Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khisanth the Ancient" data-source="post: 5038216" data-attributes="member: 11368">DimensionsSince the next being, probably the next couple of beings, I post will be dimensions based, here's an outline of how the dimensions in this cosmology differ from the Immortal's Handbook standard.-Entropy is not a separate dimension; it is instead a separate plane within the same dimension as the Material Plane (represented by an Old One rather than First One). The 9th Dimension is gone, being destroyed, and the 8th and 10th dimensions have therefore merged into one.1st and 2nd Dimensions  ("Matter") - Death and Fate: Similar to Assiah in the 'standard' cosmology, but that the Material Plane is not the only plane associated with it, merely the most populous and largest. Other planes associated with this dimension include the not-plane of Entropy, a selection of pocket universes created from the Material Plane by powerful magic, etc.3rd and 4th Dimensions ("Time") - Change and Probability:  Almost identical to Yetzirah as portrayed in the 'standard' cosmology; but note the inclusion of the 3rd dimension means that sufficient vertical travel is effectively dimensional travel. In normal mortal life this is not very important, but climbing very high mountains (Goel's Height at 17 miles or the higher Saxivare mountains at 15-18 miles would suffice - all comparable to Olympus on Mars) will make the effects noticeable (time will pass at somewhat altered rates - affecting things like natural healing, hunger, etc. as one travels), and they will be extremely important if any kind of space travel is attempted (one will be popping in and out of various Transitive Planes many times per Astronomical Unit traveled unless care is taken [and powerful magic used] to remain in one).5th and 6th Dimensions ("Being") - Element and Spirit: The only change from Briah and Atziluth as presented in the Epic Bestiary is that they are here two sides of the same coin rather than inherently separate realities.7th and Nth Dimensions ("Enlightenment") - Thought and Beyond: As presented in the Bestiary for Arupadhatu/The Far Place and Nth Space. These are the bleeding edges of reality where the edges of the Demiurge's universe collide with the shifting waves of the outer reality of Muzaloth.8th Dimension ("Infinity") The only unpaired dimension. With the destruction of the 9th Dimension by Xochipactli, the 8th and 10th Dimensions fused into one. The Akashic library is now more a facet of Muzaloth (and a separate plane associated with it) than a true dimension.First Ones: 1st/2nd - Cipactli (the Circle Complete [Ouroboros associations etc.]; cosmic level intelligent Tarrasque-thing) 3rd/4th - Kalanas (the Weaver of the Webs of Time; universe's most powerful spellcaster)5th/6th - Axos (the Balancer; represents all cosmic oppositions)7th/Nth - Quatahin (the Madness Beyond; terrifying mutated monster, itself mutagenic to others)Transcosmic Titans*: 8th - Pleroma9th - Xanou [now undead]*the lower dimensions are represented/embodied by First Ones. But the higher dimensions are beyond a single universe and so should be represented by Eternal level entities. I've created the tentative term 'Transcosmic Titans' to represent them.</blockquote>
