Cosmological model for the mortal soul
Arrows indicate forms of travel that are naturally available to a mortal soul. The physical body cannot exist in the Ethereal plane or
Principle plane. In the Ethereal Plane the soul usually manifests a depiction of the mortal body it once had.
The weave is accessible in any place, but your soul comes to this world through the weave. It is a soul producing one way street and is the only natural way for a soul to come into existence. Other forms that could create a soul are through deities tapping directly into the Principle plane.
The Elemental planes are intentionally positioned slightly farther to the left than other planes. This is because the left side of this model represents the potential for creation and the Elemental planes are often used for gods as a shortcut to create things. That is why
Pyurethoniam had created the Elemental planes, as a stepping stone for creation before
Asjitéok created the weave. It is also intentional that the Outer planes and the Astral Sea are farthest right. The Outer planes spark the least amount of creativity, only the Astral Sea is more bland than the realm of a deity that controls everything.
