Concordant Opposition The plane of Concordant Opposition was the center of the Great Wheel of Outer Planes . It connected to all other Outer Planes and was truly neutral in alignment . Other names for this plane were the Outlands , Godsland and Friendly Opposition . Some characteristics of this plane were ascribed to the World Tree cosmology unaligned planes of Cynosure and the Fugue Plane when that cosmology became popular . Both of these planes survived the Spellplague to float in the Astral Sea . Concordant Opposition was the exception to many of the rules governing the Outer Planes , the first being its lack of alignment or true neutrality . It was an infinite plane , yet it had a definite center ( the Spire with Sigil on top ) . The properties of all the other Outer Planes were mixed together in Concordant Opposition . Good , Evil , Law , and Chaos existed here in all their forms , but they were less able to affect each other due to the neutralizing effect of this plane . Description . This plane defied description by changing the perception of those who entered , becoming a completely new and yet familiar plane with each visit . Typically on the first visit the plane appeared as a larger version of the visitor ' s homeland . ( A farmer would see vast farmland , a scribe would see a huge library for example . ) Subsequent visits would reveal a different face but demesnes remained in the same spatial location — a city on one visit might be a forest with inhabitable trees on the next — chaotic variation but with the same order and placement . Deities could not fully control what visitors saw and heard in their realms , but they could influence the appearance to represent their proclivities . Concordant Opposition had a neutralizing effect on the randomness of weapons and spells , reducing all healing and damage to the minimum possible while having no effect on strength or magical bonuses . In addition to this , magic itself was gradually neutralized as you approached the center of the plane ( which appeared as a huge mountain , tree , fountain , tornado , tower , column , etc . ) . At about a thousand miles ( 1 , 600 km ) out , high - level spells ceased to function . Every hundred miles ( 160 km ) or so , lower level spells would begin to fail , until finally at two hundred miles ( 320 km ) from the center even first - level spells would not function . This applied to divine magic and the powers of the gods as well . Therefore , this ring around the center of the plane became a meeting place , bazaar , and common ground used by every intelligent species of the Outer Planes including greater deities of differing alignments . Moving in closer to the center , at about one hundred miles ( 160 km ) , all chemical reactions ceased to function and even the gods could not get any closer to the center of the plane . The plane of Concordant Opposition connected to the Astral Plane by color pool s ( which were never found inside a radius of about six hundred miles ( 960 km ) from the center ) , and all the other Outer Planes via portals . The portals were always seen as white disks of various sizes laid into the ground and were found at the 1 , 000 mile ( 1 , 600 km ) mark in a ring around the center of the plane . Each disk could send travelers to any plane they concentrated on . If a group used the portal , the destination was determined by the majority . Beings of a chaotic nature would sometimes be taken to the wrong destination . Inhabitants . Although Concordant Opposition had no known native species or races , members of all intelligent species could be found here meeting in dead magic zones , trading goods , or traveling between planes , often in service to the higher powers . All manner of demon s , devil s , spirit legions , einheriar , planetar s , deva s , and slaad i could be found here , for example .
