The Nexus is a planar portal transport system constructed by a race long since forgotten. It also had the unfortunate side effect of acting as 'cracks' in the planes, trapping those who didn't bind to rift shards or who had problems respawning at their shards. Trapped there for eons, many of the citizens of the factions have gone insane.... Perhaps a breakdown in the magics that sustain the Nexus is what is responsible for the dimensional rifts which are flooding Aetheria with invaders.

The Nexus is connected to each of the faction cities. Each of these seven areas also connect to one other location on Aetheria itself as well, and two planes beyond Aetheria itself. These planes in turn appear to be interconnected in a way not fully understood by Aetheria's sages and loremasters. The entire Nexus itself is constructed in a roughly circular pattern. Its rough form is two planes for each faction arranged around the central column of the Nexus, each plane on the left connecting with the plane above and to the right, the reverse for the other connecting to below and to the left. Access to the Nexus is granted by entering Rift Portals scattered throughout Aetheria and on the planes themselves.


Nexus' can be traveled downwards into other nexus in order to facilitate faster travel, the bottom-most nexus can then wraps around to form a loop. In addition, some planes have connections to other planes at certain locations within.

The planar portal shop spawns at pre-defined locations in many of these planes

See a list of areas by challenge rating if you wish to know which planes might be most-suited to you.

Nexus Plane 1 Plane 2 Entrance
NC Elysium Positive Plane Amazon City: Temple
MA Negative Plane Halls of the Dead Frostdale: Icy Crypt Depths
SL Demonweb Pits Shadow Plane Haddon Mirk: Crypt
RK Dwarf Home Earth Plane Wastes of Angmar: Formian Hive
LA House of Knowledge Fire Plane South Road Tower: Depths
TC Forest Home Water Plane Giant Mountain: Depths
AO Dragon Eyrie Air Plane Frostdale: Shiv'las' Lair


In addition, there are connections between certain pairs of the lesser planes:


There are 3 greater planes that can be traveled to only through lower planes; they are:


Finally, the Abyss and Celestia are joined by an area called the Great Divorce. With this, it's possible to run a Great Circle through all the planes without returning to Aetheria proper:

Great Divorce (Celestia) -> Posi -> NC Nexus -> Ely -> Dragon Eyrie -> AO nexus -> Air -> Forest Home -> TC Nexus -> Water -> Halls of Knowledge -> LA Nexus -> Fire -> Dwarf Home -> RK Nexus -> Earth -> Demonweb Pits -> SL Nexus -> Shadow -> Halls of the Dead -> MA Nexus -> Negative -> Great Divorce (Abyss)
