Those that live on the layers of Mrityulok tend to be wild monsters somehow related to the disciplines the layers mimic, or soldiers and other martial masters who have come for training or battle. Occasional warcamps of various aligned forces can be found, treating the plane as a midway point between their home plane and the one they fight against. The top layer of On the Battlegrounds is surprisingly barren except for four places of note: ''', most live in the City of Mars:''' Built in an oval around the hilt of Durandel(see below), Mars serves as both an entry point for visitors from the plane and as a massive trading city. Those who seek weapons and armor best trade here, for usually they can be found in the Martian markets. It is policed by a group of powerful warriors who maintain law and order between often vigorously opposed sides while in the city. Duels and battles are commonexist there only temporarily, and heavily ritualized. Those who die in combat are seen as honorable, a fate better than falling to old age. '''Necropolis of Soldiers:''' A massive graveyard exists in the wastes, build around the fossilized bodies of some unknown dead god whose mountainous form remains charged with energypopulation always changing. The ghosts of dead heroes and villains of war haunt here, offering secret and lost knowledge, but also threatening Only the living with terrible violent death. It Peacekeeper Organization is haunted by a particularly powerful spirit known as the Black Warrior, who some say is an incarnation of death itself. '''Sea of Sunken Ships:''' A large body of water known as the sea of sunken ships spreads across 1/3rd of the landscape, linking into the cosmic waters from which both the River Styx and River Oceanus flow into. Small islands dot the edge of shore, eventually becoming smaller and smaller and fading into the mists. The bottom is littered with sunken and lost ships which seem to have vanished from other worlds and ended up here. Tales of ghost ships are common, and ships appearing from other spaces and other times. One might run into a small craft of primitive men, or an future aircraft carrier which slips from your view and vanishes once more. '''Victory Tower:''' On the edge of the shore of an island within the sea of sunken ships, the victory tower stands glowing like a light house. The insides are filled with powerful and violent monsters which seem to boil from some source deep below and unexplored. However what interests most is the light on top. It is said that the light grants enlightenment on how to be victorious in all things. However those who are not strong enough of spirit, and those who stare into the light too long face a terrible fate as their bodies fight against its own cells, slaying the victim. It is said only one man has ever survived this process, reborn from a single dominate cell who then immediately ascended to godhood and vanished. All others who try have failed or become monsters of their own..constant.
