Astral Sea

The Astral Plane, usually called the Astral Sea, or just Space, is a seemingly infinite void filled with the celestial bodies of stars, planets, and moons. The Astral Sea is the home of origin for Aberrations, and it is an exceptionally dangerous and difficult environment to traverse.

The Astral Plane lies between all the other Planes of Existence, connecting them. The Astral Plane is also where Exorsia and it's moons reside, floating within the void and orbiting the star Helios. The Astral Plane is largely considered to be the greater Universe, with it theorised that all of creation resides within the Astral Sea.

There is no air or atmosphere within the Astral Sea, meaning that most creatures can not survive in the Plane without the aid of Magic, and the effects of radiation are much more potent. The effects of Gravity are also much weaker in the Astral Sea than on the Planes, meaning that creatures generally float unless effected by a gravitational force or by being propelled by motion.

Astral Colonies

During the Age of Arcanum, many of the Mageocracies used their advance Magic to send exploratory vessels and expeditions into the Astral Sea where they are said to have established colonies among the distant stars and moons.

Reports suggest that these colonies encountered many other species that resided among the stars, including the Astral Elves and the Gith.

But during The Fall of Arcanum these space colonies were destroyed, with no records of any survivors. In addition, due to The Divine Gate and the limiting of Magic, far travel within the Astral Sea is no longer possible.
