The outer planes are what people usually refer to when they discuss the afterlife. These planes are also where most gods call home. There are sixteen such planes, all of which differ wildly from each other, but they do have a few things in common. As a general rule, outer planes are highly idealized. All aspects of culture tend to revolve around only a few simple tenets, and the terrain itself is adapted to match. In some outer planes, even the very laws of the universe are altered in order to better serve that which the plane is dedicated to. Unlike the Inner Planes, there is usually very little debate about the way things should be done. For example, residents of Celestia are universally in favor of systems which provide for the needs of the many before the needs of the few, but residents of The nine hells prefer a "dog eat dog" existence, where everyone is expected to either stand on their own two feet or die trying. The outer planes have significantly less varied landscapes than can be found on the Inner Planes, and appear to be crafted entirely to serve the residents. Elysium, for example, consists entirely of idyllic fields and serene landscapes. More aggressive geological features, such as rocky crags, caverns, and volcanoes are nowhere to be found.
