Outer Planes
The Outer Planes are realms shaped not by matter, but by belief, alignment, and divine will. Unlike the Inner Planes, which form the substance of reality, the Outer Planes give form to ideals, morality, and the afterlife.
These planes are home to gods, celestials, fiends, and countless other extraplanar beings. Souls of the dead often pass to the Outer Planes, drawn to realms that reflect their beliefs, deeds, or patron deities. As worship and faith shape these planes, they are not fixed landscapes, but living expressions of conviction and purpose.
In the cosmology of Enderlin, the Outer Planes lie beyond the Astral Plane, forming the great ring of divine realms that surround mortal existence. To travel there is to leave the familiar laws of the world behind and enter domains where belief itself becomes reality.
Here is an overview of the Outer Planes:
- Mount Celestia – A shining, seven-tiered mountain of ultimate law and goodness, where justice and virtue are rewarded.
- Bytopia – A dual-layered world of cooperative lawfulness and altruism, where citizens labor for shared prosperity.
- Elysium – A serene and blissful paradise, embodying pure goodness and free from strife or suffering.
- The Beastlands – A wild and untamed realm where natural law and neutrality prevail, and creatures live in harmony with instinct and the land.
- Arborea – A lush, chaotic plane of freedom and passionate emotion, home to music, love, and valor.
- Olympus – A storm-wreathed plane of chaotic good, where heroic deeds and divine inspiration shape the land.
- The Outlands – A neutral hub at the center of the Outer Planes, a crossroads of all alignments and home to the fabled city of Sigil.
- Mechanus – The ultimate plane of law, composed of immense, interlocking gears that turn with cosmic precision.
- Arcadia – A plane of ordered peace, where law and goodness coexist in harmonious balance.
- The Nine Hells (Baator) – A fiery, hierarchical inferno of strict law and relentless punishment for the damned and ambitious alike.
