The Outlands

The Concordant Domain of the Outlands, also known as the Concordant Opposition, is the Center of the Great Wheel. It is directly connected to all the outer planes of existence and is a plane of neutrality. The properties of all the other outer planes are mixed together in the Outlands. Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos existed here in all their forms, but they are less able to affect each other due to the neutralizing effect of this plane.

The Outlands itself is shaped like a large disk. In the middle of the disk is an infinitely tall spire, on top of which is the torus-shaped city of Sigil. Dotting the edge of the spire are sixteen gate towns, known for their portals to the outer planes. The closer one travels to the spire, the less magic is able to function. At the base of the spire all magic, both divine and arcane, completely fails.

Because of the plane's neutralizing effects on both alignment and magic, the base of the spire is sometimes used as a meeting place between deities or other powerful beings.
