There is what most Mortals think of as the Outer Plane the part Mortals can perceive, the Border Outer Plane and then thier is the Deeper Outer Plane which is beyond ordinary mortal senses, beyond mundane perception. This is a really neat way of explaing how Plane can appear finite and yet still be infinite, the perceievable part of the Plane is just the tip of an infinately big iceberg. It also helps explain how the dimenesons of the plane can change and its why its so morphigenic. The Energy Plane does not appear to be divided into a more habitable region and a less habitable one, but very little is given on these Planes, just basically they're the source of Life and Radiant Energy in the Positive Case and Death, Necrotic Energy, and Undead in the Negative Case. The Shadowfell and Feywild are not only not Border Regions of these Planes, but far away from them.  If they do have Border Regions they aren't mentioned. I hope they do and get detailed in the Manual of the Planes. Also I suspect Fiendish and Celestial Spirits that end up Familiars, Paladin Mounts, and other Spirit Forns, are actual drwn and forced into percievable form from the normally unpercievable parts of the Outer Planes. Just athought.</blockquote>
