Planes of Existence

## **EDITING**

The Planes of Existence are the fundamental building blocks of where all life of Dissaria comes from, Dissaria specifically refers to the whole setting, but in universe is the name of the material plane.

Each Plane of Existence is home to different creatures, climates and environments, each with their own civilizations, history and cultures. Time and Space act differently on different planes of existence, so traversing them is very hard to do, and many remain almost completely unexplored in the modern day.

## **Material Plane**

The Material Plane is the place in which most of Dissaria is located, this includes where most stories and adventures take place, it is home to most of the playable races. The Material Realm is home to most races and a large variety of beings from all sorts of planes, it is a melting pot of all sorts of magic, creatures and materials. It is home to the continents, seas and nations of the world.

It was named the Material Plane by Scholars during the Age of Expansion, who discovered that the Material Plane is the only place that acts the way it does, with calculable laws of time, space and force, while all other planes possess sort of veil around them, which makes them constantly shift and change, making them incalculable. Scholars also discovered that the material plane seems to act as an anchor for all other planes, with all planes surrounding the material plane, with the further away you travel from the material plane, the less sense the laws of space, time and force make.

### The Underdark

The Underdark is the vast expansive cave networks and giant caverns rivaling the size of continents that are located underneath the material realm. The Underdark is home to a large variety of unique flora and fauna only found here, they have all adapted to a living deep underground and in a place with no sunlight, this created home for many bioluminescent beings to develop.

The **Underdark** is a vast underground environment in the world of Exandria on *Critical Role*, similar to the Underdark featured in many other RPG campaigns. A dark and hostile place, the Underdark is almost a world unto itself, with civilizations, monsters, politics, economies, and threats that may interact only sporadically or indirectly with the surface world. Notably, the Underdark has significant connections to the Far Realm, from which many aberrations emerge.

**Demi-planes**

* Demi-planes exist wherever one can be created and are bound to the point, these planes exist connected to the Astral Sea using the Ethereal Mist as a gateway, using its creation magic to hold this plane in existence. They’re so small that finding one in the Astral would be virtually impossible, but it has happened, if one wishes to find a demi-plane entrance, the Astral is one option.
