The Astral

Geography

The Astral Plane is one of the Transitive Planes, a vast expanse of thought and potential that stretches from the skies of Geminaea’s planets out to the Divine Divide, the barrier that encloses the celestial system. It is the great link between all the planes, and many travelers cross it on the way to other realms.

Climate

Within the Divine Divide, the Astral Sea is rich in Aethyr, dense enough that travelers can breathe, move and even cast spells. The Winds of Magic flow freely, and those who know how can steer through the void by willpower alone. Beyond the Divide, scholars believe, lies a cold and silent emptiness where magic and life can hardly exist.

Inhabitants

The plane is home to astral predators and ancient beings, and it holds fragments of forgotten realms adrift in the void.

Dangers

Thought shapes reality here, so a wandering mind can lead a traveler astray, and those who drift too long risk losing themselves. Its predators make exploration perilous, and Aethyr instability can even tear open rifts that pull the unwary in.

Points of Interest

Stars and celestial phenomena serve as landmarks for those who navigate the plane. The Divine Divide marks its farthest reach and the boundary between the realms the gods protect and the emptiness outside.
