The Astral Sea

"Time. Or rather the absence of it. In the Astral Plane, everything is eternal." -Gale

The Astral Sea, more colorfully known as "The Silver Void", is a void; however it differs from Wildspace in that it is not an airless one. Here, an adventurer can breathe normally and exist indefinitely, never aging and never needing food or drink. They can propel themselves through the Astral Sea with the power of their mind alone, though many astral voyagers wisely travel in well-armed ships, for this place is the home of a host of fearsome creatures. Here travelers might find the petrified hulks of dead gods and swirling pools of color that serve as portals to other planes of existence.

Due to the disagreements in various Cosmologies, some have come to regard 'The Astral Sea' synonymously with The Astral Plane itself. Others see it as a sort of road or bridge between Realms and Planes of Existance, a mere facet of The Astral Plane.

Wildspace and the Astral Sea together comprise the Astral Plane. Within the 'Crucible of Creation' campaign setting, the Astral Sea is treated as a region within the larger Astral Plane that has its own set of unique properties, just as the Wildspace Systems are also considered regions within the Astral Plane with their own set of properties.  The boundary's between Wildspace and the Astral Sea are said to ebb and flow throughout the ages, sometimes quite sporadically, or with strange 'pockets' or 'rivers' separating the two.
