Material Plane

The Material Plane, or sometimes Prime Material Plane, is the plane of existence in which the world of Kial exists, and in which the bulk of the Odyssey of the Sun&apos;s story takes place. The Prime Material Plane only includes the plain in which the world of Kial exists, while the Material Plane also includes the Echo and the Trace. The areas where other plains of existence interact with the Material Plane are called "hotspots" and vary greatly in intensity. Extremely strong hotspots can result in portals between different planes.


 * The Prime Material Plane is the plane in which Kialia and the surrounding cosmos existed. This surrounding cosmos is referred to as Realmspace, or just Space.
 * The Echo is an appropriately named version of the Prime Material Plane. Said to be the dark side of Ki's subconsciousness, the Echo is extremely similar to the Prime Material Plane, but warped heinous ways. It shares much of the same terrain, but while the Prime Material Plane might have a forest of trees, the Echo has a forest of petrified wood with blue fire filling it's leafless canopy.
 * The Trace is similar to the Echo as it is also a version of the Prime Material Plane. Described as a "waking daydream," the Trace is a strange plane where many rules simply don't apply. A lake might be filled with breathable water, trees may grow from the ceiling of a cave, and a tropical rain forest might be found on the "frozen" poles of the planet.

Inner Planes

 * The Elemental Chaos is divided into the "cosmic elements" which are said to combine to make all matter.
 * The Elemental Planes of Fire, Water, Air and Earth frequently intersect with the Material Plane. Some groups establish themselves as guardians to the portals which result.
 * The Energy Planes of Negative and Positive Energy are said to consists of the two types of energy that govern over life and death. Though no portals have ever been discovered between the Material Planes and the Energy Planes, signs of where they intersect with the Material Plane can been seen in either an abundance of life or death.
 * The Para-Elemental Planes of Magma, Ooze, Ice, and Smoke are much smaller than the "True Elemental Planes" which combine to create them. As a result their interaction with the Material Plane is rare. However, where they do intersect the hotspot almost always results in a portal.
 * The Quasi-Elemental Planes are subdivided depending on which Energy Plane they are associated with. The Quasi-Elemental Planes associated with the Negative Energy Plane are the planes of Salt, Dust, Ash, and Vacuum. The Quasi-Elemental Planes associated with the Positive Energy Plane are the planes of Radiance, Minerals, Lightning, and Steam. Elementalists (researchers specialized in the study of the elements) propose two theories relating to the interaction between the Quasi-Elemental Planes and the Material Plane. The first is that the Quasi-Elemental Planes and the Material Plane rarely interact, but when they do they result in colossal phenomenons, such as the Cyclone or Titan's Scar. The second theory is that the Quasi-Elemental Planes and the Material Plane interact extremely frequently, but never strongly. According to this theory the interaction between the planes can be seen in the discovery of precious metals, thunder storms, salt deposits, and other seemingly natural phenomenon. No known portal to the Quasi-Elemental Planes has been discovered.


 * The Resplendent Archipelago, is said to be the home of the Gods. It is described as a paradise where need or want is nonexistent and beauty graces every aspect of the environment. Mortals are forbidden from entering the Plane, however, several myths tell of gods summoning champions to the realm.
 * According to the Communion of the Flame the Resplendent Archipelago is the source of divine magic and the blessed lands of the Almighty where his devoted with experience eternal bliss. This is notably different from Genesian views of the plane.


 * The Hallow Deltas, or the Underworld, is the realm where souls go after they die. It is comprised of several different "layers" that house different souls depending on their actions in life.

