Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 9778581" data-attributes="member: 58172">In AD&D 1e, the "Positive Material" Plane and the "Negative Material" Plane are aspects of the Inner Planes, and inside the ring of Elemental Planes.<img src="https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.enworld.org%2Fmedia%2F1e-cosmology-inner-planes-png.145469%2Ffull&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=f49ef25b82594f5f64fdafe92220073832a8fed38bc70e7a997565ad6fb624d4" alt="1e cosmology inner planes.png | EN World D&D & Tabletop RPG News & Reviews" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />These immanent Positive and Negative correspond to the 5e 2024 material Feywild and Shadowfell.The 1e diagram seems to imply that Air is more positive and Earth is more negative. However, the 5e 2024 map clarifies, each element is equally positive and negative.Similarly, 3e views Positive and Negative as if a kind of fifth and sixth elements, within the Inner Planes. Here from the 3e Manual of the Planes, the as-if six elements orbit around the central circle of the Material Plane that also includes ethereal and illusory ("shadow").[ATTACH=full]419860[/ATTACH]4e remixed Positive, Ethereal, Shadow, and Negative, to form Feywild and Shadowfell. 4e lacked an Ethereal Plane.5e 2014 kept Fey and Shadow, but then also returned the Ethereal Plane. Both Fey and Shadow have the illusion properties of the former Shadow Plane. 5e also added a Positive and Negative around all that exists, including the Wheel of alignment planes.<img src="https://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/great-wheel-map.jpg" alt="https://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/great-wheel-map.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />In sum, the 5e 2024 Feywild includes aspects of Positive and illusion, but is an alternate Material Plane.</blockquote>
