[QUOTE="Alexemplar, post: 7260248, member: 6874182"] [MENTION=58172]Yaarel[/MENTION] I feel pretty much the same about the Ethereal being the spirit world. That's why it's pretty much the *only* true plane in my homebrew setting. It's coterminous with the material plane and everything else exists as a kind of demiplane that's more a state of being/mind tied to a physical place. For example, in order to reach the Shadowfell, you need to go to a place full of death and decay like the site of a bloody battle, graveyard, or swamp, then go into the Ethereal and look around in the mists until you come to the part of the Shadowfell that corresponds with the material site. A deity's domain can usually be reaches by going to the site of their largest holy place and entering the Ethereal plane there. The accesibility/size/grandeur and the amount of power they have is totally dependent on how widespread their worship is so gods of big universal concepts have big domains that cover thousands of square miles and can be accessed from much of the world (with the right state of mind) while minor local spirits have a little demiplane retreat that can only be accessed from their sacred grove that must be accessed via very specific means.
