The Divine Sphere
The Divine Sphere, often abbreviated as simply "The Sphere" is the name of the realm from which all divine beings and powers originate. The Sphere contains the homes of the various deities that are worshipped across Wulsten. From Heaven to Hell, Roldkorfell to the Evermists, the Divine Sphere contains all manner of aligned beings and places. Often these places, such as Heaven for example, are referred to as Planes in their own right. This is technically incorrect, as each of these places are places within the Divine Sphere, though due to the distance between them, it is often much more practical to utilize planar traveling level magic in order to traverse between them, using some transitory plane as a between point.
Notably, Gesh is absent from the Divine Sphere, laying instead in a similar space to the Material Plane.
The Planes of Positive and Negative energy lay overlapped with the Divine Sphere in specific places, in the same way that the Ethereal Plane overlaps the Material.
Despite their great power, Deities cannot leave the Divine Sphere. The Sphere is protected completely by a barrier called the Deascuria, known to most as the Godfog. Because of the Godfog, not only can deities not leave the Sphere, they also cannot directly intervene in mortal affairs without a mortal (or lasting enchantment or relic) to channel their power through. Even the servants of Deities, such as Angels or Devils, cannot enter the Material Plane without either being called or utilizing some kind of gateway, which typically must be made by mortals.
