Origin

There are three Origins that all characters can select. Below is an explanation of each and examples of where each may come from.

Prime / Primer

Primers are those born in the Prime Material Plane. Most primers are mortal and are usually born on planets or other similar celestial bodies. The Prime Material Plane is also known as the 'Mortal Plane' or 'Mortal World' by some cosmologists.

Worlds of the Prime Material Plane

Worlds of the Prime Material Plane were believed to be encased by powerful crystal structures which were surrounded by an infinite expanse of universal fluid known as phlogiston that connected the plane to the Astral Plane. The individual worlds of the Prime Material Plane were not located near one another, but some were aware of one another to a degree and wizards or other similar beings could move between worlds by magical means.

• Aebrynis (Spelljammer)
• Athas (Dark Sun)
• Avaras (Planescape)
• Krynn (Dragonlance)
• Mystara (DnD 1E / ADND)
• Oerth (Greyhawk)
• Ortho (Planescape / Harmonium)
• Toril (Forgotten Realms)
• Wildspace (Space between worlds / overlap between Material and Astral Plane)

Planar

Planars are those born anywhere outside of the Prime Material Plane. Some planars were immortal, though many were also mortals born in the various planes. Elves and goblins born in the Feywilds, and Gith born in the Astral Planes were examples of this. The rules of existence were different for those created in the planes, meaning that planars could be bound, summoned, or utilized in various ways with magic that Primes were not necessarily as easily bound to.

Feywilds

Also known as the Plane of Faeries was an echo of the Prime Material Plane suffused with potent magic and unrestrained emotional energy. It was the place in which Fey, Elves, and Eldarin originated and from. The Feywild consists of the hopes, dreams, emotions, desires, and vices of the Prime, all in an unrestrained and breathtakingly beautiful environment. Various sections of the Feywild echoed the various worlds of the Prime Material Plane.

• Astrazalian (City of Starlight)
• Brokenstone Vale
• Evermeet (Former Faerunian city now in the Feywilds)
• Feydark (Fey reflection of the Underdark)
• Iliyanbruen
• Mithrendain (The Autumn City)
• Nachtur
• Realm of Malabog
• Seelie Court (Also exists in Arborea)
• Unseelie Court (Also exists in Pandemonium)

Shadowfell

Similar to the Feywilds, the Shadowfell was a dark and twisted reflection of the Prime Material Plane. Also known as the Plane of Shadow, it was a bleak and desolate place full of decay and death. Souls departing for the Fugue Plane often found themselves in the Shadowfell along the way. It was a dimmension lacking color, light, sun, moon, and stars in most places. Light sources only lilluminated half the distance it normally would, flames produced less heat, and dread and lethargy gripped those visitors to the plane.

• Chaulssin
• Chaul'mur'ssin
• Evernight
• Gloomwrought
• Mausoleum of Pain (Domain of Null - connected to Mausoleum of Pain in the Outlands)
• Mulsantir
• Shadow Keep (Domain of Mask)
