[[File:Infinite staircase base TftIS.jpg|thumb|[[Sigil]] isn't the only nexus of the planes.]] The '''Infinite Staircase''' is an alternative means of planar travel if you don't mind getting a little exercise and aren't afraid of heights. The "base" of the stairs is in the palace of Argentil in the divine realm of [[Selune]] on [[Ysgard]], and from there it goes up, well, infinitely. It starts out as a simple spiral staircase but about 1,000 feet up it turns into something out of an MC Escher drawing. On almost every landing of the staircase is a portal leading to one of the planes. The staircase connects to any plane where creativity is being expressed. In practice, this means any plane that has intelligent life, which is basically all of them. The staircase is maintained and guarded by [[lillend]]i and the whole thing is covered in clumps of hanging vines so that the lillendi can use their ''transport via plants'' ability to quickly reach any point on it. The Infinite Staircase debuted simultaneously in the Planescape adventure ''[[Tales from the Infinite Staircase]]'' and the [[Forgotten Realms]](ish) adventure ''[[For Duty & Deity|For Duty Ampersand Deity]]''. It hasn't been heard from since, save for a short reference in the 5e DMG as an alternative route of planar travel. ==Gallery== <gallery> TftIS cover.jpg infinite staircase TftIS.jpg lillend TftIS.jpg glabrezu TftIS.jpg stairway of desolation TftIS.jpg infinite staircase fDaD.png nowhere inn fDaD.png|The Nowhere Inn, a landing turned into an open market.
