The Astral Plane

The Astral Plane lays atop and between the other planes, slightly removed. It possesses the same geography, appearance, and people - a shadow reflecting the plane's material existence. An exception for the need of a particular Junction, the Astral Plane is inhabited by ghosts and spirits that can be perceived in the Material Plane by people with spiritual or psychic talents - or use their own spiritual power to affect the Material Plane in turn. While the Astral Plane is commonly accessed from and affects the Material Plane, the Mysts and Elemental planes cast similar shadows that can be perceived and navigated in the same way. Despite the vastly different physical and magical makeup of these planes, the Astral shadows all follow similar rules and are considered to be the same plane reflecting multiple places.
