[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8351672, member: 87792"] I'm amused by how little of what you fell in love with is part of the original Great Wheel. The Feywild and the Shadowfell are pure 4e/World Axis, as for that matter is the Elemental Chaos as opposed to much purer elemental planes. Mechanus is a substitute that doesn't really fit - but is so much stronger than the original Nirvana that no one cares. And Ysgard is just off-brand Asgard, not that there's anything wrong with that. 7 Heavens is so someone can say they are in 7th Heaven. The Nine Hells (not seven) started as the Nine Circles of Hell in Dante's Inferno. Half of that's in the Feywild or Shadowfell. Why there wasn't before 4e? Pass. There's a reason fluff wise I consider it goes 4e> 5e > everything before. The difference between a lightly satirical version of Narnia and Faerie. Slaad made it to D&D first. Different approaches. In Valhalla war is almost fun. Acheron is much grimmer. This is one I can actually see. Of course I once again prefer the 4e World Axis domains of war because one invaded the other. Pass Because Olympus isn't supposed to be infinitely big. Mount Olympus is in Arvendor (CG) No idea at all here. If we have Neutral Evil Fiends (itself a little box-ticky) they gotta have a domain. But no idea other than they wanted to put the anchors for Mount Olympus and Yggdrasil right at the bottom of the wheel. There is. In 4e it's called the Astral Sea and in 5e it's called the Great Wheel and goes on the outside of the axis. [/QUOTE]
