[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 2528301, member: 19990"] Hey, Knight OTU, could you expound on that cosmology a bit? I know it makes sense to you, but when I try to visualize it, I see several "centers" (either that, or the Material Plane is getting blasted by streams of matter from every which way!) So, I think you've got the EnWorld disk in the center, with an energy "ring" around it, and "below" that the "energy plane". Streams "drop" from the ring to the "energy plane", which looks (from "above", from the direction of the materal plane) like a big yin-yang symbol. There's a "positive dot" in the midst of the negative part of the plane, and a "negative dot" in the midst of the positive part of the plane, again, just like a yin-yang symbol. And each "dot" is a "citadel" or adventure location, or at least something a little more defined than just "swirls of energy". First, does that make sense and seem close to how you visualize the material, elemental, and energy planes? If so, what is the ENWorphant "walking" on? Nothing? The energy plane? Another part of the material plane? Just trying to visualize all this. Second, how are the outer planes oriented? "Outside" of the elemental planes? Or "outside" of (surrounding) the energy plane? Or does it even matter? Finally, where is the neutral plane? It would seem to make sense that it is somehow "between" all the outer planes, but it seems like all the real estate "between" the outer planes is spoken for. Or maybe the ENWorphant "walks" on the neutral plane... Anyway, this is a discussion that's been dormant for a long time, and since sooner or later someone's going to want to run an EnWorld "planar" adventure, I thought it would be good to ressurrect it.
