[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9040151, member: 58172"] The difficulty is, 5e refers to both the 3e Wheel cosmology and the 4e Axis cosmology. Also, 5e carefully avoids clarifying incongruencies between the two. Some fans refer to the context of 4e to fill in the gaps and override conflicts. Some fans refer to the 3e to fill in the gaps and override conflicts. But 5e is neither. I am interested to see how the 5e designers will reconcile their references to both conflictive cosmologies. For example, in 3e Pelor is in Elysium the True Good Outer Plane. In 4e Pelor is in Hestavar with two Unaligned creatures, and not in Elysium. Where is Pelor in 5e? Fill in the blindspot. Since 5e mentions Hestavar by name, presumably Pelor is in Hestavar ... and not Elysium. Thus the souls of the religious adherents of the sun tradition apparently go to Hestavar ... not Elysium. Or maybe, Hestavar is part of Elysium. Maybe in 5e, the Outer Plane of the True Good alignment is actually a network of Astral dominions linking together by portals. I suspect, in 5e, creatures of other alignments can be inhabitants of a conflictive alignment plane. 5e borrows from 3e and borrows from 4e, but is neither. [/QUOTE]
