	Nirvana is the realm of the Agathions (Pathfinder's version of [[Guardinal#Agathions\|Guardinals]]). ~~Because~~ these celestial beings are Neutral in their outlook towards Chaos and Law, they are seldom called to war with evil creatures or feel the urge to explore and experience other realms, therefore ~~they rarely~~ leave their home plane unless summoned directly. That is not to say they ''never'' leave, as they will happily do so if they can assist mortals, but those opportunities don't come up that often.		Nirvana is the realm of the Agathions (Pathfinder's version of [[Guardinal#Agathions\|Guardinals]]). Different Pathfinder splatbooks disagree on the influence of the native celestials of Nirvana though: The older ''Guide to the Multiverse'' states that Nirvana's inhabitants pursue a more active and interventionist role across the planes than their celestial neighbors from Heaven or Elysium. Contrasted to the more recent ''Planar Adventures'' book which describes them as being far more passive in nature; arguing that because these celestial beings are Neutral in their outlook towards Chaos and Law, they are seldom called to war with evil creatures or ever feel the urge to explore and experience other realms and are therefore less likely to leave their home plane unless summoned directly. That is not to say they ''never'' leave, as they will happily do so if they can assist mortals, but the ''Planar Adventures'' book points out that those opportunities don't come up that often.

	The Petitioners of Nirvana are called ''The Cleansed'' and are typically reincarnated into animal bodies, though they retain their intelligence and independence. ~~This allows them~~ to ~~commune fully with~~ the plane and the ~~petitioner animals~~ often become wiser with age. ~~However~~ some petitioners retain their humanoid forms, typically when they are servants of the gods and need to retain shapes appropriate to their function.		The Petitioners of Nirvana are called ''The Cleansed'' and are typically reincarnated into animal bodies, though they retain their intelligence and independence. Again, different splatbooks interpret the Cleansed in slightly different ways, with the ''Guide to the Multiverse'' explaining that the Cleansed lose their memories steadily to unshackle themselves from mortal concerns and live sheltered, idealized lives, eventually becoming more attuned to the plane until the point where they eventually vanish at the moment on enlightenment. However, ''Planar Adventures'' points out that '''all''' petitioners on '''every''' plane lose their memories anyway, and that most will vanish when their quintessence merges with their home plane, making their fate on Nirvana somewhat redundant; so instead the Cleansed consider their transformation to be a fresh-start where they can live pure lives and often become wiser with age, hoping to seek out the mysteries of enlightenment, rather than automatically achieving it.

			Despite all this some petitioners retain their humanoid forms, typically when they are servants of the gods and need to retain shapes appropriate to their function.

'''Nirvana''' is the [[Alignment|Neutral Good]] plane of the [[Pathfinder]] [[Great Beyond]] cosmology.

It is the plane of ultimate goodness, unconcerned by matters of law or chaos. It is believed to hold the secrets to enlightenment and greater states of being. Therefore it is a tranquil place of peace and purity.

It has parallels with both [[Elysium]] and [[Beastlands]] of the D&D [[Great Wheel]] cosmology, and is often referred to as the ''Great Wilderness''.
