Paragon

Paragon is a planet that is home to the Polyhedroids and the Guardians in Charles 10.

Description
On the exterior, Paragon appears to be a cross between a mechanical planet, a Swiss Army knife, and an analog clock with a pendulum. As such, it is completely uninhabitable. However, there is an entrance under the clock face to a docking bay. On the inside, it is made up of hallways and halls. Polyhedroids mill about inside. There are 7 major chambers, each containing one of the 7 Gems of Paragon. The first chamber is a huge maze, patrolled by the mouse-like Guardian Ratsputin, with the amethyst at the center. The next one is in essence a small ocean, with the Topaz hidden in a coral reef that is also home for the shark-like Leviathan. The next is completely empty except for a ceiling made of storm clouds (not even a floor!) and a thin metal bridge. The Guardian, who is made out of electricity, rams into the bridge to prevent you from making it to the Diamond. The next is a jungle temple, with intelligent plants that all serve Neverest, the living mountain, who sits on top of the Jade. The next is the Jasper, floating above a volcano from which rises the phoenix-like Guardian of the Center. Last is the Garnet, whose chamber is frozen and filled with snow, guarded by the powerful polar-bear Guardian Ictitch, and which is located in Ictitch's favorite seal. After that, you must proceed to an empty, unguarded room, with a mirror. If you are of good intentions, and you have all the gems, the opal will appear out of the mirror.

History
Paragon was built in several dimensions at once as an inter-dimensional craft, but instead it became a multi-dimensional artificial planet. The gems were added to Paragon in 220,000,000,000 B.C.E. They remained there until 1760 C.E. when the first successful attempt to claim them all was brought about by a Silurian named Icthyos. They were returned, however, in 1771, when an American revolutionary got hold of them and threw them into a lake. The Leviathan having power in all lakes, he returned them to their original positions.
