Planar travel...so a plane is not truly another world, but a...layered facet of it?

[She closes her eyes a bit to think, calling on her memories. Truly, while she enjoys learning about magic, she is no scholar of it--a Queen hasn't the time to dedicate, unfortunately--and so she has to think hard on what she's heard from people who are. There are theories about these kinds of things, but that nothing like this--something factually known and asserted.

How curious. It's a little exciting, come to think of it.]

I believe I have met the young lady, yes.

[...Who is probably also older than she is but Naeva is electing to ignore numerical age for emotional experience to stay relatively sane.]

Something of the sort. While some are entirely different dimensions, such as the Astral Plane you see before you, some are an overlapping version of the material plane and allow the user to cover great distances quickly - the plane of shadow is one such example.

But they are all still connected to Toril. To my knowledge, no plane can transport one to another world entirely. Even with my powers restored, I cannot return to the true Astral Sea on which this hivemind resides, though I could normally.

Do you have such things in your own world? Or are they unheard of, or unexplored?

[desirestruth]

...It's a difficult question to answer. Certainly, there is a space in reality kept separate, where demons lay in myth, but it would considered quite ill-advised to try and explore the properties of it.

I think, though, the answer is largely that it is unexplored. Much of our world is--the seas became impassible in the last two centuries, and we are not nearly so long lived as your kind--and the beings who would know are of the opinion that mortals should sort it out for themselves.

[She pauses.] And if one of the witches finds out she could make it become true, and cause a headache for everyone in the process.

[psionicmolotov]

That sounds much like the Abyss. Though, to mortals' detriment and the delight of demons, it is far easier both to visit and summon them forth...yours sounds much more well sealed.

Impassable? By magic, or some disaster? [ He sounds genuinely curious. ]

[desirestruth]

Very, very angry dragons. So a bit of both.

[psionicmolotov]

[ He just sighs. Dragons, huh. ]

Dragons are ever a nuisance, no matter the world. An unusual constant, but I cannot say I find myself surprised. [ If he knew about Ishgard's Dragon Problems he would likely bring this up here too, but he doesn't, so it's a moot point. ] Was it an ancient transgression of some kind that brought this about?

[desirestruth]

"Ancient" depends on who's timeline you're working on. [She sighs, and shakes her head.]

Certainly, the Empire has a history of warring with them...but there used to be another kingdom between them and the sea. I believe it's when that king began kidnapping baby dragons to experiment on them in hopes of attaining their immortality that the survivors made the seas impassible.

[She pauses.] I can't really say I blame them.
