Metaphysics

=The Planes= While it is mostly accepted that there are worlds and dimensions other than the material, it is a taboo subject. The supernatural and extraplanar have not historically proven to be friendly. Many of the planes purported to exist have never been visited, and most people are keen to maintain the status quo.

The Elemental Realms
The world is said to touch each of the elemental realms in some way, and myth has it that the planet was born from the convergence and ordering of elemental dimensions by the gods. While their exact nature is debated, their existence has been unquestionably proven thanks to the Ra'Hakin's reliance on elementals to power their arcane machines.

The Yawning Black
The Black, as it is colloquially known, is said to be the realm of demons, evil gods, and other, more alien horrors. It has often been the subject of many myths and folktales, and as such, most scholars believe that it is merely the product of an ancient author's imagination.

However, evidence of its existence, or a realm fitting its description, has periodically surfaced throughout history, leaving enough doubt that the academic community has yet to dismiss it as fiction entirely.
