[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8351109, member: 79428"] From what I've seen so far, it seems to be a kind of hybrid of the Great Wheel and the World Axis. The Elemental Chaos is referred as something that used to exist but was separated into both Exandria itself and the separate Elemental Planes, which is more like the Great Wheel. The Outer Planes themselves are described as being scattered, which is more in line with the World Axis. This description was given by Matt of representation of the cosmology within the Folding Halls of Halas: The original Tal'Dorei setting book doesn't give information for the Outer Planes as far as I recall. The Wildemount book that WotC published has certain gods that exist in other campaign settings (like Pelor and Kord) dwelling in Outer Planes mentioned in the 5E PHB, while the 4E original gods plus not-Sarenrae are either wanderers of the Outer Planes or dwell in reaches of the Astral Plane that are not themselves Outer Planes. Pelor lives in Elysium, but Raei lives on the Island of Renewal "near" Elysium. Melora is sometimes in Arvandor but doesn't live there. Erathis' Hestavar drifts in the Astral Sea, as does Zehir's realm. An episode from March of this year has the Mighty Nein find this notes from the planar researcher Ryn: This leads me to believe that a new cosmology might be revealed in the upcoming setting book. I also suspect that gods will either be referred to exclusively by their titles or by brand new names, as in Campaign 2 the cast consistently called the gods by their titles (especially the Wild Mother, but also others such as the Moon Weaver and the Chained Oblivion).
