Good points.  And, as I recalled just now, the Paths of the Dead are
also a location that can be reached by "simple physical motion on the
surface of the planet", yet are not necessarily in the same plane of
existence as the rest of Dragaera.  So I can understand positing that
there might be other locations like it.

Indeed, the Necromancer suggests that there are hundreds of "locations
where the boundaries between worlds are flawed".

Not that we have enough information about whether the Sea or the
Mountain are among those hundreds.

Another good point.  Morrolan's Tower is almost certainly a location
that is dedicated to Verra, and is also a gate between worlds.
