A MetaPlane is a distinct world or universe accessable through the AstralPlane. *more to follow...* Well known (to advanced mages and magic theorists anyway) Metaplanes in [Boston] inclue the four Elemental Metaplanes: [Earth], [Air], [Water] and [Fire]. As well as the Nature Metaplanes inhabited by the [Totem]s: [The realm of man], [The Waters], [The Sky] and [The Land]. Other magical traditions may know of, and have access to other relevent Metaplanes.
In [Camrish], these are more usually referred to as the [NetherWorld]s. Cascade and Arcadia are noted examples.
Getting to the [NetherWorld]s involves either taking a physical gate, or interceding with the [Dweller on the Threshold] to gate you through.
