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 pylons! The pylons! Protect the pylons!" -- Jarber Jamjar''

The Astral Plane, also known as the Astral Sea, is one of the planes of existence in various models of cosmology.

The Astral Plane is described as a barren place of other-dimensional nothingness extending in all directions. What little solid substance that floats in the bright, gray void is typically chunks of matter broken off from their original plane. The Astral Plane has no gravity but objects do retain their mass so you can throw small items or push off from large objects to move in the weightless environment.

Time in the Astral Plane flows at the same rate on a Prime Material plane but the effects of time are slowed almost to a stop - a thousand years in the Astral Plane feels like only a day to the traveler. Creatures do not go hungry or age while in the Astral Plane. For that reason its mortal inhabitants need to return to the Material Plane in order to have children or to reach adulthood.

Entering the Astral Plane can be accomplished in one of two ways: projecting your astral form into the plane via the astral projection spell, or by physically entering the plane. A party of adventurers recently happened across a portal to the Astral Plane outside the quiet village of Puentlatoani.
