The Astrinium Plane is a place of adventure and danger which is home to the Thousand Islands, each one a land of unique life and terrain; some quiet places where people carry out peaceful lives, while others are chaotic lands filled with monsters and more mysterious curiosities which lure in explorers. For many thousands of years, the people of other worlds have ventured into the Astrinium Plane seeking fame, fortune, power or simply to gain answers about the questions of existence and satiate their inquisitiveness.
The plane sits underneath a nexus point between different universes and the realms that surround them; it has sections of space where life can survive including the Thousand Islands and other similar locations. The magical fuel known as ‘magulate’ allows people to traverse the void between places - each departing alchemy ship a work of art with their crews eager to visit exotic lands and head into adventure.
The raw magical energies of other worlds leak into the Astrinium Plane and are then attracted by the properties of the island’s soils and subterranean materials, infusing them, and these transform the raw magical energies into different forms of magic. This new magic, in turn, influenced the evolution of magical life found on the islands floating among the clouds of pure psychic energy that fill the void of the Astrinium Plane. Due to the many portals that link the Astrinium Plane to other worlds, it is possible to see the influence of countless people and civilisations upon the inhabitants of the plane as well as travellers of all kinds entering the realm for whatever goals they seek to accomplish.
While the Thousand Islands and other locations in the Astrinium Plane have seen huge levels of expansion and population increase over the centuries, much of the realm lies shrouded in secrecy - even to local people - and so, boarding alchemy ships, many heroes and explorers delve into the almost endless expanse.
The Astrinium Plane is a TTRPG system neutral setting book with optional content compatible with ‘Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition’ (D&D 5e) and ‘Tales of the Valiant’ (TotV) including an original 5e class: the “Astral Blacksmith” - lovingly crafted with new rules and mechanics that set it aside from other 5e and TotV classes. Sub-classes for existing 5e classes are also available and are carefully considered to be unique and enjoyable for those seeking something different to bring to the table."
