[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 8731138, member: 6788732"] I don't currently have any concept of how large my homebrew campaign setting is. I have had fun coming up with mythic history because every good pantheon needs a war or two in its past, mine has the war between celestials and fiends, the turning point coming when the immortals, a race of celestials captured the cornerstones of reality and ascended to godhood, turning back the fiends and casting them back to the lower planes. Once this great war was over, they looked to the mortal realm and saw a great war between dragons, elementals, and titans (former immortals who gained power through the elements). The gods intervened to save the mortal realm, sending the primordials back to the elemental planes, putting the dragon elders to sleep beneath the earth, and imprisoning their wayward brothers and sisters. I'm not using the great wheel in this setting, Sigil might still exist, but as a crossroads city with a different master, or the same master but different in power. The celestial planes is really just one, the same with the lower planes. Demons and devils is just a different term for fiends, you can find balors with pit fiends in the dominion of the 9 hells, both serving the lords of the nine, just as you could find them serving one of the many independent Abyssal lords.
