Positive and Negative Planes

The Positive and Negative Planes are two general terms used to describe collections of realms outside the Mortal Realm. Positive Planes reside "above" (figuratively speaking) the Mortal Realm, whereas the Negative Planes reside below it, though both have very important roles to play in the universe.

Positive Planes are often described as driven by "good" energy. Through whatever means may control them, they produce the positive elements, such as light and life. Holy planes of existence are often described as residing among the Positive Planes.

Negative Planes are the opposite of Positive Planes, and are driven by "evil" energy. Producing negative elements such as darkness and death, unholy planes of existence are often described as residing among the Negative Planes.

However, despite their differences, the opposition and constant "tug" on the universe that they have is vital to everything that exists. The "clashing of energy" that occurs between the Positive and Negative Planes not only creates an unlimited source of magic that holds the universe together, but also maintains the constant and steady flow of time, a balance between life and death, and a center point between good and evil.
