[QUOTE="med stud, post: 4168028, member: 1211"] I imagine the Astral Sea as a regular "sea", with invisible currents you have to follow if you are not to get lost. Sometimes the Astral Sea leads straight up or down, you then sail into the "wall" or "gulf", when you get there it will seem like a straight sea again, with a gulf or wall behind you. In this, the planes exist, visible for all. You can only access the planes by utilizing those currents. Below the Astral Sea is the World; the Astral Sea is infinitly bigger than the Astral Sea, yet the World is always below. Under the World is the Elemental Chaos; you can access there by utilizing magic, either the arcane or divine sort or you can use certain rituals that unlocks portals made at the World's creation. When going down to the Elemental Chaos, you don't see the World above you; you are below, both in a practical and metaphysical sense, but you will entirely subsumed in it. The way out of the Elemental Chaos is up, but what is "up" is very hard to find out on your own. Most people need guides, magic, special instruments or, yet again, knowledge of the ways to unlock the gates between the World and the Elemental Chaos. The Abyss is always down at the center of the Elemental Chaos, no matter from where in the world you entered. When summoning something (unless this is contradicted by the rules), you have to await the right alignment of the stars; the stars are all astral domains and their positions relative to each others mark when certain paths are open. When such a path is open, it's possible to call something, either from below or from above. The Nine Hells are, of course, the Morning Star ;). All this is confusing and only exist in four dimensions to a degree. Most mortals can't handle the dimensions of the Astral Sea or the Elemental Chaos. They can act in it's immediate surroundings, but they can't navigate in it. Some people learn, they are the captains of the Astral ships. [/QUOTE]
