The multiverse of Fantasia consists of multiple interconnected planes of existence, each with unique properties. Seven planes were involved in the binding of Belle, though not all have been fully explored.
The Seven Planes
The binding involved seven planes total:
- Unknown
- Shadowfell
- Material Plane
- Feywild
- Unknown
- Unknown
- Unknown
The Elemental Plane and Orchestral Plane are confirmed to exist, but it is unclear where they stand in the hierarchy.
Each plane received a Chord of Power after Belle’s defeat.
Known Planes
Material Plane
The Prime Material Plane is the “normal” reality, home to humans, dwarves, orcs, and other common races. Contains major locations like Lyric, Paradise City, Ode, and The Grove.
- Time Flow: Baseline (1x normal)
- Status: Subject to Material Plane Riots, partially swapped with Feywild
Feywild
The Realm of Faerie is a parallel plane of wild magic and fae creatures, home to Queen of Hearts.
- Time Flow: 2x faster than Material Plane
- Politics: Four houses based on card suits (Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs)
- Status: Partially swapped with Material Plane
Orchestral Plane
Also known as the Dream Plane or Plane of Law, appears as a giant orchestra hall representing cosmic structure.
- Access: Through visions and dreams
- Structure: Organized like an orchestra with sections for strings, percussion, winds, and conductor
- Significance: Shows the three Forces in their places, represents cosmic order
Shadowfell
The Plane of Shadow is a dark reflection of the Material Plane.
- Geography: Mirrors Material Plane locations
- Exploration: Briefly encountered, not fully explored
Elemental Plane
Realm of Pure Elements, thought to be above Feywild in cosmic hierarchy.
- Inhabitants: Presumably elementals
- Exploration: Not directly explored
Planar Connections
Transposition
A form of interplanar travel where time passes differently between planes by a factor of 2x. For example, 1 second on the Material Plane is 2 seconds in the Feywild.
Methods:
- Knife of Transposition - Maurice’s dagger opens controlled portals
- Instrument Panel - Tinkers Guild device that caused the Transposition Event
- Planar Rips - Natural tears allowing passage between planes
Special Locations
- Tensegrity - Exists in every plane simultaneously
The Binding
Seven planes were involved in binding Belle to create the Cantum cycle. Each plane received a Chord of Power after the binding was complete.
The Orchestral Plane represents the structure of this binding, with different sections corresponding to the three Forces.
Time Differentials
Different planes experience time at different rates:
- Material Plane: Baseline (1x)
- Feywild: 2x faster (2 moons in Feywild = 1 moon on Material)
- Other planes: Unknown
Time differential is visible when viewing one plane from another through portals - voices change pitch and movement appears slowed or accelerated.
