The Planes
From Dasaria 2
The following is mostly speculation based on in-game evidence. Officially, there has been no word about the workings of the universe/multiverse in the Dasarian setting.

Inner Planes
The Inner Planes are simple in the world of Dasaria. The Material Plane is where everything is centered around, and the Elemental Planes surround it. The elemental planes are not developed in the world of Dasaria, and are the chaotic home of elemental creatures.
Transitive Planes
The Dreamscape
The Dreamscape is a strange and wondrous plane. It is a reflection of the world, both the memories of the people and the events in the world. It is ruled by Nuarari, though Coloth is constantly attempting to wrest it from her. It's nature is fickle at the best of times, constantly morphing and showing people visions that may or may not be true when the purposely cross into it. It is also said to be the place a person's soul goes when they dream.
The Tassalian sect of the Magnus Order is said to dabble into the workings of this plane, as well as the Shai orcs.
The Plane of Shadow: The Shadowfell
The Plane of Shadow is a dark and twisted reflection of our reality. It is also the domain of Coloth, god of nightmares.
Outer Planes
The Underworld
The realm of souls is a dark shadowy reflection of the living world that is presided over by Peralia and her husband Culnul. The nether world is so permeated by darkness that when the sun descends here at night it casts only a weak and feeble light.
In the darkest shadow of The Underworld sits the house of Culnul, the House of Ashes, where no one ever exits. The souls here live in darkness, seeing no light. The air is thick with dust and once mighty kings are made to be servants.
In Peralia's court priests and heroes reside along side those who guard the seven gates which separates the land of the living from the land of the dead.
Pandemonium
A hellish, purely chaotic place. There is very little information on this plane, except that it is dangerous and ever changing.
Planar Creatures
Many strange beasts spot the lands of Dasaria, but of special note are those whose origins remain a complete mystery. Some of those have been speculated to be "out of this world":
Druagoth
Hunched but slim, the Druagoths roam in very organized packs and appear to be highly intelligent. Their hierarchy and language is alien, but they bear a clearly militaristic persona. They are known to don armor and weapons.
Lochtus
Huge and brutish, these bloated shadowy creatures inspire fear. They are completely incapable of speech or facial expression, due to having no facial features save for a pair of red orbs that serve as their eyes. Certain loremasters have cited them as holy creatures in loyal service of Lochwar.
Abyssal Cani
These creatures resembles big, powerfully built dogs with short, rust-red fur; their markings, teeth, and tongue are sooty black. They also have red, glowing eyes.
Handmaiden
These creatures look like fierce and beautiful women, with statuesque builds and flawless skins. They bear large, feathery wings and red, glowing eyes. The are rumored to be linked to the ancient race of the Ji Lyn somehow.
Handmaiden Watcher
These creatures looks like massive, roughly humanoid toads with arms in place of forelegs. Their wide mouths have rows of blunt, powerful teeth, and long spines run down the length of their backs. They often accompany - or perhaps guard - Handmaidens.
Turusk Ripper
These large humanoids have skin of dull metallic hue, spotted with patches of metallic spines. Their eyes gleam like shards of purple ice.
Shrouded Izaki
Tiny humanoids with leathery batwings, a barbed tail, and sharp, twisted horns. They flutter at about eye level, winking into sight from out of thin air.
Fiends
Many different demons and devils have been summoned or called to the material plane. Whether it is accurate to call them by these names is unknown.
Other
The ancient race of the Ji Lyn are said to have traced their lineage to extraplanar origins.
