Pale

A pale is a section of a world or plane with distinctly different magical and perhaps physical conditions from the rest of the plane. Generally the word is not used to describe the only such area in an otherwise uniform world; it is only applied where the world or plane is divided into multiple pales. Often each pale has a single living entity associated with it that exerts some control over events and objects within the pale, though this is not necessarily the case.

This page is a temporary stub, because the concept that it covered came up enough to be worth explaining but we haven't had time to write a full article about it. It will eventually be replaced by a more in-depth article.
