If you take that idea, PoL settings might just not be there yet where the Great Wheel was invented or useful - the factions of Planescape don't exist yet, and thus there is no need to "map" them as a Great Wheel. ---I really like the new cosmology. Especially the Feywild was an instant win for me. A plane of feys just on the other side of the mirror, so to speak? Just a step orthogonal to space, and you're there? If you're not careful while traveling he woods, you might stumble in the Feywild? Feys that might steal your children at night?So much potential. So much flair. The Ethreal, Shadow and Astral Planes never felt that interesting too me. And then there's also the Shadowfell...And the Astral Sea? Depending how you see it, the space could be the Astral Sea, and every Astral Dominion might be one of the "dots" in the night sky. The Elemental Chaos could be below the surface, if you dig deep enough, even beyond the Underdark, beyond the core of your world, you might find a world full of lava and water rivers floating through air, whirlwinds and rocks inhabitated by strange creature. And if you go even deeper, you might find the real Abyss, a place of eternal destruction, chaos, evil and creation...Fascinating. ---If there's something I might miss, I think there might be some room for a "Dream Plane", maybe a plane where psionics and ki come from. A plane that doesn't exist out there, but in our heads, in our unconcious. Maybe a plane from where we get wherever we want, but we might not find our way back. A plane where all our dreams can come true, but all our worries and fears can manifest. And if we are not careful, what is inside our heads can come out... Or... Should this be the "truth" behind the Far Realms?  That it's not far at all, that it's inside us?</blockquote>
