Who can help me figure out the location of the Temporal Energy Plane?

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to work out where the Plane of Time (sometimes called the demiplane of time or even the Temporal Energy Plane) works into the Pathfinder Cosmology.

Is it a plane linked to the astral plane? Does it even exist in the game or is it assumed to be a constant force like gravity etc?

Any help would be great.
Thanks!


Clearly it's located in between the Locational Plane of Energy, and the Inquisital Plane of Energy.

On a more serious note, why is it important?
Because I think the Elemental plane of Gravity might be a good place to start.

I'm working on a very weird temporal-rift themed dungeon. The problem is, the world in which we are playing has been cut off from the Astral plane. Thus, I had to check to see if the Temporal Plane is inaccessible as a result.

If (as noted in the post above) the temporal plane is connected to the Inner Sphere, then I should be okay...I think.

If you're playing in a custom world that already doesn't have access to the Astral Plane, then you can really define the Dimension of Time however you need it to work for your setting. Very little about the planes actually impacts the rules in any way, since they're infinite abstractions, so tell the story you want to tell.

Thanks for this. :)

The plan is: the rift to the Temporal Plane was created before the world was cut off from the Astral Plane - thus, the temple exists in two planes at once but it is not stable. When players activate "temporal haunts" a scene from the past plays out for a duration then fades, giving hints at how to solve the rest of the dungeon. :) I hope it works out!

Thanks again for the clarification and encouragement.
