	It goes without saying that the majority of locations worth taking notice of in the Astral Sea are Dominions; places either actively ruled by the gods, or created by them and then lost during wars with each other, the Primordials, and demons. But there are other areas of note; many races, particularly the couatl, githyanki, and maruts, build domiciles of their own without the need for divine intervention.

	''Astral Travelers'' are, obviously, any beings who have reason to be roaming around the Astral. This term covers anything from planar adventurers to divine servitors to Exalted and Outsiders; it just serves as a catch-all for anybody either living a nomad's lifestyle in the Astral Sea or using it as a way to get from place to another.

			''[[Bladeling]]s'' are a nomadic race of razor-skinned humanoid mercenaries, created by the god [[Bane]] from his loyal human servants in the [[Dawn War]] only for them to turn their backs on him when he abandoned them in favor of the [[goblinoid]]s. They are particularly common in [[Sigil]], whose "blade and spikes heavy" architectural style, abundant razorvine, and acidic smog is all very homey to them.

	''[[Couatl]]'' are arrogant and vainglorious feathered serpents who seek to slay evil as part of their endless, convoluted dance for status and prestige in their meritocratic society.

			''[[Deva]]s'', whilst more associated with the [[Prime Material]], are also found here in considerable numbers, since they are former [[angel]]s.

	''[[Devil]]s'' are descended from fallen angels who betrayed their divine master and murdered him, being cursed into hideous, twisted shapes. Although mostly bound to their prison of Baator, they still have freedom enough to roam the Astral Sea, either in service to wary gods of evil or else pursuing their own wicked plots.

	''[[Marut]]s'' are a race of divine constructs - angelic stone [[golem]]s, essentially - fashioned eons ago by the gods as the ultimate impartial arbitrators and mediators, then discarded when they turned out to work all too well.

			''[[Shardmind]]s'' are a race of psychic crystalline living constructs who were created when a magical crystal barrier between the Astral Sea and the [[Far Realm]] was destroyed. As such, they are frequently found traveling the Astral in an effort to understand who they are and what their place is, with [[Hestavar]] having one of the largest known populations of them in the multiverse.

	''[[Quom]]'' are a former race of gentle medics and magicians, driven insane with rage by the death of their world-god, Lakal. They now roam the Astral Sea constantly in continent-sized crystal ships, seeking to gather the fragments of Lakal so that they can restore her.

	The '''Astral Sea''' is a [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[plane]] in the [[World Axis]] cosmology from the [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition\|the 4th edition of the game]]. Comparing it to the original [[Great Wheel]] is difficult because it serves as both a transitive plane, much the original Astral Plane, and as a residence for celestial beings. However, it blends elements of the [[Outer Planes]] as a whole into itself, as its various Dominions serve roles analoguous to many planes from previous editions. For example, here, one can find not only [[Arvandor]] and [[Celestia]], but also [[Mechanus]], [[Baator]] and [[Chernoggar]] (analoguous to the Great Wheel's [[Acheron]]).
