Nobody has had any thoughts about this yet, so feel free to make up
something. The question is, how real is what people believe? Is the
Green Lady or the Axebearer "real"? Or do they only exist to explain
some otherwise inexplicable phenomena? If they are real, there might
as well be other planes to act as their ethereal homes ... whether
they are reachable by living or dead is yet another question. I would
say that living creatures would normally not be able to travel
anywhere besides their own plane. But in a world of magic, basically
anything may become possible.

One purpose of other planes might be "fast travelling", using some
kind of ancient portals for example. These might lead to another plane
where time passes differently or distances are shorter. Nothing we'll
need for v0.4, since the area is still pretty small, but perhaps later
on it would be a nice thing.
