Bright
Bright is a plane of existence that exists largely in theory, but with quite a bit of empirical support. Little is known about this plane, though some druids have claimed to find a way to detach from their bodies and explore this four-dimensional soul-filled dimension.
Fauna & Flora
While little is known about the landscape, the practice of conjuration magic has allowed many who study this plane to summon other-worldly creatures with whom they were able to (after some time) communicate with. Most of these beings are very intelligent and largely passive to the mortal plane. However, they find it unsettling that mortals are capable of forcing them not only into Dwell, but also giving them rudimentary commands that they must follow.
There was also the discovery of necromancy when people realized that their physical bodies were sort of puppeted by souls in Bright. Those souls could be pulled out of bright, similar to how conjuration magic pulled ethereal beings, which resulted in some... horrifying discoveries. One such discovery was that, when you try to put one soul into another's body, the original soul is destroyed and the new one takes on their personality. In a way, both are destroyed (though it brought up an interesting philosophical debate about life existing in continuity). Pulling a soul out to possess the body it was already in control of, however, changed very little. That is, until the body dies, which also kills the soul. This is sometimes used as a form of capital punishment, but only in very extreme cases.
Pulling out souls of long deceased people, however, is fairly simple and not at all unlike conjuring an ethereal being. It is fairly common practice to do this when trying to decipher various mysteries... though deceased souls are usually not very helpful, since they are either passive or even slightly mischievous. No one is really certain why this is, but it could have something to do with the absence of certain physiological processes that affect judgement or perhaps, in death, souls just find mortality trivial. It's difficult to tell.
As far as flora goes, some odd, inanimate structures have been discovered... but not properly identified. Currently, this is classified as "flora" of Bright, but more research is required.
