Material

In the Forgotten Realms, the Material Plane is the central plane of existence where most of the physical world resides. It is a vast, natural realm filled with diverse landscapes, civilizations, and life forms. This plane is home to the planet Toril, which includes the continents of Faerûn, Kara-Tur, Maztica, and Zakhara, among others, as well as its moons and celestial bodies like the Tears of Selûne.

Key Features:

• Physical and Tangible: The Material Plane is characterized by its physical reality, where time flows naturally and the laws of physics and magic coexist.
• Home to Mortals: It is where most mortals, such as humans, elves, dwarves, and countless other races, live and shape their societies.
• Interconnected with Other Planes: The Material Plane is linked to other planes of existence, such as the Feywild, Shadowfell, Outer Planes, and Inner Planes. Portals, planar magic, and divine interventions often bridge these realms.
• Cosmic Forces: The balance between opposing cosmic forces—light and darkness, good and evil, law and chaos—plays out on the Material Plane. Deities often influence this balance through mortal followers and divine interventions.

In the Forgotten Realms, the Material Plane is the stage for countless adventures, with its landscapes, conflicts, and histories providing a richly detailed setting for campaigns.
