‭Astral Plane Information:‬

‭1.‬ T ‭ he Astral Plane is another plane of existence, also known as the astral sea. The‬
‭surface of the Astral Sea is the primary connective tissue between different planes of‬
‭existence. (These planes of existence are also known as manifolds.)‬
‭2.‬ ‭A manifold manifests topology based on proximity, appearing flat from a distance.‬
‭When viewed in this way, manifolds are layered like a stack of parchments.‬
‭3.‬ ‭The standard “true topology” is spherical. (Citation given, but not elaborated upon.)‬
‭4.‬ ‭The book contains mathematical proof that an object approaching a manifold‬
‭perpendicularly will end up in orbit of that manifold once it gets within the “true‬
‭topology proximity” of the manifold.‬
‭5.‬ ‭The astral plane retains its lack of topology, and seamlessly interconnects between‬
‭different Manifolds via Nexus Nodes.‬
‭6.‬ ‭A single plane of existence can (and often does) have multiple nexus nodes; These‬
‭can be used to travel into and out of the astral sea, using it as a shortcut.‬
‭7.‬ ‭The Astral Sea can be treated as a flat (non-euclidean) plane without topology while‬
‭outside of it, but it has Euclidean depth. This is based not on matter or energy, but‬
‭on magical density. With the ‘surface’ of the sea being an artificial differentiation of‬
‭mana.‬
‭8.‬ ‭The perceived surface of the astral sea varies in its height, stability, and definition.‬
‭Much as tides and surface conditions of water change.‬
‭9.‬ ‭Nexus Nodes keep pieces of the Astral Sea localized and stable, but only at a‬
‭surface level. (Going down, the localization and stabilization of a Nexus Node on the‬
‭astral sea decreases in effect, as per the inverse square law.)‬
‭10.‬‭Nodes are not entirely stable. (The book has no citation or further detail on this point,‬
‭and notes this.)‬
‭11.‬‭Reference is made to Dragons and Gith having some form of access to Nodes. (The‬
‭book has no citation or further detail, and does not make note of this. It is unclear if‬
‭this access is a supernatural ability, or learned practice.)‬
‭12.‬‭There are cities, monsters, and ecologies within the astral sea. (Citation is given, but‬
‭not elaborated upon.)‬
‭13.‬‭Time and Space are theoretically comprised of the same continuum controlled by‬
‭fundamental forces, but the conditions of the continuum are not the same on each‬
‭plane of existence. (The book describes this as “The universal settings” and‬
‭theorizes that there are manifolds inaccessible due to their incompatibility with the‬
‭“settings” of the astral sea. The book has citation.)‬
‭14.‬‭The book makes citations to, but does not fully describe the idea of “Surface‬
‭Membranes” on each manifold… and theorizes that changing the “settings” of a‬
‭membrane can be used to artificially separate manifolds that would otherwise be‬
‭compatible.‬
‭15.‬‭It is possible to make accurate models of the “local manifold array” using cartesian‬
‭geometry. (Citation given, dated works.)‬
