This page describes every place that is not located in the planet of Eseron, where Eden is located, together with other two unknown continents.
Plants and creatures called "Outsiders" in Eden are not native of the planet and come from different planes or dimensions.
The Planes
A plane is a vast place with various physical and magical traits and rules. All the planes in Fables and Fantasy are in the same spacially comunicating dimension, although they are separated by a barrier with its own rules, that forbid the planes to catastrophically collide.
Planar travel
The only thing we know that naturally travels between planes is pure magic. For magic the space is a continuum and they can travel through any planar and dimensional planes, unless a planar barrier screen exists.
Other entities need portals of rifts to communicate with other planes, which allow them to teleport between the two substiantially different places.
These rifts are usually created naturally when a high concentration of pure magic focuses in a so called "hallowed" place, or by mages and other magical beings throughout a magical extraplanar catalyst.
The Material Plane
The plane where Eseron is located is called Material plane (or more rarely "Eseron Nearbies" or "Space", in cosmology works).
The planet Eseron has the shape of a sphere that orbits around the Sun in the time of a year, and rotates around his axis in the time of a day.
People living in Eden usually divide their year in four seasons; during each season the proximity to one of the four elemental planes is such that invisible elemental rifts form beyond the barrier, similar to a quantum well effect, making the plane influence Eseron.
Lilith
Eseron also has a twin planet called Lilith. It once was a lively planet, just as Eseron. But it got invaded by voidal forces, probably left unchecked and unsuccessfully repelled.
Lilith is inhabited by any sort of demons and voidal forces; during the Lilith's Veil's months Llith gets closer to Eseron. Sometimes during these months the planet itself can be visible and located between the sun and Eseron, and its voidal forces darken the sunlight for some hours in a phenomenon called “the Dark Eclipsis”(or Blood Sun).
The Screening Barrier
This ellipsoid in which Eseron and the sun are contained has its border made of a planar barrier that reflects the strong elemental magic emanating by the elemental planes.
Elemental planes are filled with elemental magic and are completely transparent to the incoming rough magic that come from the outside and traverses them as if they were transparent.
Since all the elemental components of the magic are screened by the barrier, only the rough component of this light passes through both the element planes and the barrier, thus making the elemental planes transparent when you look at this barrier in the sky. What you get to see on the screen of this magical barrier is therefore the voidal plane and the holes from which the stellar light comes.
In the figure you can notice how the elemental plane can spatially exist for traveling magic, but it will be transparent to its travel; thus making the whole elemental plane transparent from the sky perspective.
The Elemental Planes
These planes are spatially contiguous and yet luckily they do not spatially border each other, for a spatial border would be a catastrophic clash between elements.
They're in fact bordered by the Screening Barrier: this invisible powerful magical planar barrier that contains the Material Plane, also reflect elemental magic therefore separating elemental planes from each other.
The influence of the elemental planes over Eden is only based on casual invisible elemental rifts and sporadic gleams from the elemental plane magic, and not to its mere proximity, although the seasonal movement momentarily increases the number of such rifts. Entities from the elemental planes cannot survive in Eseron for longer periods of time since magic fastly dissipates in Eden. Worse happens for Eden creatures that might try to enter a rift to the Elemental plane: throwing a potato into Ignos would instantly incinerate it, similarly if you throw it into Aros it would instantly dissolve into water; be petrified in Kor and be sliced into nothingness to join the wind in Aether.
