The Ethereal plane is my favorite, but then, the main experiences of knowledgeable and traditional arcanists speak of an Ethereal plane akin to Moorcock's depiction of limbo, where you can sail with ethereal ships created by special rituals and travel between the planes. These same spellcasters and scholars theorize that Astral and Ethereal planes are nearly the same thing. The Ether would represent a sort of a physical manifestation of the Astral, in the sense that Etherealness is bound to form through its special connection or "proximity" to the Material plane. The farther away you move into the Ethereal, the more you leave the bonds of form and travel to a plane of archetypes and ideas, and what lies between them, which is, in substance, the Astral itself, or what this concept is rather supposed to represent. But then, nobody in the Seven Spires is even sure this main stream theory is true, even if it certainly explain most of the experiences of plane travellers and spellcasters who have had contacts with the Multiverse.As for the plane of shadow, I use it in my campaign, but it is still a deep mystery waiting to be fully understood. The theories abound as to its nature and links with the Astral, the Ethereal, and all of their relations toward the Deep, a force that is thought to be the origin of sentience and psionic powers, part of a spiritual Triad with the Green and the Dark (as per Arcana Unearthed/Evolved).</blockquote>
