The third heaven, also called The Heaven of Pearls, is
lit by a soft white glow from the airy vault above it.
Its land is green && soft, consisting of verdant moors && crop lands && meadows.
It is in Venya that the realms of The Green Fields, the home of the halfling pantheon, are found.


The following method of creating charts is based on the sum of 1 8-sided
and 1 12-sided die, producing a rnage from 2-20 with a large flat spot of
equal probability in the 9-13 range. Those desiring "unique" creatures
might assign them 2 to 20 pips. Monsters can be placed into the 19
resulting slots according to their frequency in the region, as follows:
 
Die Roll Frequency
2 Very rare
3 Very rare
4 Very rare or rare
5 Rare
6 Rare
7 Uncommon*
8 Uncommon*
9 Common**
10 Common**
11 Common**
12 Common**
13 Common**
14 Uncommon*
15 Uncommon*
16 Rare
17 Rare
18 Very rare or rare
19 Very rare
20 Very rare

Below are 2 sample charts drawn from the temperate, wild, forested
areas. In Example 1 the forest is the sylvan home of elves, plagued by
gnoll raiders. In example 2 the forest is a dark woods inhabited by
spiders and other foul beasts. DMs are encouraged to tailor their
encounters to their own worlds in a similar fashion.
