 ====== Planes ======
+The planarverse is made up of a multitude of different worlds, or planes, with [[ulos|Ulos]] being the "hub world" of them all. Each plane has its own distinct characteristics. They are home to unusual and powerful [[creatures|creatures]] and [[deities|gods]].
+Travel between planes is possible, though not advised. Dangers of all sorts lurk in the different planes.
+>//I accidentally brought back a stowaway. A strange creature - like a living pool of blackened pudding - attached itself to my bag.// - Gulpax's Journal (GS-Journal)
+Those brave (or foolish) enough to attempt traveling between planes can access them through rifts. Powerful artifacts from the various planes will open rifts to their home when not kept in a [[durgolium|durgolium]] container. Depending on who holds these artifacts can be a cause for great concern.
+>//"King Taron has somehow managed to open a rift to Affril over his own palace, may the gods save us.”// - [[kaiika|Kaiika]] Priestess - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)
+>//"Taron wants to use Azema’s power to conquer all of Ulos. Even so, it’s our job to serve him, trusting that the gods will see us through in the end.”// - [[mindle|Mindle]] - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)
+>//"Your king has opened a rift in the veil that separates Ulos from the planarverse. One of its tendrils descended, so I had to stop time and secure it. If we don’t stabilize the rift, it will tear Sabek apart, just like they did in the Dragul lands.”// - [[sleecrath|Sleecrath]] - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

-====== Affril: Plane of Knowledge ======
-An interplanar world of [[purplestone|purplestone]] archways surrounded by the gray sea where the [[klynoks|Klynoks]] and [[giant_bat|Giant Bats]] hail. [[affril|Affril]] is covered by a massive gray sea with pockets of huge [[purplestone|purplestone]] arches and the origin of [[purplestone|purplestone]]. It is also the home of the [[klynoks|Klynoks]] and [[grayfolk|Grayfolk]]. Night sky features two red moons.
-==== Flavor Text from Cartographers Heroes Map Pack 2: ====
-"When a rift opened and strange creatures rode through on their [[giant_bat|bat-like steeds]], you knew you’d only have one chance to map this [[planes|plane]]. You leapt through, finding yourself standing on a network of [[purplestone|purplestone]] archways, rising from a vast, gray sea. Now, you pull out your level and compass and begin what surely is the greatest challenge of your career as a royal cartographer."
-As the chest pops open, the earth quakes and the sky crackles with strange purple energy. For a moment, you hear the screech of [[giant_bat|bats]], and you smell a briny sea. - Battle at [[blacklake|Blacklake]] (RPA-ADV1)
-[[Affril|More Info]]

-====== Hoshek: Plane of Life ======
-Wild growth surrounds you everywhere, and several layers of surging moss and grasses shift under your feet. A brilliant sun shines over the world, filling you with vitality. - Eye of Ulos (RPA-ADV4)
-[[Hoshek|More Info]]
-----
-====== Iktel: Plane of Frost ======
-Harsh, frigid environment. Temperatures are so consistently below freezing that water in its liquid form is a foreign concept. Home to the [[ice_wyrm|ice wyrm]] and to a strange “orange-skinned creature… with several roaming eyestalks” who can only survive in the cold (RPA ADV-6).
-[[iktel|More Info]]

-====== Mikto: Plane of Secrets ======
-A plane containing, among other things, a collection of mysterious objects. The glass cases are defended by strange spheres that flash with multicolored light.
-==== Description from Roll Player Adventures - Gate at Brizoor Waal: ====
-The light reveals a vast room filled with glass cases of various sizes, each containing a unique specimen. The cases nearest to you contain books and papers. A few aisles away, you can see cases of weapons and, beyond that, wild beasts who appear to be frozen in some form of stasis.
-[[mikto|More Info]]
-----
-====== Moti: Plane of Death ======
-Unless they are prevented from doing so, spirits from Ulos travel to Moti after their mortal bodies expire. Home to the [[ghost-eater|Ghost-Eaters]] and other servants of death.
-==== Description from Roll Player Adventures - Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest: ====
-“And now, suddenly, a rift to Moti opens right here? Death’s own servants have come to collect these wayward spirits. What can it mean?” - [[zerith|Zerith]]
