- the [six elemental planes](./elemental/index.html) (_air_, _earth_, _fire_, _water_, _law_, and _chaos_) lie at the center, each one serving as a source of that element throughout the vast multiverse;
- the infinite variations of the [material planes](./material/index.html) are next, each slightly (or significantly) different from each other;
- next are the [near planes](./near/index.html), the ones which intersect with the others, such as the Ethereal (which provides passage for the spirits of the dead), the Faewolde (the magic-infused home of the faeries), and the Dreamlands (a series of connected demiplanes where reality itself can be altered with a thought).
- then come the [transcendental planes](./transcendental/index.html), those ruled by the divine powers, including all of the heavens, hells, purgatories, limbos, and eternal drinking halls that the gods create for their devotees (or for those that lose faith);
- finally, there are rumors of "far" planes, existing beyond even the astral's reach - strange realms, far weirder than anything that even the most seasoned planar traveler can comprehend.
