However, the outer planes are not the afterlife. Instead each world in the Prime Material also contains their own afterlife tailored to the world which are varied as per the planar traits in the original 1E Manuel of Planes. All the other stuff floating around the PM is the same, although the entire Fey Wild things is new to me and I'm still working on dealing with it. The Outer Planes are just that, other planes separate and under different rules than the Prime Material and Inner Planes. They are not the afterlife, but just interferers and colonizers of the PM and IPs. Beyond them is Chaos, not even in a Law versus Chaos sort of way, just ineffable and beyond the understanding of even the Outer Planes. Yet the Chaos seeks to corrupt and absorb not just the PM and IPs but also the OPs in ways and for reasons that just can't be easily understood.</p></blockquote><p></p>
