[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9123679, member: 52734"] Just remember that Planescape's Planar Wheel is more or less the rattling of planar scholar boneboxes, and may just be another case of Asmodeus giving 'em the peel. Likely no berk's got the dark on the actual configuration of the planes, and for every truth someone spouts, there's three facts that contradict it. Only a bonehead from Mechanus would believe they understand the shape of the multiverse. In layman's terms, more than likely the planes, their connections and the boundries between them are a bit of a mess and more likely bleed together than the tidy neat boxes they're depicted as. What is on the same plane and what is on a different plane may be more of a perception thing and it's likely the planes aren't as infinite as many would make them out to be, with distances and layers being somewhat distorted - like a Star Trek holodeck. Thinking on where you are going, and visualizing where it is on the outer planes is most likely to get you from place to place. Walking around a plane without real intent on where you're going might make one place to another seem infinitely far away or a long ramble through an infinite countryside, which is why they seem infinite (good if you want to "find a place" away from everybody else on the plane). Being determined that some place is "over there" might be the only way to actually get somewhere on a plane - or to another one. There might not be real boundaries between planes other than some mental disconnects that makes one side or the other think there isn't a straight path from place to another. Going from Mount Celestia to the valley of Avernus might only be difficult because it takes a radical shift in thought. Portals and the like are then breaches or Ah! moments that allow quick passage from one to the other. After all, in Planescape belief is everything. [/QUOTE]
