However, the Great Wheel is not the only valid conception of the planes, and since most planar travel is conducted via spells or portals, the exact layout is effectively arbitrary and largely irrelevant. Outside of these lie other smaller spaces, such as demiplanes and extradimensional spaces. It includes the Material Plane where people live the Inner Planes, which are the four basic elements of which other matter is ultimately made the Outer Planes, arranged in an outer ring of infinite realms where the gods reside and the transitive planes, which connect planes together. The shape of the vast cosmology of planes is practically impossible for an individual to objectively observe and may even appear differently from the perspective of different worlds.Ī popular model of the multiverse is known as the Great Wheel, which describes the relationship of the plane with some accuracy.

The multiverse is described as a transfinite expanse of mind-boggling immensity. The term 'multiverse' is also occasionally used in a more limited sense, referring to the universe as understood within the context of a single campaign setting e.g. Within this multiverse are an endless variety of worlds.

The Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition Player's Handbook describes the multiverse of D&D worlds as follows: 'The worlds of the Dungeons & Dragons game exist within a vast cosmos called the multiverse, connected in strange and mysterious ways to one another and to the other planes of existence, such as the Elemental Plane of Fire and the Infinite Depths of the Abyss.
