Background[]
Also known as the Will of Adepts, it is a consciousness formed by the will of all living things inside the world of adepts.
Lethon was once just a normal large type plane during the Titan-Disaster Wars. After the Titans fell asleep and the Disaster Lords were forced to take care of their failing plane, the Adept World rose to prominence alongside the God World, the Dragon World, the Gnome World, and several other large planes. Lethon is a very imperialistic plane that robs, conquers, and enslaves other planes.
Lethon is the birthplace of the Adept civilization. The early history of Adepts started off as a feudalistic society with those who had arcane talents becoming revered as protectors who safeguarded human settlements from the many dangerous magical beasts. Eventually, the protectors became known as Adepts and became the ruling class, they became stronger and stronger by researching natural laws and defeating strong magical beasts and absorbing their bloodlines.
The Adept Civilization reached a new peak when Salem,Ignaz, and Saint Patrick became Ninth Grade Adepts and were crowned as The Three Sovereigns; the three major Adept organizations were each founded by a sovereign. Salem united the Northern Witches and was crowned the Witch Queen, Ignaz founded the Adept Association and was the first president, and Saint Patrick created the Silver Union and was given the title "Creator".
It was at that moment in time that Lethon decided that all Adepts above the Fourth Grade had to leave the plane, it could not support so many high energy beings and it did not want to share the fate of the Disaster Plane. Lethon made a deal with all Adepts that were Fifth Grade and above, they would leave the plane to the galaxy outside and in return; Lethon would allow them to leave behind their legacies. The Adepts agreed and left Lethon, they established pseudo planes outside, exterminated any magic beast above Fourth Grade, and left behind extremely powerful legacies to the younger and weaker Adept generations.
This and other "Will's" left behind are taken as rules and they are enforced by the will of adepts. If a resident of Lethon did something that it deemed beneficial, Lethon would reward them while if said resident did things that were deemed harmful to Lethon, there would be consequences. In the case of the unholy ritual of Adept Anderson, Lethon directly interfered and allowed Greem up into First Grade Adept even though he had only a 7% chance of advancement.

Trivia[]
- There are dozens of subordinate large type planes that are vassals to Lethon.
- Lethon is revered among adepts(both those that are from Lethon or from one of its vassal planes).
- Adepts who advanced from Lethon are considered superior than Adepts who advanced from a vassal plane.
- 1 degree is measured by the amount of energy a magic crystal releases.
- energy in Magic Towers is measured by pulnars, and one pulnar is equivalent to the magic power of a First Grade fireball( between 60 and 120 degrees).
- Lethon is kept relatively safe from any serious harm, there are interplanar intruders that invade Lethon but the Great Adepts actually allow it to happen to test their juniors or ignore it because its beneath their notice. And Lethon would automatically weaken them to below fifth grade regardless of who intrudes.
- Lethon is far away from the main battle lines, and is kept guarded by a network of pseudo planes and satellite planes conquered by adepts.
- The mainland adepts receive preferential treatment compared to the adepts that emerge from satellite planes, the adepts of satellite planes are often near the main battle lines and are often conscripted as cannon fodder. Many of them die in major interplanar wars.
- minor planar wars (large plane invades small/medium plane) have a 50% Rookie First Grade Adept mortality rate.
- major planar wars (developed large plane invades undeveloped large plane) have a 50% Fourth Grade Adept mortality rate.
- In major interplanar wars, a qualified battle squad is led by a Sixth Grade Adept and comprises several Fifth Grade Adepts.
- In major interplanar wars (developed large plane fights developed plane on a large plane in between them), a qualified battle camp is comprised of several battle squads and is managed by a Seventh Grade Adept.
- There are four main battle lines extending around Lethon. (Zhentarim vs Beast Gods, Witches vs Elf Gods, Adept association vs Abyss World, Silver Union vs Dragons)
- Lethon is ranked middle among the imperalistic planes, it is weaker than the God's World but stronger than the Dragon's World.
- Morrian Plane is comparable to Lethon in development, but the adept civilization due its fortunate timing and focus on strength is magnitudes stronger than the Arcane Empire on Morrian
- Lethon and every Great/Grand Adept have an arrangement. Every Great Adept is allowed to visit Lethon every 100 years for a limited amount of time. For Greem, when he was a Sixth Grade, it was 30 days. Once visited, the Great Adept will have to wait 100 years. Lethon has a designated point of entry for all returning Great Adepts, which is the prophesy tower. All Great Adepts who want to legally enter Lethon must go through there.
- Greem's Legacy to Lethon is manifested through the Cursed Fire Profession.
- Lethon is indirectly helping Morrian Plane revive the Arcane Empire, because during the Fifth Grade advancement of Alice, she promised Lucia that she would help her revive the Arcane Empire. This vow was acknowledged by the fate power of Lethon.
