>From the subjective experience of the Malkioni heroquester, I think the Essence planes usually appear as buildings, formal gardens, and other ordered, artificial spaces. This holds true for even the scary, foreign, parts of the Essence plane - perhaps a dungeon or colosseum or prison in a foreign architectural style. Entering the Hero planes is to step out into the wilderness.
