[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9438753, member: 58172"] In the 2024 Players Handbook, the intro of the Multiverse appendix mentions "Positive Plane" and the "Negative Plane" by name. But these seem more like cosmic principles that orient the multiverse, rather than "planes" that one can actually visit. Positivity would be infinite energy without any finite boundaries, and Negativity would be absolute nothing. By definition it would be impossible for a finite being to exist in either plane. Existence becomes possible when finite glimpses of energy shine and move within the vacuum − a big bang evolving into molecules − namely, the Material Plane. Meanwhile in 2024, the Fey and Shadow seem more like the Positive Material Plane and Negative Material Plane of the old school and 3e Inner Planes. However, in my understanding, there is only one Material Plane, and the Fey and Shadow are viewing and overlapping the same Material Plane, albeit from different frequencies of Positive energy or Negative dampening. The same city that is the Material Plane, might appear heightenedly beautiful and overflowing with life from within the Fey energy, or oppositely appear as a ghostly ruin from within the Shadow gloom. But it is the same city that factually exists within the Material Plane. (In the Lord of the Rings movies, the Ring translates the wearer into the overlapping D&D Shadow perspective.) [/QUOTE]
