It's just that there are navigable holes where the epicycles jiggle the planets in their orbit. And, as they are invisible and indestructable, you have to have a crack mathematician who can calculate where they are. Otherwise you go splat and fall all the way back to Earth.And, by atomic, I'm refering to the scheme where atoms have a descrete center (Earth / Nucleus) and then the orbiting masses (Planets / Electrons) traveling in distinct regions (Crystal Shells / Electron Shells). At the moment, I'm thinking of having each planet being a mini-transitive plane or the top layer of a plane. The number of layers is equal to the ideal (noble) number of electrons for that atomic shell.Also, I've seen drawings of multiple Trees of Life where each iteration is farther and farther away from God. The qlippoth get involved here, and I'm not too sure what it / they are. So, by travelling up through the crystal shells and finding the Crown sephiroth, which is the exit point (say, Polaris) to the next iteration of the Tree. That gets you to the next atomic nucleus / Earth / what have you. So, you could eventually sail your way to the Prime Mover if you have the wherewithal.Of course, I could never expect the players to figure this out, so this is mostly for my own amusement. And, I could never fill out all of the detail. It would take far too much time.But, it's fun for me. And by the time my PCs get to the point when they are interested in planar travel, I'll be ready.Edit: Oooh, each plane could be a moon... Hmm...</blockquote>
