[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7956571, member: 14159"] The Plane of Time (a.ka. the Demiplane of Time or Temporal Prime) is the medium by which time travel is possible. It's not a "plane" in the normal sense used by planar travelers (you can't get there through any known Plane Shift spell, for example, although ethereal curtains into it aren't unknown), more of an alternate dimension, a state of existing and perceiving the universe where time exists as a physical dimension, where you can go back or forward in time by physically travelling in a specific direction. It overlaps all places in the multiverse, any place where time flows, the Plane of Time (also known as Temporal Prime) exists. It appears as a vast dark void filled with a thick silver-grey mist, the only features being bright cords criss-crossing the misty void that represent the lives of mortal beings (and the occasional temporal vortex, which is best avoided). By moving to the right place in the plane and re-emerging back to normal space, you can travel through time, but there are a lot of restrictions and hazards to the process, and the spells to do so are exclusive to chronomancers and in many crystal spheres, like Toril, the Gods do NOT look kindly on people trying to change the timeline and use both their avatars and elite clerics to protect the timeline, so time travelers need to proceed with extreme caution on those worlds. (That's going by the nature of the Plane of Time from the Chronomancer supplement, which first discussed the concept and definitely discussed it at the greatest length, but was at least mentioned in passing in some Planescape and Forgotten Realms materials and in the 3e Manual of the Planes) [URL unfurl="true"]https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Demiplane_of_Time[/URL] [/QUOTE]
