There just wasn't ever any official cosmological land of fairy, even though it was pretty much the model for 'other plane of existence'. I never really understood that. It was a lack that I felt acutely. The Land of the Dead was equally sort of not really spelled out, in GW cosmology maybe you just went 'wherever' to some outer plane or other, maybe. It wasn't quite as acute a thing though.The amusing part, for me, was that I basically designed myself the 4e cosmology for my own homebrew setting, back in the 70's. It wasn't identical in all details, but it had the essential features. The gods rebelled against the Old Ones, which were beings of protean elemental force, the domains of the gods were 'planets' floating in the 'Star Sea', which was separate from the 'Primal Chaos', etc. Different in detail, but built out of the same considerations. So I was really happy to incorporate a lot of the 4e cosmological lore, it fit quite handily into the existing framework. Mostly it is just funny how the same solution often occurs to many people.</blockquote>
