In this great void, the starlike light of the Positive Energy Plane radiations onto the remains of the titan, bringing new souls, life, and magic. The prime material plane and known worlds are contained within the skull of the unfathomably large being. The outer surface of the skull, the region closest to the Positive Planes, is the Faerie (aka the Feywild), a mirror of the skull itself but infused with more life and magic. The hollow interior of the skull is the Shadow World (aka the Shadowfell), shaded from positive energy and populated by the souls of the recently dead. Deep inside the skull, in the marrow of every world, is the Dreamlands, where sleeping minds venture. (The Dreamlands is, of course, pulled from the Plane of Dreams, but has a bit more inspiration from Lovecraft's Dreamlands.)[ATTACH]97708[/ATTACH]The spine of the titan is a torrent of elemental forces, the Elemental Chaos, with each limb focused on a single element: Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water. Extending from the chaos of the spine is the ribcage, which comprises the outer planes. The upper ribs are chaotic, having a stronger tie to the spine. The lower ribs are more lawful. The right side of the ribs—the Dexter Planes—contain the homes of good gods, while the left half—the Sinister Planes—houses the Abyss and Hells. In the middle is the titan's sternum, which is the neutral plane of Concordial Opposition. A bone spur juts out from this realm, inward towards the "heart" of the giant, atop which is the city of Sigil. [ATTACH]97709[/ATTACH]The souls of the dead pass from the world, through the Shadow World, which is often known as "the underworld", and form a river of souls that runs down the skeleton's neck like great arteries to where its heart was. From there, they pass to the various Outer Planes, flowing as the many branches of the River Styx, depositing souls in the afterlife best suiting their character and deeds.</blockquote>
