Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ambrus" data-source="post: 2689136" data-attributes="member: 17691">My cosmology is based on the orrery cosmology described in the MotP except that all the other planes are visible in the skies as moons. Essentially, my entire cosmology is a group of moons orbiting a gas-giant called the Empyrean. The Empyrean is the elemental source of quintessence (the fifth element, i.e. Magic) and the home of the righteous gods. The sun, also known as Ignis is a moon that orbits the Empyrean, lights up the daytime sky and is the elemental plane of fire. Next is the moon Aer followed by the moon Aqua. The campaign setting is based on the surface of the fourth moon called Earth or Terra. There are also two tiny little distant moons that can be seen in the nighttime sky, Avernus and Perdition, where the demons and devils along with the unholy gods live. One is chaotically aligned and the other is lawful.All the elemental moons orbit the Empyrean in a predictable fashion, each reaching its perigee with earth at specific solstices and equinoxes which delineate the seasons. When the evil moons are at their perigee they herald wars, pestilence and famine. There are also transitive planes that exist in parallel with the other planes that aren't visible moons but rather just alternate dimensions. The ethereal plane exists and is a buffer between the plane of light called the Aurora in which the faery realm exists (which replaces the astral plane) and the plane of Shadow, called the Umbra, in which the goblinoids live.</blockquote>
