RETCON NOTE: This post replaces both the majority of "Planes of Monvesia: The Six Spheres" and portions of "Planar Inhabitants of Monvesia"The planar cosmology of Monvesia is not as complex as traditional D&D campaign settings. In this setting, six Spheres form the basis of known cosmology. The two-dimensional model of the Spheres as presented by the Universal Orders in Communion with Dray is inaccurate. The Spheres should be considered in three-dimensional space, overlapping each other so that they connect at a single point. This is the basic cosmological structure of the Monvevian campaign setting.
Each Sphere is a meta-plane encompassing smaller planes They are the fundamental energies of the cosmos, embodying the six Temperaments and their associated Elemental forces:
- Hierosphere, or Altruist Sphere
- Necrosphere, or Nihilist Sphere
- Aerosphere, or Idealist Sphere
- Lithosphere, or Materialist Sphere
- Pyrosphere, or Vitalist Sphere
- Hydrosphere, or Dynamist Sphere
Orbimond, the Material Plane
Plane of Six SpheresThe [Prime] Material Plane (or Mortal World/Realms) exists at the point where all six Spheres meet. It is the only point in the cosmos where opposing Spheres come in contact. Many mages and philosophers have suggested that it is this contact of opposing forces that has made life possible. The other planes radiate out from this point, affected by the interactions of the Spheres.
In is called Orvemondt in the Honderreicher language, and Orbemonde in the Cuorrian language.
Artificers, Bards, Druids, and Rangers all draw their energy from the Material Plane. The inhabitants of this plane are collectively called mortals--including beasts, dragons, humanoids, and monstrosities.
