TL;DR: What spells or items would help a neutral good Oracle create and bring people to a demiplane that serves as refuge for those in need?
The end of our Reign of Winter campaign of 2+ years is on the horizon, and I expect we'll be starting book 6 relatively soon. Our party's behind the level curve - we'll be 13 when we finish book 5, and probably 15 by the end of book 6. Backstory/character info below.
Veran started out an outcast who spoke in tongues and was plagued by dreams of bright light and booming voices in languages he couldn't understand. The source of his oracular power was eventually revealed to be Shei the Ibis Matron, an Empyreal Lord whose focus is liberation, community, and self-actualization. Through dreams, she's pushed Veran to take his gifts of healing and use them to forge his own path in life, and he's taken that to heart. He's been the general "help those in need" kind of good guy, and he's also counseled some NPCs on righting their wrongs.
Given his history and his focus on helping the lost, once he's done with Baba Yaga he'd like to create a demiplane of refuge. Some place temperate, sunny, and pleasant, where the oppressed, rejected, and downtrodden could rest for a time before preparing themselves to go on and make changes in their lives or communities.
The obvious spells needed to make this a reality are plane shift and create demiplane. Scrying also seems good, Veran could drop foci in regions of unrest to look for people to help. Teleport and its Greater version would be great too, but they aren't on the Oracle spell list. I like the idea of refuge, but it states it can't cross planar boundaries. I'm sure there's some items out there that would have thematic links, but I'm not sure where to start on that front.
I'd appreciate any questions or ideas!
