None of mine are that strict (it is more the atmosphere I concentrate extremely hard on maintaining).Hmm... I think some idea of what has generally stayed constant in D&D be a good idea (then I'll go crazy with one of my cosmologies) which others can build upon to get going:-Generally there is some manner of "mortal world"-Some manner of place(s) where the Gods reside-Some manner of place(s) for demons and devils.I think generally when it comes to D&D cosmology and creatures. "Mortal World" monsters/beings, Gods and Demons and Devils seem to be the most constant things that exist and seek out somekind of own place in the cosmology.Now to throw in some craziness. I am just gonna chuck in one of my cosmologies I made (combining elements of 4e with my own stuff just to see what people think/can take from it) some may dislike the history of the Lady of Pain, but it should be noted that only I as setting creator would know this not the players:[sblock]There was once a large-pantheon of Gods (none of specific things, just Gods and Goddesses ruling over a vast cosmology of planes, and natural worlds).A war broke out amongst the Gods, as even the Gods are liable to grow frustrated and angry at eachother. This war was unlike anything seen before; whole planes were broken, worlds crumbled and Gods died.Some of the Gods saw in this war, the end of the universe. So they created the artificial-Worlds and their god-machine maintainers. Each World was a duplicate of a real world, either lost or soon to be lost to the war, all life on the World was frozen in time.The Gods believed that in-time the war would end and they could bring about a new time for the creatures they ruled over. This did not come to pass, and the Worlds remained; till they began to breakdown, be infiltrated or grow into their own unique Worlds.The Abyss, Angels and Lloth, Lady of Pain and Morrigan are remnants of the war.The Angels are the descendants of the Gods' Celestials, though without the guidance of the Gods they soon grew into their own nefarious race.Lloth, Lady of Pain and Morrigan were the daughters of one of the Gods and they were heavily affected by the war. Lloth soon became corrupt and the Gods including her parents tore down her power and in doing so formed the Abyss. They created the defenses that now guard it as a final point.The Lady of Pain grief-striken by the lost of life, and disgusted by her fellow Gods fled. Soon after the death of the other Gods, she created Sigil as a place where only mortals tread, and no Gods.Morrigan unlike her sister, found the death and chaos fascinating. She soon grew to revel in the possibilities and aspects of death. Which is why she searched out the Fates; to learn their secrets of death and took up her home in the Shadowfell.Some who know of the war, believe the Fates twisted the destinies of the Gods to create this war. It is believed it was to bring about the dawn of mortal rule and they even now string the destinies of mortals towards some unknown end.[/sblock]I may post more elements I have brainstormed for different cosmologies as they re-collect in my head. This luckily was written down on a forum a while back, so was able to find it.</blockquote>
