	Metaphysics is the study of first principles, including abstract concepts such as existence, space, and time. Cosmogony is the study of how the Gods, the universe, and the world came into existence. Taken together, these two fields of Scholastics provide a framework for understanding reality and how we can relate to and interact with, the Gods.

	There are '''seven planes of existence''' (sometimes called ‘dimensions’), which are frames of reference within with things exist. The planes are connected in varying degrees.

	Parallel to the Prime, is the curious '''Ethereal Plane'''. It touches every point on the Prime, so is in some sense “parallel” to the Prime, or a strange “non-physical alternate version” of the Prime. It is possible to move in to and out of the Ethereal, in a process called “translation”. Time flows slower in the Ethereal, and because of the non-physicality of the Plane, directions such as up/down are experienced differently. Solid obstacles on the Prime, such as walls, offer no impediment to a traveller in the Ethereal. Powerful mages and clerics use the Ethereal as an alternate means of transport across the Prime Material.		Parallel to the Prime, is the curious '''Ethereal Plane'''.

	The '''Elemental Plane''' is a region of raw energy, an undifferentiated wellspring of primary force. Depending on how this plane is connected to the Prime Material, the energy manifests in different “flavours”: fire, water, mud, etc. There are '''eight stable forms of interaction''', manifesting the well-known elements. The function of the Elemental Plane is unknown. Some speculate it is merely a container for the energies left over after the material universe was created. Others think that it sustains the Prime Material.		The '''Elemental Plane''' is a region of raw energy, an undifferentiated wellspring of primary force.

	As to the origins of the Gods, the Seven are outside the flow of time, so questions about their age, or their first actions, are meaningless — precisely because they are timeless.

There are '''seven planes of existence''' (sometimes called ‘dimensions’), which are frames of reference within with things exist. The planes are connected in varying degrees.

			The Plane of Divinity is home to the Seven. The Plane of Life is where those who are still to be born, exist. The Plane of Afterlife is where the deceased exist. The Prime Material Plane is home to the living; it is a space-time framework containing all matter, energy, and life. The Ethereal Plane is co-planer with the Prime Material and is useful for transportation within the Prime Material. The Astral Plane can be used to reach other planes of existence through hyper-dimensional travel. The Elemental Plane is a differentially-convoluted hyper-surface, acting a reservoir of power.

	The adjacent diagram attempts to illustrate these planes. The Gods’ home plane is the '''Plane of Divinity''', which is connected to all the other planes. The '''Prime Material''' is the home plane of living things and all the inanimate things: in short, the world (and possibly other worlds). Living things are native to the Prime Material.
