There is a demi-plane that gets overlooked a lot called Neth, which I think is incredibly interesting. It is essentially one massive organism that is constantly trying to learn and consume. Occasionally, it buds other sentient organisms called the Children of Neth, which act as extensions of this plane who attack, collect, or communicate in, around, or (rarely) far outside itself on its behalf.

@@Toolgirl64209 The entire plane has multiple different levels, all completely different and equally chaotic. Usually, what you saw was a fragment of what's there. The plane, as well as any plane in existence, is warped by its inhabitants, and the only real rule there is that nothing born there can escape. That is literally the only rule. Everything else is completely shaped by its inhabitants, with continent-wide Savannahs where horrid mounds of flesh (See the Odopi) roam, with nothing but their base instincts to hunt and destroy; this, in turn, makes the realm itself nothing but a plane entirely made up of constantly changing places, filled with anything from fire and brimstone to icelands that coud freeze you in mere milliseconds. That's what makes it chaotic, not the plane itself, but the nature of its inhabitants, their sheer power, and their constant drive to cause chaos and destruction.

@Jan Sitkowski it's a reference to an entity in the planescape setting. You see, Sigil has an infestation of rats. Not just any rats though, they're telepathic hive mind critters called "Cranium Rats". A few are no different than regular rats, besides maybe throwing a color spray at you and using group tactics. But their combined intellect grows as more rats congregate. Half a dozen or so, and they can use level 2 and 3 spells iirc. And as more of them gather they only get stronger and stronger, using more and more powerful spells. 'Many As One' is the largest of these hive minds, and is made out of innumerable cranium rats. It can use powerful arcane magic (probably level nine) and is capable of forcing its will into the minds of other creatures (and player characters). It's telepathy can probably even overpower a mindflayer's! Many As One is very dangerous, even if each individual rat only has a couple hp.

The Lady of Pain suffers because she has to maintain Sigil in a location void of magic 😋 Sigil has the shape of a torus and the city is located along the inner surface of the ring. It is generally agreed by knowledgeable people that this should be impossible, since the center of the Outlands is void of any and all magic, and yet it apparently is. Theories to explain Sigil's location and existence vary wildly, though one of the more popular is that the Lady of Pain either created it or keeps it intact - or both...

I like the traditional view of sigil being at the center of the outer planes, like it's a melting pot, or a manifold for the planes. It's the greatest hub of the realms, the nexus. Never mind the fact that it's called the city of doors for a reason! Portals exist everywhere in sigil, can be made of anything that forms a closed loop, even if briefly; and are opened by wildly varying and incredibly specific keys. A key can be anything, literally! It could be a particular tune, a stolen fork, the left ear of a half orc virgin named marie.... anything! And the portals can lead anywhere, in any of the planes. If there's a way into the far realms that hasn't been sealed off by the gods, it'll be in sigil. That's another thing. No one really knows who the lady of pain is, or even what she is, or why she's there. While not specifically said, iirc, the lady of pain may be stronger than the gods, or at least within sigil.... which she can never leave. So when gods do visit sigil - and they do! - they tend to follow her rules and her law. No one really wants to be mazed, either. Sigil itself is alive, a living entity that grows and changes overtime. Its houses and boroughs are parts of its body. To be thrown outside of sigil, over the edges, would land a person in a random location in a random plane. There are a great many fine and luxurious establishments in sigil, some touted as the best of their kind in all the realms. Every kind of being imaginable visits sigil, you're liable to see passing celestial, baatezu and tanarii occupying the same bar and NOT at each others throats. No matter their distaste for others, everyone has to be civil on the streets, and DONT poke the dabus! Otherwise, they risk drawing the attention of the lady of pain, and no one wants to meet her alone in a dark alley. Also if you love planescape, you'd also be interested in numenera, designed by the same author!

