[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9678711, member: 6704184"] I love that. It hasn’t ever come up, but one of my worlds is a disc with two sides, spinning in space like a coin. The sun and stars are literally the domains of the gods and other Powers, with the sun being the home of the Goddess of Life and Hope, and the Moon being the home of the Huntress, with its silver leafed forests and glimmering lakes and rivers. My biggest cosmology includes the real world universe, but also has the World Tree, with an infinite forest around it growing amongst its roots, and a halo ring with ice and fire poles orbiting it, and a planet and 9 moons orbiting between the two. Space Fantasy has space but it isn’t scientific and is full of Aether, which can be breathed, and there are ancient dragons that slumber as they fly, covered in extensive societies of kobolds, at least one “Sun” that is actually a Seraphim, a dualistic galactic Core that is The Tower and The River, which are to much to explain quickly, a region of space where there are no planets and instead as you approach you find yourself in the sky above a verdant world that seems infinite, until you fly back up past the lower atmosphere and into space, but even there you will see treetops of trees whose base are the size of small mountains and mountains the size of worlds, and great flying whale-like creatures with coral growths on their backs that they can use to destroy ships and fight other “Aetheradons”, and many other oddities besides. If you’re gonna have a fantasy cosmology, it might as well be weird as hell. [/QUOTE]
