The Ethereal Plane, also called The Spirit Plane, is a layer of existence that overlaps Quelmar and bleeds out into the Astral Plane, connecting the afterlife to the material plane.
About[edit | edit source]
The Ethereal Plane could be accessed from the Material Plane without magic by traveling to the far reaches of Quelmar's oceans. Traveling north of Osugbo or south of Pteris, for instance, would eventually lead sailors to a great fog. Once entered, the ship would exist solely in the ethereal plane, and travel back to Quelmar would require magic, as attempts to travel back may bring them home, only to find that they exist in this ghostly dimension, able to view the material, but not interaction.
The name Spirit Plane for the Ethereal originated out of Troverth but would spread with humans all over the realm, eventually becoming the de-facto name for the plane by the CR era.
