[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 9856407, member: 710"] Ever since I saw the 4E cosmology, I liked it the most and am mostly taking that as a base assumption for my ideas. I think the main reason is that I really like the Feywild and the Shadowfell. I generally vastly prefer the ideas of designing any planes as plausible adventuring locations, like the Elemental Chaos instead of having an Elemental Plane of Fire or Plane of Negative or Positive Energy. But the Feywild and Shadowfell just feel the best among them, some sort of distorted mirrors of the real world. So your idea of a Mirror World cosmology appeals to me, too. Maybe food for thought. Though currently I am running a Hexxen 1773 game, and the cosmology there isn't very prominently facing the players. I might run a Diamond Throne/Arcana Evolved campaign, in which I'll adopt some of the 4E cosmology. Though domains aren't places with gods, becaus gods are distant (or, maybe, they are frozen in the Eternal Frost, as some adventure hint in the Arcana Evolved book implise). Angelic beings exist there, and the idea is that the Angels, Demons and Devils were once servants of the gods, but they kinda "left". The afterlife is still not known, but souls might spend some (unfortunate?) time with the demons or devils if they are unlucky. [/QUOTE]
