Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hriston" data-source="post: 9857764" data-attributes="member: 6787503">I have a default cosmology I draw on (as DM) if it comes up in-game, like, for example, if a monster with a particular planar origin is encountered. It's a mash up of the Great Wheel and the cosmology of the legendarium of JRR Tolkien along with some stuff from Western esotericism.There are five broad regions of the cosmos, each corresponding to one of the classical elements plus a fifth "void" element.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Fire - the Positive Plane, along with its counterpart, the Negative Plane, is outside of time and space. It is a plane of pure spirit (radiance) and the source of all creative and spiritual energy that animates the created world and all living things.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Void - the Negative Plane is the yin to the Positive Plane's yang. It is a vast emptiness that lies outside the created world which was formed within it at the beginning of time.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Air - the Astral Plane (including the Outer Planes) is a realm of conscious thought which forms the "uppermost" layer of the created world.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Water - the Ethereal Plane (including the Elemental Planes, Feywild, and Shadowfell) is a realm of emotion and sensation. It is "midmost" and surrounds the Material Plane on all sides.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Earth - the Material Plane is the universe of physical reality we see around us - the "lowest" level of the created world. </li> </ol></blockquote>
