The Plane of Shadows
Demiplanes form out of the proto-matter that ebbs and flows about the Ethereal Plane, creating a finite plane with its own Border Ethereal whenever a critical mass is achieved. The largest of these is called the Demiplane of Shadow, and is made up of both positive and negative energy in equal measure. For those traveling through the Ethereal Plane, the curtain of vaporous color for the Demiplane of Shadow is the color silver. Wizards can shadow walk directly to the edge of the Shadow Plane and travelers can use this plane as a transitive plane to traverse many Prime Material miles/kilometers very quickly.
While having its own Border Ethereal, the Plane of Shadows connects to many parts of the Prime Material, linking the Crystal Spheres closer than the Wild Space between them ever could.
Within the the shifting shadows there are dark creatures, many spawned by Shaar and other deities aligned to the shadows, making the plane dangerous to travers. Planar manifolds, nooks and crannies bear sometimes safe harbor to those who know how to find them, and even within this demiplane, there are a number of subordinate demiplanes, some of which are or were inhabited by the enigmatic race of the Synads.
The demiplanes still occupied by Synad nations are called Vorgulsund, Hestivalra and Atvareh. The former Synad planes of Zankari and Festa have not been inhabited since the 9230s GAL and the 10240s GAL respectively, and the former Synad plane of Hârbingal was resettled by the Synod of Anarchy in recent years, though few individuals knew that the first resettlers were actually the small Council of Urpriests that attempted to hide their power from the gods within the many folds of the Plane of Shadows.
