@frostwolf okay soooo. D&D’s universe has afterlives, rooted in the nine alignments you’ve seen in memes, which happen to be in alternate dimensions. Not all the Outer Planes are someone’s afterlife but they’re all themed (there are elemental planes for fire, water, air and earth), they don’t need to follow normal physics (everything in the elemental plane of water IS water or some sort of aquatic creature), and they can have multiple layers rather than multiple planets.

@frostwolf the Beastlands is a hugely natural good outer plane which has native fauna and flora, but also serves as an afterlife for really nature oriented types. It has three layers which aren’t ecotypes but are instead times of day (one’s perpetual midday, one’s perpetual night, one’s perpetually crepuscular). But animals and plants need dark cycles, so how does that work? Outside of magic, one possibility is there could be huge migrations of animals between the layers.

@frostwolf the reason this came up last night is watching videos about D&D on YouTube (fun while too tired to draw, gives ideas for stuff to draw) and I hadn’t previously known about the eternal-day/night/twilight layers!

@Leucrotta huhhh neat!
