He chuckled, "You're welcome. Now, as for the Prime Material... they are
the worlds where mortal men are born. Planets, stars: the worlds of Krynn,
Oerth, Khavala, Earendor. From these worlds men think and feel, love and
hate. Their beliefs, good and evil, law and chaos, are the stuff that flow
through the Astral and form the Outer Planes, just as the Inner Planes
provide the substance for the Prime. You want to know of the Prime, visit it.
The boundless worlds of that plane have an infinite variety, as do the planes,
but I cannot encapsulate them as I have here. Suffice it to say they are the
birth of the Outer Planes, the children of the Inner, and they hold limitless

voids of Gehenna. There is no edge to the multiverse, and so there is no
center. The third rule is the Unity of Rings: All things come in rings - rings
have no beginning and no end: The Great Ring of the Outer Planes, the ring
of Sigil's form, the ring of the elemental planes - even the powers think in
rings, circles upon circles upon circles."
He formed his fingers into rings, gesturing to push his point. Suddenly aware
of the relative silence, the lack of chattering bone, I looked around for
Morte. He was nowhere to be found.
I merely leaned back and tapped my heel nervously as Candrian continued.
"The Outer Planes are created of and by belief and thought and faith. They
take their imagined form from the Prime Material Plane, shaped into forms
