Planar Connections

The following planes are directly connected to the elemental plane of air. In order to reach planes that are not on this list a character must traverse a transitive plane, usually through the use of some form of magical spell or device.

Transitive Planes

• Astral Plane: the plane of death is coterminous with the Astral Plane. Doorways exist between the plain of death and the Astral. Spells that utilise the Astral Plane (such as teleport) function normally on the plane of death.
• Region of Dreams: the plane of death is conterminous with the Region of Dreams. Portals of Sleep can be opened by Dreamers at any point in the Plane of Death.

Outer Planes

• Void: the plane of death is coterminous with Void. Void physically touches the border of the plain of death. Any creature capable of physically entering and moving through Void can cross the boundary and enter the plane of death.
