The Planes of Existence: A Never-Ending Spiral of Creation and Destruction

In this boundless universe, the machinery of existence is fuelled by a fount of creation, a stream of life, and a bottomless well of terminal destruction.

The universe in question contains three planes; Ethereal, Terrestrial, and Abyssal.

The Ethereal Plane is the source of all life, spirits and magical energy, and is the dwelling place of gods who concern themselves with the practices of creation. It is an endless expanse, the boundaries of which are only defined by strength of it's dwellers.

The Abyssal Plane is the final destination of those spirits, the force that draws magical energy from the Ethereal Plane, and is the dwelling of gods who concern themselves with destruction. It is a finite place that expands and contracts, pulsing with life and death.

The Terrestrial Plane is the intersection between the two. The proving ground of spirits given form, the land that spirits are born into and dies out of, and is the dwelling of gods who concern themselves with the intersection of the other two. It is a place which scales to the depths of it's contents, an endless well that narrows the deeper you go.

The concepts of good and evil are intrinsically imaginary, constructs assembled by the mind. They are meaningless within the scope of nature alone. But curiously; such artificial constructs are born from the bond of natural form, and forceful will of spirit.

The universe runs on this design, the energy that flows from the Ethereal Plane towards the Terrestrial Plane acting as the cause of magic.
