[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9306818, member: 6787503"] In fairness, the post to which I was replying was talking about Barovia which is a demiplane if I recall correctly, in response to which I asked a question regarding characters not being from the setting in which an adventure takes place, but I think 5E (2014) is written with the idea in mind of the Multiverse being the setting, which of course can encompass many smaller settings like Barovia. Although a character is quite unlikely to have journeyed to other planes before becoming an adventurer, the institutions to which their background describes them having ties might reach across planar boundaries. The criminal underworld network within which a criminal has contacts may have associations extending as far as the Lower Planes, for example, to covens of night hags involved in the illicit trade in human souls. Or the high society of noble elites in which a noble is welcome might extend into the Feywild, where the high-born lineage of their family is recognized and guarantees them an audience with the faerie court. Or the military organization with which a soldier served may have allies among the gods, who recognize the soldier's rank as a symbol of devotion to the cause they champion. These all seem like common enough elements of fantasy fiction. [/QUOTE]
