Editing Transitive Plane

{{dnd-stub}}

A '''Transitive Plane''' is a term introduced in the [[Planescape]] setting for [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. In a nutshell, it refers to a plane that touches upon multiple other planes, allowing it to serve as a sort of super-highway between dimensions. Transitive Planes have traditionally been described as rather bland; they're more a way to get you from point A to point B than a place to explore in their own right.

The iconic trinity of Transitive Planes in D&D are the [[Astral Plane]], the [[Ethereal Plane]], and the [[Plane of Shadow]].

Some would argue that, if only by technicality, [[Sigil]] is effectively a Transitive Plane, seeing as how it's a self-contained [[demiplane]] that is defined by housing portals to every possible location in the multiverse - even in the [[World Axis]], Sigil's still a big deal because it offers precision and expedience; you might be able to sail the Astral Sea to [[Baator]], but a quick stop to Sigil will let you pop up right in Asmodeus' bathroom if you know where to look.

In the [[World Axis]] cosmology, the [[Underdark]] is technically a transitive plane, as one can freely cross back and forth between the [[Prime Material]], [[Feywild]] and [[Shadowfell]] just by walking along the King's Road, to say nothing of the plethora of portals to the [[Elemental Chaos]] and possibly even the [[Far Realm]] in the Deeps.
