The Silver Heavens

Above and beyond the circles of Æsëa lies an expanse of infinite possibility. The Silver Heavens are a great astral void in which countless fragments of divine or mortal purpose drift-emotions, ideas, and wishes, as well as fears and dark desires. All these thoughts and feeling become real and physical in this place. Most are virtually unnoticeable, of course. An ordinary mortal’s passing fancy vanishes in the Silver Heavens like a raindrop falling into a mighty ocean. But ideas and dreads with power are a different matter. The desires and beliefs shared by all mortals take shape as vast kingdoms, or even whole worlds in the Silver Heavens. These kingdoms and worlds are known as astral dominions-islands of reality adrift within the fundamental expanse of the Silver Heavens. Some are heavenly realms of peace and splendor. Some are fantastic worldscapes filled with marvels and strange perils. Some are dark and tormented places, hellish domains filled with unspeakable evil. And some, just maybe, are believed to be the homes of the gods.
