The Material Plane
The Material Plane is the nexus where the philosophical and elemental forces that define the other planes collide in the jumbled existence of mortal life and mundane matter. According to one interpretation of cosmology, there are infinite parallel material planes, each its own separate world. A more recent interpretation is that there is one Material Plane, and all of these worlds exist within it.
The material plane is the base plane and is where the main adventure takes place. The Material Plane is most adventurers' benchmark for planar norms. Therefore, for example, it has normal gravity by definition, and the gravity all other worlds is measured relative to the Material.
Beyond the Material Plane, the various Planes of Existence are realms of myth and Mystery. They’re not simply other worlds, but different qualities of being, formed and governed by spiritual and elemental principles abstracted from the ordinary world.
