Map of the AD&D 2e Cosmology, v2.0

[Klaus van der Kroft]

Hey guys!

About a year ago I made a map of the AD&D 2e cosmology, trying to put together planes, crystal spheres, world, pseudoplanes, etc, in a single chart, sticking exclusively to canonical AD&D 2e material (chiefly Planescape and Spelljammer, where most of the cosmology is presented, but also bits and pieces from smaller settings for further detail when necessary). It was a very basic chart, and it had some errors, as well as some oversights, and for a while I've been wanting to make a new version. So I've been toying around with a different style which adds both a bit more colour and a clearer presentation.

In order to make work easier, I'm currently drawing individual elements separate from each other, and once they are done I'll put them all together and draw the connections (such as phlogiston flows between crystal spheres, as well as transitive planes, coterminous connections, etc).

This is the original chart:

And this are the parts so far, including the 18 inner planes, 51 crystal spheres (still missing the Astromundi Cluster and Nuspace, though), and 52 worlds without known crystal sphere location. Interestingly, this has allowed me to finally determine the extent of the AD&D Multiverse: 234 individual known worlds spread across 53 known crystal spheres, and all that contained within merely one of the 36 planes of existence (plus countless demiplanes floating away in the Ethereal).
