Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Lost Muse" data-source="post: 2689556" data-attributes="member: 18546">Largely based on Greek Mythology, the Bible, and Paradise Lost, but also influenced by Tolkien's work, this is the cosmology for all my campaigns (although it does not usually come up).  If anything in here violates the Code of Conduct, I apologize and submit to the will of the moderators.Universe - This is the physical plane of reality. The physical plane is divided into two halves: The Seen Realm, and the Unseen Realm. The Seen Realm is what most people comprehend over their lives. The Unseen Realm is the portion of the physical plane inhabited with Spirits, and where Angels and Demons usually manifest themselves. The false gods are prohibited by God from directly interacting with the Universe. Paradise - Where people who are justified by faith in God and the future Messiah go when they die. Angels may enter here, and it's possible for mortal to get to the outer gate, but not to come in. Once the Messiah visits this plane, the mortals who died and live here can have access to Heaven. Heaven - This is where the Temple and Throne of God are located, and where the Celestial Chorus resides. Demons and false gods have not entered this realm after being cast out by the Son of God. Hades - Where people who reject the gift of righteousness offered by God end up. Demons and false gods roam around here, if they wish. When mortals are here, they are as though living without ability to die, but experience decay (when you get hurt, you stay hurt forever.) Many false gods have set up kingdoms here and there's a lot of vicious power struggles going on. There are vast fields where hacked up people - members of armies fighting in this realm - lie moaning and wailing, unable to move, never dying. It is whispered that the promised Messiah of the Universal plane will also descend here to redeem some repentant people that were previously lost. Tartarus - This deeper portion of Hades is where demons are put to be imprisioned. After 1,000 years of imprisonment some demons are released, while others remain chained up for eternity. Gehenna - This plane contains a lake of burning sulphur which is never extinguished. Satan and his forces landed here after being thrown from Heaven. They escaped to the Abyss; however, afterwards God destroyed the bridge between those two planes. Nothing that enters Gehenna may leave. The Abyss - Originally a void of nothingness, the Abyss is now home to Pandamoneum, Satan's throneroom. Normal rules of proportion do not apply to beings inside Pandamoneum. An angel guards the exit to the Abyss. Anyone may enter, but most need permission to leave.</blockquote>
