Planes of Existence:
The Astral Realms consist of four plains of existence:
- The Heavens, or the High Plains, is a bright realm where the sun never sets. At the highest point of the Heavens stands Olympus, a flying mount inhabited by Gods who watch over the mortals in other plains of existence.
- Below the Heavens lie the Middle Lands, the largest plain of existence made of countless islands scattered across the Astral. These lands were given to mortals by the Olympic Gods. Gods from Olympus and the Abyss must cast avatars of themselves to travel there.
- The Lower Plains, or the Abyss, is inhabited by various dangerous monsters collectively known as the Darkspawn. The Abyss contains seven layers from top to bottom. The deeper the layer, the more evil and depraved the monsters that dwell in it.
- The last one is Tartarus, a chaotic plain of existence that serves as a prison for Titans, primordial evil beings. The entrance to Tartarus lies in the maelstrom at the very center of the Astral skies, where only Gods can travel.
