- | === The Celestial Planes === | + | ===== The Planes of Belief ===== |
- | Inhabited by the gods and their angels, the [[settings:celestialplanes|Celestial Planes]] are a collection of worlds each ruled over by a single god. Mortals have visited the Celestial Planes before, reporting them to be wondrous worlds of power and magic. Each god designs their own plane to their whims, giving each a unique name. Celestial planes may be heavenly and peaceful, such as Isis' meadows of Vitania and Vormaxia' | + | Some planes exist on their own, irrespective of the thoughts, dreams, and attitudes of mortals. They have existed since the dawn of time, and will continue to exist after all mortalkind across every material world is gone. The Planes of Belief are not so. Although they may be extremely different, what defines these planes is the fact that they were borne of and are still, to some extent, affected by mortals. |

+ | Some, like the Dreaming, are actively built by and respond to mortals, while others were spawned by mortal thoughts and beliefs, but now mostly function independently. | ||

+ | ===== The Elemental Planes | ||
Where the sources of elemental magic flow and ebb from, various types of magical flux pass through the Planar Sea and collide into the Material Plane. In some places, these planes may overlap with ours and create natural portals, allowing elemental beings to enter the material world. Some believe there to be only four elemental planes; those of fire, water, earth, and air - while others insist that there are more whose power has simply not been tapped into yet. Many believe the Elemental Planes to ebb and weave between material worlds. Sorcerers, seeking the penultimate ascension of their magical abilities, travel to the Elemental Planes regularly to undergo the ritual of sorcery. | Where the sources of elemental magic flow and ebb from, various types of magical flux pass through the Planar Sea and collide into the Material Plane.

- | The [[Kurago]] is a strange, misty world. Most well known as the afterlife of Jaernian nomads, the Kurago is a plane of spirits and vague landscapes, a purgatory of sorts and an in-between world. Little travel into the Kurago has been achieved, but those who have visited say that it is a relatively safe place, if a little dreary. | + | ===== The Kurago |

Studies so far into the Void report it to be an infinite, hostile space that lies physically below the bottom of the Beneath. Ancient beings beyond mortal and even divine ken are rumored to reside here, gleaning worship from some mortal cults. These beings are often referred to as " | ||

These two enigmatic worlds were first proposed to exist by the ancient Torandor scholar Jican Trion.

**World Tree Theory:** This theory places each plane as a leaf on a massive, metaphysical tree. Some, like the celestial planes, lie near the crown of this tree while others lie nearer to the roots. Each world on the Material Plane is seen as a different leaf, and it is possible here for multiple planes to lie on the same " | **World Tree Theory:** This theory places each plane as a leaf on a massive, metaphysical tree.
