Vita is one of the Four Cardinal Abstractive Planes of Wisterian Cosmology, a distinction shared with Axioma, Stasis, and Pandemonium. As a cardinal plane, it is strongly linked to the concept of Good, especially its creative aspect, Positive Energy. As is the case with Ahren and virtually every other plane, the true origins of Vita are lost to time. Even moreso than the dogmatic planes, no god claims absolute dominion over or creation of the Fires of Creation.

Vita is the explosive force said by some to be at the beginning of time and space across the entire multiverse, the energy from which has pervaded all possible presents and allowed for all other life and matter to exist.

While the positive energy radiating from Vita is a great boon to living things everywhere, it is also a terrible hazard. The shallower reaches of Vita can be traversed by the living, who will find themselves restored to youthful vitality and even rapidly accellerated in their personal power, ascending to something like godhood. However, without the appropriate mastery of the flow of energy, this same positive flux will quickly destroy anyone who trods it. Even the gods rarely visit Vita, whose Fires of Creation can consume even divinity as its fuel.
