{{Concept|name=Planes and Dimensions|type=Metaphysical Structure|function=Framework of existence within the Continuum Universes|perspective=[[Divines]]}}The concept of '''Planes and Dimensions''' describes the metaphysical architecture of reality within the [[Continuum Universes]]. A '''dimension''' is a fully independent continuum of space, time, and metaphysical law. Each dimension exists "adjacent" to others, separated by boundaries of cosmic law and divine design. Within a single dimension, multiple '''planes''' may exist, layered atop one another in a hierarchy of being. | {{Concept|name=Planes and Dimensions|type=Metaphysical Structure|function=Framework of existence within the Continuum Universes|perspective=[[Divines]]}}The concept of '''Planes and Dimensions''' describes the metaphysical architecture of reality within the [[Continuum Universes]].

Dimensions are sovereign realities, sometimes called "adjacent worlds." Each dimension possesses its own physical constants, laws of magic, and cycles of time. Travel between dimensions is extremely rare and often destabilizing, as evidenced by catastrophic events such as the [[Convergence]]. | Dimensions are sovereign realities, sometimes called "adjacent worlds."
