Each cosmos has one or more planes, which are usually infinite, but blend into each other (something that shouldn't be possible by all means of logic, but the universe was created before anyone invented logic)The deific or divine cosmos provides the ephemeral building blocks - the ideals, alignments, and the like. Throughout the cosmos, you can imagine a cross. One of the two axes of this cross is good/evil, the other is order/chaos. A plane's location in relation to the cross determines its alignment (a plane that is strongly evil aligned, is far out down (if down means evil), one that is mildly evil and mildly chaotic would be somewhere in the lower right corner (down for evil and right for chaos - but not all the way for either). This could accomodate more or less unlimited "outer planes", some more evil/good/chaotic/lawful, some less so, some mildly neutral (in the vicinity of the middle point), with the outlands (or their equivalent) smack in the middle.The elemental cosmos has planes for each element. Please note that I intended to use Elements of Magic here, so there will be quite a few elements. There's several axes here: Fire/Water, Earth/Air, Death/Live, and the planes are aligned just like elements are aligned in EoM (so somewhere between fire and earth, you find magma, between death and stone, you find metal)The material cosmos has several planes that make up a planet each. I was thinking of 4 main planets where mortals usually live (each one tied to one of the primary elements - with the fire planet having more desert, water planet less land, and so on). The planets share one orbit, and are connected with countless portals - some of the bigger cities even exist on several planets in several places, being connected by colossal portals.The other planets are - to take inspiration from our own solar system - named after deities. Greater deities get their own planet, and lesser ones get a moon around the planet of the god they serve. Example: Let's assume FR deities. There would be a planet Mystra, with a Moon Azuth, one named Savras, and the dark Moon Velsharoon.Travel to those planets isn't possible. While the deities have abodes in the divine cosmos, they also have palaces and other homes here, and it is here where people go after they die.</blockquote>
