D&D has used a number of different cosmologies (planar layouts) over the years. Just off the top of my
head, I'm aware of the Mystaran cosmology, the Great Wheel (with variants*), The Great Tree of 3e Forgotten Realms, and the Eberron cosmology. Were there any others? Also, what was the first reference to other planes of existence in a D&D product?
* For instance, the additions (and a few changes) to the lore in the 2e Planescape material, the elevation of the Plane of Shadow from a demi-plane to a full-fledged transitive plane in 3e, moving it to co-exist with the Prime, reducing the number of elemental planes in 3e, then in 5e incorporating 4e Shadowfell and Feywild and moving the Energy planes from the Inner planes to the Outer.
