This is some awesome stuff! I especially love the merging of the Blind Eternities with the Far Realm; I've always felt the Far Realm was kind of tacked-on in the Great Wheel cosmology, but combining it with the Blind Eternities makes perfect sense and justifies its presence in a way that was previously lacking. (Also, "Blind Eternities" is a way better name than "Far Realm.")

That was the epiphany that sparked this thread.
The Gates of Firestorm Peak think the term Far Realm is just fine.
Blind eternities isn't to bad though....

Awesome idea. Consider me inspired. Never liked the Wheel. What is the image in the background?
Let me research, I am fairly certain its a colorized version of a section of the milky way that the aztec used as a constellation.

Cool Thanks
Found this. Opens up new possibilities: Our Milky Way galaxy grows by eating other galaxies.
The Milky Way ate another galaxy, and we can still see the undigested bits
The Milky Way galaxy ate a decently sized galaxy ten billion years ago, and its stars still orbit the galaxy, detected by the Gaia observatory.

That is cool, maybe the fantasy galaxy we use is being eaten by one with different laws of physics, i.e. a "Far Realm" incident.

This thread is great! In my current Eberron game, my players just discovered a crashed elven spelljammer, and repaired the damaged helm. Now they've got a functioning airship, at the least, with the possibility of travelling the multiverse. The OP inspired me to create the following image, something I plan on showing my players if/when they decide to leave Eberron.

That is very sexy. Looks like a close up of molecules.