I have a feeling that the far realm is behind the void gaps of the ethereal plane. They exist outside of D&D cosmology and Leicester's gap has a station that was built around it where everyone was found dead with horrible mutations and a broken spyglass where you can see some amorphous creature with partially digested people inside it approaching. It was also haunted by a far realm creature--a large version of some others that have been seen on the border ethereal, dating back to 2nd edition days and more far realm sounding creatures were showing up at the time in the ethereal, despite no one even speaking of "the far realm" yet that I'm aware of--but did say there was some elder elemental godlike creature the gods of the different crystal spheres locked away in a demiplane prison when it escaped a place beyond known cosmology. People became aware of "the old ones" later. **shrugs**

I first learned about the planes in Planescape:Torment, from that guy in the bar. Nowadays, I use my own take on the planes. Still the Great Wheel, but the inner planes sit on one side of a holographic coin, where the feywilds, material, and shadow planes sit next to each other but at different orientations, thus they can only interact in very specific ways. The elemental planes would sit just outside the coin, holding it in place, while the ethereal plane is the rim of the coin. On the other side is the outlands, and sigil in the center. So the inner planes are like the hubcap and spokes of the great wheel. The elemental planes are the spokes, while the prime planes make the top or 'outside' (a misnomer, I know), while the outlands underneath connect to the axle that Sigil sits atop, and around which the multiverse slowly turns. In addition, I like to think that any movement from inner planes to the outer planes or visa versa, has to be routed through sigil first; hence, why it is the City of *Doors*! Or, the 'cage'... because the gods are the ones turning the multiverse, and it's that motion of the "Great Wheel" that keeps the infinite, unknowable far realms and the lovecraftian cosmic horrors lurking within at bay. And being at the center, Sigil is the only place where the two can connect. Surrounding the multiverse, the positive and negative planes are the front and back of the great wheel as it rolls through the far realms; kind of like a doppler effect where the positive plane is crashing into the far realms constantly and the negative plane is where all that energy vacates the multiverse back into the far realm. That's my interpretation, atleast. Hehe, I really like the planes.

i use the "far realm" to describe it as a always changeing, never understandable collection of everything, any place made at random, tecnologies that donsen't exist are posible, laws dosen't exist but caos neighter, but there's no balance eighter, and incide an entitiy that looks upon his creation this universe and only wants blood from it, when he get's bored he destroys every single plane and thus the universe, and remake it anew. (the entity is the dm and the players)

@@PRGME7 The positive and negative planes aren't talked about because no one goes to them. The negative plane is basically a black hole that sucks all the life and light out of things, killing just about anything and the positive plane is like the core of a star, putting life and light into a person and I would guess destroying them.

They collapsed and smashed into the Inner Planes during the Spellplague, between the 3rd and 4th editions, so the current 5th edition doesn't have them. The same event also effectively brought Shadowfell and Feywild into the setting, as sort of replacements. But the planes weren't that interesting in the first place, certainly not to a mortal.

So, I was wondering. Has anyone ever had the idea to base a campaign on a shard of a plane? As in, it was broken off from one of the planes and now "orbits" the plane(s)? Cause that would create some interesting, complicated, and cool scenarios and would be really unique

The infinite stair is an interesting demiplane stretching out from ysgard. It constantly repairs it self and has gates through to every other plane or demiplane that exists. Inhabited by a race of humanoids with feathered wings and torsos ending in long serpentine tales. They are lawful neutral and non hostile aslong is no damage is done to the stair. The materials and ecosystem of the stairs construction changes on landings where gates exist, resembling the plane on the other side. Due to its neutrality all manner of beings of power Can be found traversing it if they are in the know

I created a homebrew plane called the Lowerlost. It's similar to the feywild and shadowfell in that it overlaps with the material plane. It appears as a near exact recreation of the material plane, but all natural colors are inverted. It's home to tons of unique creatures that have been outcast from other planes and societies, called the Lost. It's very unique in that time can flow differently depending on how long you stay there, but can also provide powerful magical abilities

My Slavic-inspired homebrew campaign setting would probably have Nav exist parallel to the Material Plane, but considering what Nav is (realm of the dead, associated with lots of cthonic/nature deities and also with creatures like the fey), I guess it would be equivalent to both the Feywild AND the Shadowfell?
