The Concordant Domain of the Outlands, also known as 'Concordant Opposition', was the center of the
GREAT WHEEL of Outer Planes. It connected to all other Outer Planes and was truly neutral in alignment. Other names for this plane were the Outlands, Godsland and Friendly Opposition. Some characteristics of this plane were ascribed to the
WORLD TREE cosmology unaligned planes of
CYNOSURE and the
FUGUE PLANE when that cosmology became popular. Both of these planes survived the
SPELLPLAGUE to float in the
ASTRAL SEA. The Outlands was the exception to many of the rules governing the Outer Planes, the first being its lack of alignment or true neutrality. It was an infinite plane, yet it had a definite center (the Spire with
SIGIL on top). The properties of all the other Outer Planes were mixed together in the Outlands. Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos existed here in all their forms, but they were less able to affect each other due to the neutralizing effect of this plane.
An interesting and quirky point to add here would be that while there was no sun in the Outlands, the plane still had day and night cycles.
