[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 9331465, member: 6786252"] Here's something to chew on. Avarandor, the Land of Dreams, is the original Feywild, dominating the Chaotic Good position in the Great Wheel cosmology (though it also bears more than a bit of the NG Beastlands as well). Limbo (chaotic neutral) is just the Outer Plane version of the Elemental Planes - it might be known for gith and froggos, but it is filled with elementals, giants and dragons as well - elemental beings of all stripes. And the Abyss, well, its right below Limbo. Hades (Neutral Evil) has effectively been merged into the Shadowfell along with Plane of Shadow and Ravenloft. Then, moving up into the 4e Astral Sea, we have the Nine Hells as a domain. The domain of the god of civilization, which is a giant city of mechanical precision - sounds a bit like a 4e Mechanus. Swing up a bit to touch on Celestia... We've got Tiamat's home floating around, though separated from the Hells. The Eternal battlefield between the goblinoid god of conquest (LE) and the orc god is here as well. (edit- its not perfect, since there's a lot of traditionally chaotic-aligned stuff here - elf god, carceri the prison, orc god, snek god, though they all have been nudged more towards neutral than chaotic here) While there are [I]some[/I] differences, The World Axis is really just the Outer Planes circling the Material instead of the Outlands. The Astral Sea is generally Lawful (with a few notable exceptions), the Elemental Chaos is, well, Chaotic. Feywild is the Positive Energy / Goodly plane, while the Shadowfell is the, well, its a combination of all the "evil / undead" planes. [/QUOTE]
