CREATION, describes the location and the occupied of existence. All of Creation may be defined by unique variants blends of energy and materia interwoven by the Protogenoi. Nearly limitless in description and potential, the planes – or Realms – embody the fundamental aspects of reality. Each realm is a universe unto itself; and follows its own specific natural laws and has its own unique inhabitants.

The pattern of planes breaks down into a number of general types: The Five ‘Material Planes’, the Transitive Points, the Outer Realms, and the Far Realms.

Material Planes : Of all the material planes Meridian is the most Earthlike. It operates under the same set of natural laws that our own world does. It is the default plane upon which the campaign resides. But it is only one of five planes defined by a Material Existence. It is said the other four primes are only reflections of Meridian but this egoism is due to the philosopher drawing his nature as a native of the Meridian. Each of the 5 reflections is more dependent on one of the five classic elements by which all matter is composed. Each of the five is infused by energies which exist in all realms, but in the Material Planes may be collected or dispersed often called Positive and Negative Energy. They are subjectively attributed to all manner of myths or places but in truth, they are just attributes of existence.
Foundation (‘Mechana’ -Fire), Flux (‘Astara’ -Water), Meridian (Arkos -Earth), Shadowfell (Rahu-Metal), FeyWyld (Vitae -Wood).

Transitive points: Each of the Material planes has multiple dimensional anchors (defined construct realities often resembling cities), it is by these moorings that the Outer Realms hinge upon the Material Planes and thus may transcending the Veil separating the Mortal Coil from the Outer Powers. Known as Transitive points due to their one important and binding common characteristic: each of these points are used to get from one reality to another set via a multiplicity of portals and door ways. All transitive points have inhabitants native to that well.

The Outer Realms: The deities live on the Outer Realms, as do creatures such as Celestials, Fiends, and other Outsiders. Each of the Outer Realms is representative a particular philosophical outlook, and the natives of these realms tend to behave in agreement with that realms’ moral or ethical objectives as much – as we live in accord with laws gravity or buoyancy. [Abaddon, the Abyss, Elysium, Heaven, Hell, Limbo, Nirvana, Purgatory, Utopia are all Outer Realms.]

The Far Realms: Beyond the Outer Gates lay the Far Realm. The Far Realm contains an infinite number of layers, these layers range from inches thick to miles, and it is often possible to perceive multiple layers simultaneously. What little we know of the Far Realm is described by the tortured prophets and oracles of nightmare trapped dreaming in the waking world, It is a plane of existence far outside the others and is often not included in the standard cosmology. Sometimes referred to simply as “Outside”, because it is literally outside of CREATION. An anomalous plane, bizarre and maddening. Home to many powerful and unspeakable beings so unfathomable that their very existence is a perversion of reality. Creatures native to or connected with the Far Realm are Aberrant in origin. Native creatures within the Far Realms are known as Starspawn. Humanoids tainted by the Far Realms are known as Foulspawn.

Sealed off from Creation by an Eternal Construct known only as the Outer Gates. According to Legend the Outer Gates were breached, during the Dawn War. A time of great madness between the New Gods and Protogenoi. The breach existed and was sealed in the same moment, briefly allowing the Far Realm to become aware of Our Realms and infection to invade Our World. It is believed that development of Psionics is directly correlated as a means to seek out infestations of Far Realm beings which infected Creation at the time of the Dawn War. These beings are constantly trying to transform Creation to ’rejoin the Dark Chaos outside of Creation.
