D&D 5E 5e Cosmology

[Steely Dan]

Natives from the upper planes are celestials, natives of the lower planes are fiends, natives to the Elemental Chaos and the elemental planes, and Fey to the Feywild, but do beings native to the Shadowfell, Astral Plane, Energy Planes, Mechanus, and Limbo catogorized as Keyword wise in this edition?

Yeah, while doing 5th Ed monster conversions I was like, okay, now is a modron a construct, and what about Rilmani and Slaadi?

I went for Modrons being Constructs, Rilmani being Celestials, and Slaadi being Fiends.

The Feywild (Plane of Faerie) and the Shadowfell (Plane of Shadow) actually started in 3rd Ed.

The Plane of Shadow is from DDG. (And earlier in Dragon?)

I really dig the incorporation of the 2e Planescape symbols for the various outer planes, that's a surprise to see, and it made me smile.

As I worked on the diagram, WotC sent me the Planescape symbols for use in the Outer Planes, to spice those circles up, which was a was choice on their part.

While looking at the lovely graphic, I realized that we're missing a Shadow-archetype warlock. Was there one in 4e?

There was the Dark pact warlock (his spells were more powerful if he damaged allies with them) and the Binder (in Heroes of the Shadowfell).

Missing a celestial-archetype warlock as well.

Great picture, I think WOTC nailed this one.


Its pretty clear in design. I think they kept most of the great wheel roots with just enough 4eisms to include the newer system.

As people are commenting, a common theme is "its not my perfect system but I can definately work with it"...which to me is exactly what WOTC is trying to do in their "blend all of the editions together" approach.

*looks at 5e warlock*

*looks back at 3.5e shadowcaster*

*ponders possibilities...*

I thought someone had posted a more elaborate poster map of the multiverse on twitter or something. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
