[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9330204, member: 58172"] 4e merged the Shadow Plane and the Ethereal Plane together to then form the Feywild and the Shadowfell. Fey retains the teleportive aspects of the earlier Shadow, while the new Shadow acquires the overlapping ethereal aspects. Both Feywild and Shadowfell emphasize the illusory aspects of the earlier Shadow. 5e separated the Ethereal Plane back out, but kept the Shadowfell and Feywild. The Feywild and Shadowfell are spirit realms, where Fey spirits and Shadow spirits inhabit. These creatures have immaterial bodies, beyond the Material Plane, but tend to be virtually like matter, albeit highly affected by the energy of Positivity or the gloom of Negativity. Implicitly: Fey = Ether + Positivity Ether = Ether + Positivity + Negativity + Elemental Shadow = Ether + Negative These are frequencies of the Ethereal. Officially, the Border Ether overlaps the Material Plane, as ethereal forces within the Material Plane, where ethereal and material can observe each other to some degree. There are Fey Crossings and Shadow Crossings. Inferably, the Fey Crossings are as the same thing as regions of the Border Ether that are actually a "Border Feywild" that the Positivity energizes, forming an area of the Feywild that closely matches the Material Plane. Oppositely, the Shadow Crossings are regions of the Border Ether that the Negativity dampens, forming an area of the Shadowfell that closely matches the Material Plane. The Deep Fey distorts more and more and eventually disconnects completely from the Material Plane, then connects more closely via Positivity with the Celestial ideas of the Astral Plane. Likewise, the Deep Shadow distorts distorts until disconnect, then more via Negativity with the Fiend ideas. The domains of delight are in the Deep Fey, and the domains of dispair in the Deep Shadow. There are also defacto Elemental Crossings that connect certain areas in the Material Plane via ether to the respective Elemental Planes. The earlier concept of "Shadow Fringe" is in 5e the same thing as the Fey Crossings or the Shadow Crossings, depending on presence or absence of Positive energy, and where illusory quasi real phenomena prevail including vibrant Fey phemona or gloomy Shadow phenomona.
