I think the Astral Plane is discussed in Rifts® World Book 12: Psyscape. Could be other places but I can't recall at the moment.

Nothing about Limbo, but there are many mentions of things being held in dimensional limbo (notice the lack of capitalization). Which suggests that there are dimension that are similar to the how Limbo is describe in stories and legends. I've always assumed that when a dragon or god creates a Deific Realm, they use a portion of this limbo as all it is is dimensional space that has not been used for anything and is empty.

Damn right. Anyone who expected good Astral Plane material from the Pyscape book would be sorely dissapointed. Fortunately it's been damn near a decade since the shocking piece of bad advertising that was WB:12, so you're probably safe now.

You could always use the Dimension Builders book to build one. And once that is done you could always post your dimension here on the boards for us to look at. Especially if you had some problems and wanted peoples inputs.

Nether Realms .
Just what is the nether realm .. no one seems to know . Is it a realm of the dead ? Is it perhaps yet another vrsn of hell ? Is it possibly some form of heaven ? No one knows . Not the wisest of mortals not the most ancient of Gods. It is an always has been . Of the Few Shifters an those with Temporal magic that have been there an studied the dimension they simply say it is huge . It is simply beyond measure as how huge it really is .(single landmass lightyears across) The Prime material of that plane seems to be that of earth , water , fire , air . It is known that tech will simply not work in there (Borgs an such are living an thus magically kept alive an can work ) particle rifles laser canons Boom guns simply cease to work . The magic level is extreamly low as well as every being who has been there were nearly trapped or are trapped .The Time flow seems to be extreamly wierd as in some spots time moves at an accelerated pace an in others it simply stands still an yet others its so slow it seems to stand still . In the nether realms there are 3 known places to try to escape this wierd dimension if one knows where to go or where to look . The first place is the Astral realm rift . Leading to that legendary Realm the second is a wierd area that is a 100 mile by 100 mile area that fades in an out of the nether realms reality an into an outta the dimension of LIMBO . The two realms began to leak an merge into a huge realm that stopped several million years ago an it has not grown nor has it shrunk down at all it simply stays at its current state . There are various factions within limbo all trying to control its various aspects such as demons deevils angels beings of light as well as others . The Third and last place to try to escape from is known as PURGATORY . The Rift into purgatoy is a single small rift about the size of a small house an strangly enough is a one way rift . After one walks threw its like being in an endless world of semi twilight . All forms of tech work here as well . it is a barren world or mostly rock with patches of different flora an fauna here an there . The one single thing that absolutly every single being to enter that realm an make it out alive will tell you is to watch out for The PURGATORY gaurds . there are three known types at this time one type is simply the sercher , it is they that you will meet first an formost . they are known as Kwojk they are the gaurds that you will encounter first . IF you should defeat the Kwojk thier death will automatically alert thier supiorior They are named Ctmpk . IT is thier job to search the last area the kwojk were before they died an it is they who are the blood hounds of the guards . With various abilities an powers they will find you an confront you . Should you also defeat them the realm has one last Known gaurd it is the great Athab . Thier power in this realm is near Godlike an thier only pourpos is to simply to throw you out of thier realm or to simply kill you . It is unknown wether there are other more powerfull beings in PURGATORY or not . The beings that have been there seem to think that the Gaurds were never alive but are actually a part of that reality an several beings have gone forth to state that they were able to capture an bring one of the Kwojk threw thier own rift an the gaurd simply disappeared . Most Temproal Raiders an wizards belive that the PURGATORY dimension simply creates these gaurds on a as needed basis . There is only one Rift in PURGATORY anyone wishing to leave it is either evicted by the spirit guards or simply have to creat thier own rift to leave .
Its not much but thought I would give it a go an actually used the megavrse builder to create LIMBO as well as PURGATORY . Tried to keep it as clutter free as possible . I have not totally fleshed out the three spirit gaurdians yet but give me a couple days an will have them all finished already have thier rough drafts done as it were lol . Thanks for the advice once again

Purgtory isn't restricted to Catholics...anybody who's ever sat in a local Department of Motorvehicles can tell you that...

Yeah, but those drivers license photographers really dig for those sort of shots!
