In the world of the 4th Edition D&D® game, the Plane Above is that and more—it also serves as the place where many of the deities of the D&D multiverse reside. ) This new view of the Astral Sea includes other aspects that haven’t been part of the cosmology before, such as the border islands that surround the divine dominions. Suffice it to say that the amount of interesting territory and beings that characters might interact with in the Plane Above has been expanded. Those border islands are covered in full later in this book along with the dominions themselves. Chapter 1, however, is designed to help you get the most out of this book for your campaign. The chapter presents seven campaign themes that weave together the rest of the elements of this book. These themes range from the predictable (Fight the Gods of Evil) to the unexpected (Overcome Heaven’s Flaws) to the world-shaking (Adventure into Myth). Sample file “Traveling the Astral Sea” at the end of Chapter 1 revisits the earlier discussion of geography, providing mechanics for navigation, vessels, and astral hazards. The following sections of this chapter create a framework for adventures on the Astral Sea. ✦ The Astral Sea: The Plane Above has many facets to its nature and its history, any of which can come into play. This summary highlights each of those facets. ✦ Geography: Essential physical concepts that play into all the areas the Astral Sea encompasses. ✦ Campaign Themes: Seven diverse approaches to running a campaign that uses the Plane Above. Most of the themes are complementary rather than exclusive, meaning that you can incorpo- rate elements from more than one to create a unique campaign experience. ✦ Traveling the Astral Sea: How to move around in the Astral Sea, and a look at some.

  • Welcome to the Great Ring
    Planescape Campaign Setting Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction Project Managers Ken Marable Gabriel Sorrel Editors Gabriel Sorrel Sarah Hood Writers Gabriel Sorrel Sarah Hood Layout Sarah Hood 1 There hardly seem any words capable of expressing the years of hard work and devotion that brings this book to you today, so I will simply begin with “Welcome to the planes”. Let this book be your doorway and guide to the multiverse, a place of untold mysteries, wonders the likes of which are only spoken of in legend, and adventurers that take you from the lowest depths of Hell to the highest reaches of Heaven. Here in you will leave behind the confines and trappings of a single world in order to embrace the potential of infinity and the ability to travel Introduction wherever you please. All roads lie open to planewalkers brave enough to explore the multiverse, and soon you will be facing wonders no ordinary adventure could encompass. Consider this a step forward in your gaming development as well, for here we look beyond tales of simple dungeon crawling to the concepts and forces that move worlds, make gods, and give each of us something to live for. The struggles that define existence and bring opposing worlds together will be laid out before you so that you may choose how to shape conflicts that touch millions of lives. Even when the line between good and evil, lawful and chaotic, is as clear as the boundaries between neighboring planes, nothing is black and white, with dark tyrants and benevolent kings joining forces to stop the spread of anarchy, or noble and peasant sitting together in the same hall to discuss shared philosophy.

    The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner . and you are invited. A dark shape emerges from the shadow of Castle Ravenloft. A fl ash of lightning reveals the sneering countenance of Count Strahd von Zarovich. His eyes burn with eternal hunger and contempt for life. From a narrow balcony, he peers out into the drizzling twilight at the few sad lights of the village below and mutters a single name: “Ireena . .” The Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign adventure updates the original 1st Edition Ravenloft® module, retaining the Gothic fl avor and familiar elements while expanding and reimagining some of the locations to create a deeper, richer adventure experience. This campaign adventure is designed for characters of levels 6–10 and features a new, easy-to-use combat encounter format.
