DnD Head Canons

[martixy]

The astral plane is an explosion of color and light, everything being in sharp clarity and vibrant, while the ethereal plane is muted and dry, all objects warped and indistinct. This is because the astral plane connects to the planes that exemplify and expand on material plane phenomena and ideas, and the ethereal plane connects to planes that are syntheses of material ideas, like the core elements.

Random note:
Those already exist. They are called the Plane of Shadow and the Plane of Radiance [Dr. 321].

So... when is it some random head-canon and when is it just your own personal homebrew cosmology? Cuz I could rant a lot about the latter. A lot.

For the smaller stuff...
I don't do monoculture races, so this does not apply universally, but I like completely ridiculous combinations such as
- Drow that sound like russian immigrants
- Minotaurs that sound like posh british butlers
- Redneck orcs, etc.

P.S. Is there any word on why Sigil is called the Cage? Someone mentioned the idea of it being a prison for Her Serenity, and that name fits rather well, so how much of actual canon could we have there?
