View source for Plane of Life (3.5e Sourcebook)/The Places

The plane of positive energy is infinitely large and for the most part empty. However, there are some locations of interest. Several such points are listed here. There are specially built platforms located at each of these locations to assist would-be-travelers in aiming their falls between these locations; these platforms apply the effect of feather fall to any creature within 30 feet of them. Only trips with a listed distance have these platforms.

If a listed distance between two points is longer than 300 cells, there is a small village about halfway where travelers can stop and rest. These villages have an average population of about 120 people (90% lucerna, 2% half-lucerna, 8% other) and have a gp limit of 5000 gp.

In addition to the platforms, some routes have a large sphere that automatically flies back and forth between the two ends; at each end, the sphere opens for 10 minutes to allow creatures to enter and exit before closing and going back. Each sphere can hold 100 medium creatures; creatures within the sphere are protected from the extreme speeds the sphere takes.

The length of a trip can be determined as follows:

* Normal fall speed: 550 minutes (~9 hours) to travel 100 cells.
* Double normal speed: 275 minutes (~4.5 hours) to travel 100 cells.
* Quadruple normal speed: 137 minutes (~2 hours) to travel 100 cells.
* Octuple normal speed: 68 minutes to travel 100 cells.
* 16 times normal speed: 34 minutes to travel 100 cells.
* Riding a sphere: 17 minutes to travel 100 cells.

The distance between the various locations is as follows (distances marked with an asterisk have a sphere between them):

== The Border Zones ==
The inner planes are next to each other. Despite being endless in size, the planes do have borders between them. The closeness of the planes results in them bleeding into each other. Each of the four elemental planes has a border zone on the plane of positive energy. Each border zone is infinitely large.

The border zones are infinitely far away from other planar locations. To reach them you need to plane shift or teleport there directly. Luckily, there are portals made of crystal that can transport people to and from each border zone, and the location of these portals are listed in the distances table.
