The Astral Plane
It is the space between everything.
It is the road that goes everywhere.
It is where you are when you aren’t anywhere else.
The Astral Plane is the space between the planes. When a character moves though an interplanar portal or projects her spirit to a different plane of existence, then she travels through the Astral Plane. Even spells that allow instantaneous movement across a plane, such as dimension door, briefly touch the Astral Plane.
The Astral Plane is a great, endless sphere of clear silvery sky, both above and below. Large tube shaped clouds slowly coil into the distance, some appearing like thunderheads and others looking like immoblile tornadoes of grey wind. Erratic whirlpools of color fliker in midair like spinning coins. There are occasional bits of solid matter here, but most of the Astral Plane is an endless, open domain.
Both planar travelers and refugees from other planes call the Astral Plane home. The most prominent denizens of the Astral Plane are the githyanki, an outcast race that preys on travelers thoughout the plane. The Astral colects the flotsam and jetsam of great events that have shaken the foundations of the cosmology itself. The shattered, fused bodies of dead deities, forgotten by their worshipers and banished from the divine planes, can be found here. Some say they are not truly dead, only sleeping.
Astral Traits:
No Gravity
Timeless
Infinite Size
Alterable Morphic
No Elemental or Energy
Mildly Neutral-Aligned
Enhanced Magic