Outer Planes

 * Cocytus (CE), like several other outer planes, was crafted to imprison a divine being. Cocytus is a paradox where it is both infinitely expanding and also finitely small. Also known as "the home of all lost things," Cocytus was constructed to function as a one way passage where things or beings could be banished with little chance of ever leaving. As a result, not much is known about the plane other than what is described in ancient myths.
 * It is said that rifts to Cocytus can open unexpectedly and without reason, pulling parts of the other planes into Cocytus. Usually these rifts are extremely small and weak, however, only being able to take rather insignificant portions.
 * Titan's Folly (LE), also commonly called the Arena, is a endless battlefield soaked in blood and conquest from three opposing forces. Created during the Empyrean Discord, Titan's Folly is said to be the corpse of a slain Elder. As a result, travel to or from the planes isn't common.
 * Ithermore (NE) is a plane cloaked in shadow and dread. Creatures of the night thrive and spawn in the darkness before attempting to strike out into the other planes to cause untold havoc.
 * Sometimes called the Necrosis Plague, vampirism was thought to have originated from this plane.
 * Limbo (CN) is a place of pure chaos where everything is in constant motion and change, especially the landscape, which can shift unpredictably and randomly rolls over upon itself like liquid. Very few places in Limbo are stable enough for normal travel.
 * Anachtyr (LN) is both a plane of existence and a sentient Elder. Souls unfit for rebirth are sent here. It is described at a twisting chasm of untold pain and horror. Those who enter are unlikely to return.
 * The Garden Depths (NG) is a realm of raw unbounded nature, filled with all sorts of plants, animals, and magical beasts. It is described as maze-like by nonnatives. Similarly to Ithermore, therianthropy is thought to have originated from another plane of existence and migrated to the Prime Material Plane; the Garden Depths is a prime suspect due to its high concentration of therianthropes.
 * Ordinance (LG) is mechanical and structured, and widely considered one of the nicer outer planes. Powerful or wealthy mortals will occasionally visit Ordinance for vacations or trade. Some devils even reside here due to the intricate structure, however, as war is chaotic, very little conflict results from this.
 * The Mistground (CG), or the Dream realm, is located close to the Underworld, and is a trapping of psychic energy from both mortals and divine. The planes is filled will rolling hills made of soft pink clouds and gentle harp music. While pleasant at first, the plane progressively gets more and more unsettling the longer one stays.
 * Notably, a few very minor gods claim to have been born in the slowly floating fields of the Mistground.

Transition Planes
There exists three known Transition Planes:


 * The Astral Plane, or Astral Sea, contains gateways to other planes and is a frequently used mode of transportation, however, moving from one plane to another is also possible and often times faster from adjacent planes.
 * According to Lady Allura, when a Bag of Holding is destroyed, its contents are jettisoned into the Astral Sea.
 * When Scanlan Shorthalt scried through his magic, his consciousness transcended the Material Plane, traveled across the Astral Sea, and arrived at his scrying destination on the Material Plane.
 * The Ethereal Plane blankets the Material Plane, but they're out of phase with each other. It is composed of the ether where the Prime Material Plane, the Echo, and the Trace overlap one another.
 * The Nether Plane, or more commonly the Nether Sea, is said to connect all planes of existence, both known and unknown.
 * Theoretically, it could then be used similarly to the Astral Plane; however, it's existence is purely speculation as no recorded travel to or from the plane has even been documented.

Severed Planes
The "Severed Planes" are the hypothesized planes which exist outside of the Astral Sea. None have been discovered, so their interaction with the Material Planes is minimal to nonexistent.

Beyond the Edge

 * Barovia is a demiplane, which, exists beyond the Edge, and outside of space-time entirely in fact. It is able to be used almost like a layover location when traveling between Existences.
 * The Forgotten Realms is a different Existence. Creatures from one Existence can travel to another only by first transporting themselves outside of space-time.
 * Exandria is a different Existence. Creatures from one Existence can travel to another only by first transporting themselves outside of space-time.
 * Eberron is a different Existence. Creatures from one Existence can travel to another only by first transporting themselves outside of space-time.
 * Theros is a different Existence. Creatures from one Existence can travel to another only by first transporting themselves outside of space-time.
 * Greyhawk is a different Existence. Creatures from one Existence can travel to another only by first transporting themselves outside of space-time.
