APPENDIX C:THE PLANES OF EXISTENCE\n\nThe best-known worlds in the multiverse are theones that have been published as official campaignsettings for the D&D game over the years—Greyhawk,Blackmoor,Dragonlance,the Forgotten Realms,Mystara,Birthright,Dark Sun,and Eberron,amongothers.Each of these worlds boasts its own cast ofheroic adventurers and scheming villains,its ownancient ruins and forgotten artifacts,its own dungeonsand its own dragons.But if your campaign takes placeon one of these worlds,it belongs to your DM-youmight imagine it as one of thousands of parallel versionsof the world,which might diverge wildly from thepublished version.  \nNCREDIBLYVAST IS THE COSMOS OF THEDUNGEONS&DRAGONS game,which teemswith a multitude of worlds as well as myriadalternate dimensions of reality,called the planesof existence.It encompasses every worldwhere Dungeon Masters run their adventures,all within the relatively mundane realm of theMaterial Plane.Beyond that plane are domains  \nof raw elemental matter and energy,realms of purethought and ethos,the homes of demons and angels,and the dominions of the gods.  \nMany spells and magic items can draw energyfrom these planes,summon the creatures that dwellthere.communicate with their denizens,and allowadventurers to travel there.As your character achievesgreater power and higher levels,you might undertakea quest to rescue a friend from the horrific depths ofthe Abyss,or find yourself hoisting a tankard with thefriendly giants of Ysgard.You might walk on streetsmade of solid fire or test your mettle on a battlefieldwhere the fallen are resurrected with each dawn.  \n# MATERIAL ECHOES          \n\nThe Material Plane is a richly magical place,and itsmagical nature is reflected in the two planes that shareits central place in the multiverse.The Feywild and theShadowfell are parallel dimensions occupying the samecosmological space,so they are often called echo planesor mirror planes to the Material Plane.The worlds andlandscapes of these planes mirror the natural worldof the Material Plane but reflect those features intodifferent forms-more marvelous and magical in theFeywild,distorted and colorless in the ShadowfellWhere a volcano stands in the Material Plane,amountain topped with skyscraper-sized crystals thatglow with internal fire towers in the Feywild,and ajagged rock outcropping resembling a skull marks thespot on the Shadowfell.  \n## THE MATERIAL PLANE\n\nThe Material Plane is the nexus where the philosophicaland elemental forces that define the other planes collidein the jumbled existence of mortal life and mundanematter.All the worlds of D&D exist within the MaterialPlane,making it the starting point for most campaignsand adventures.The rest of the multiverse is defined inrelation to the Material Plane.  \nThe Feywild,also called the Plane of Faerie,is a landof soft lights and wonder,a country of little people withgreat desires,a place of music and death.It is a realmof eternal twilight,with slow lanterns bobbing in thegentle breeze and huge fireflies buzzing through grovesand fields.The sky is alight with the faded colors ofthe setting,or perhaps rising,sun.But,in fact,the sunnever truly sets or rises;it remains stationary,duskyand low in the sky.Away from the settled areas ruled bythe Seelie Court,the land is a tangle of sharp-toothedbrambles and syrupy fens-perfect territory for theUnseelie to hunt their prey.Fey creatures,such as thosebrought to the world by conjure woodland beings andsimilar spells,dwell in the Feywild.  \nThe worlds of the Material Plane are infinitely diverse,for they reflect the creative imagination of the DMswho set their games there,as well as the players whoseheroes adventure there.They include magic-wasteddesert planets and island-dotted water worlds,worldswhere magic combines with advanced technology andothers trapped in an endless Stone Age,worlds wherethe gods walk and places they have abandoned.  \nThe Shadowfel1,also called the Plane of Shadow,isa darkly lighted ","cbCaiiY6ulKGz53S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiY6ulKGz53S","pdf",285294,"English","# APPENDIX C: THE
