Plane

From NexusWiki

The term plane refers to one of several planes of existence - areas of physical space which comprise the greater Nexus. A single plane may be aligned or neutral by its very nature.

Characters may travel between the different planes through the use of Portals. Transferring between planes nearly always incurs a cost in Magic Points (though there exist some powers, such as Stepping of the World Gate, that offset this cost).

If a plane is aligned, characters who are considered non-native will suffer damage as they move through it. If a plane is non-aligned, movement does not cause pain or damage.

[edit] Known Planes

There are five planes that are open to exploration by players. They are:

• Valhalla, the "prime" plane, upon which exists the Saint Germaine Islands (the Sewers are considered part of Valhalla). Valhalla is unaligned.
• Stygia, the plane aligned to Evil, home to demonkind. Stygia is a land of frozen wastes, punctuated by deep fire pits. The Stygian Warrens are a cramped, dark, cavernous realm beneath Stygia.
• Paradise, the plane aligned to Good, home to angelkind. Paradise is an arboreal world, filled with grasslands and forests. The Nimbus, the holiest of holy places, is located among the clouds above Paradise.
• Purgatorio, an endless void of nothingness in which swirl hundreds of rock "islands". Purgatorio is unaligned.
• Nifleheim, the Land of the Dead - a vast, dusty, dry realm afloat in the Void. Nifleheim is morally unaligned, but is conceptually aligned to Death.
