NAME: Astral Plane
ALSO KNOWN AS: Dream Plane, Liminal Space, Reality Pringles
DESCRIPTION: The astral plane is where all of the universe’s dimensions converge. With so many different entities occupying this space, it is an ever-shifting atmosphere. At any given moment, the way the area presents can differ based on who is occupying this space. Thoughts, emotions, dreams, and even aura can influence how the plane presents at any given moment. Even two people within the same vicinity can experience this realm differently. There are neutral zones within the astral plane, the primary one being the Morpheus Market where thoughts, dreams, and information can be sold to different merchants. This provides cover from some of the many spirits, entities, and astral beasts that call the astral plane home.
LEVELS: As the astral plane is a place where so many dimensions converge and where dreams find themselves at home, there are different realms that encompass the many aspects and spirits of the astral plane. Spectral beings can travel through these realms with relative ease while others, like individuals who can astral project, have to practice this skill diligently. The different realms of the astral plane are detailed below.
The Abstract: This part of the astral plane houses the neutral zone that contains Morpheus Market. Other astral and spectral beings call this space their home. Individuals who are especially in tune with their spirituality and dreams can project to this level of the astral plane. Those who have mastered this skill are often referred to as astral projectors or dream wanderers. This is the part of the astral realm that is most easily reached by astral projectors.
The Liminal: This level of the astral realm is where spirits and ghosts find themselves following their deaths. Particularly gifted mediums or exorcists are able to connect to this realm through a variety of rituals. This allows someone who is particularly gifted with their mediumship to connect with spirits on the other side. On the chance someone’s spirit is pulled from the Celestial, they will be unable to remember being in this realm. For this reason, very little is known about what this realm actually looks like, but it is believed spirits who occupy this space are at peace.
The Ether: The Ether: The most mysterious part of the astral realm is the Ether space. This is thought to be where all dimensions converge and where all energy is believed to originate, including the souls of the departed. It is also thought to be the source of magical energies on earth, channeled by spellcasters and magically charged objects or locations. Because energy from all dimensions flows in and out, and the very identity of the Ether is constantly in flux, the plane is speculated to be the most chaotic of the realms, with only fleeting rumors of anyone ever managing to directly access it in person. With difficulty, some spellcasters have managed to draw energy forth from the Ether, but what else lies within the realm is a great mystery. Some believe that The ether is where spellcasters draw their magic from.
ASTRAL BEINGS: There are a number of creatures that call the astral plane home. Below is a list of beings that can be found within the astral plane (excluding ghosts and spirits found in the liminal).
