Cosmology

Toril lies at the center of multiple planes. Two of those planes - the Feywild and the Shadowfell - form reflections of Toril, the former enchanted and (to some) intriguing, the latter dark and sinister.

Beneath Toril lies the churning substance and energy of the Elemental Chaos, which holds numerous realms within its reaches. Below the Elemental Chaos is the Abyss, home to demons.

Above Toril lies a silvery void known as the Astral Sea, in which stars part to reveal dominions - homes of the gods. The dominions include the following:

• Arvador (home to the elven and gnome deities)
• Celestia (an enormous mountain bathed in silver light)
• The Cynosure (where the deities meet)
• The Deep Wilds (a primeval woodland)
• The Demonweb Pits (a rolling terrain of spiders)
• The Dismal Caverns (an uncultivated area of powerful monsters)
• Dwarfhome (home to the dwarven deities)
• The Fugue Plane (where the dead go to be judged)
• The Green Fields (a pastoral region)
• The House of Knowledge (a vast repository of learning)
• The Nine Hells (where devils reign)
• Nishrek (a chaotic landscape where the orc gods rule)
• The Supreme Throne (the prison of a mad god)
• The Towers of Night (where darkness reigns supreme)
• Warrior's Rest (where battle ever rages)
