Planes

The Planes are the various subdivisions of reality, a series of which is centered on the Material Plane.

"The Universe" as it is commonly described, is also known as the Material Plane. This is the reality where the world of Gern exists. All other planes are alternate dimensions that beings from the primary universe can travel to either in life or some after death.

The Afterlife
Following death, the soul is cast out of the material plane and is led to whatever plane their soul is most aligned towards. Each of these planes is a part of the afterlife.


 * 1) Heaven - Peaceful good aligned souls
 * 2) Folkvangr, land of the warrior's host - Martial good aligned souls
 * 3) Asphodel, fields of the neutral and mediocre
 * 4) Hell - Evil souls claimed by Lucifer
 * 5) The Deep - Evil souls left for the Demon Lords
