[QUOTE="Yalius, post: 3269746, member: 18855"] OK, visualize this. Your prime plane is 3 dimensions, L, W, H, all orthogonal to each other. Same for the local cosmology; Heaven, hell, various elemental planes are aspects of that plane, just overlayed on top of it, intersecting every point at a 1:1 correspondence; heaven, hell, all the elemental planes share a geography, just in different aspects. Movement between the "local planes" involves whatever method of Plane Shifting or Greater Teleport you prefer. Orthogonal to those 3 standard directions, you have your transitive plane. You get there by turning at a "right angle" to L, W, and H; for such a transition, you need a special means, a special way of moving; you can travel within that transitive plane, as if you were in arcane space. The further you get into the transitive plane, the further afield you have traveled from your starting plane. As you travel, you see the stars actually swimming, moving, so you can navigate which plane you're traveling to by watching how the stars are arranged. ("Oh, you're looking for the Plane of Burnt Cinders? Watch the constellation of the Ewe, halfway before she becomes the Ogre, you're at the Cinder.") You can have some fun with "transitive plane" storms that make navigation harder, or "burn out" your transition gear, leaving you stranded at the plane you're closest to, for as long as the DM decides. From the transitive plane, you see the bordering planes as worlds, but to enter and exit them, you have to transit a doorway which could be a physical portal, a tenuous barrier, or just another way of turning. The portals can have any relationship to the local geography you want. You can also take a shortcut by just assuming that the reason you see the different planes and aspects as spheres is because one of the dimensions (L, W, H), in order to make way for the alternate dimension, has to curl up into a ball, changing the perspective that you see of the local planes.
