Astral dominion

Astral dominions, sometimes simply called dominions, are distinct planes within the Astral Sea inhabited and maintained, often, but not always by a god or perhaps many gods. In many ways an astral dominion is a plane in of itself, and sometimes contains its own demiplanes. Nonetheless, each dominion is a part of the greater Astral Sea.

Some dominions are planet-sized, whilst others are far smaller and no vaster than small cities or even singular structures, although in general dominions are depicted as wondrous isles floating in a vast and infinite sea.

Often, astral dominions are viewed as places of divine reward or punishment, though this is not strictly true and most gods, evil or good, reward their faithful in the afterlife and some beings, such as githyanki who inhabit dominions do not partake in the running of the afterlife at all. However, deities who inhabit dominions do commonly retrieve the souls of their faithful from the Fugue Plane dominion and bring them to their own, though others are lost in the Shadowfell, ensnared by demons, bought by devils, or even sentenced to divine punishment in the Wall of the Faithless or the City of Judgment by Kelemvor.
