 #The third principle (per the Rule-of-Three above) is the Center of All: wherever a person happens to be is, from their own perspective, the center of the multiverse; as most planes are functionally infinite, disproving anyone's centricity would be impossible. For Planescape, this is meant philosophically just as much as in terms of multiversal geography - this also implies that nowhere can be said to be the only absolute true center, and is the source of much argument and violence.
-Planescape also has characters named for each of the principles: Center of All is an Aurumach, the most powerful and rare of the Rilmani. Rilmani are outsiders who are the living embodiment of pure neutrality, with the golden-skinned Aurumachs serving as diplomats, primary strategists and organizers of rilmani society. The [[encyclopedia]] entry is based on [https://planewalker.com/forum/planescape-haiku_.html a post from the Planescape Haiku thread] on Planewalker, an old official fansite for the Planescape setting - the haiku in question is the third of a set of three, and is fittingly titled "Center of All".
