| - The Central Planes consist of Polaqu itself, and also the Ethereal Plane and Plane of Shadow. Polaqu itself functions exactly like the Material Plane in the core D&D cosmology, and the Ethereal Plane and Plane of Shadow function exactly like their counterparts in the Core D&D cosmology.
- Cosmology was the study of the structure of the universe. Albert Einstein based his theories on Dalek cosmology. (COMIC: City of the Daleks)
- In Garou cosmology, existence is comprised of a Triat: the Weaver, the Wyld, and the Wyrm. The Weaver is order, weaving the pattern webs of reality. However, the Weaver gained consciousness, and then went astray of its original purpose, weaving its patterns madly into the world. The Wyld is change, it is chaos. It avoided the pitfalls of consciousness, and continues to exert its influence on the world. However, it is forever being assaulted by the Wyrm. Originally in place to maintain a balance between Weaver and Wyld as a force of destruction -- which must happen before creation can continue -- the Wyrm too achieved consciousness, and became twisted by it. The Wyrm seeks to destroy the Wyld and is the embodiment of corruption and evil.
- The Fading Suns setting repeatedly makes reference via the mythologies of various races, to pre-historic events connected with the Annunaki and the creation of the universe. This article attempts to summarize relevant items as described in the different published materials, in the hopes of clarifying the intent behind this cosmology.
- Besides that, there are also some incorporeal worlds. These worlds work differently than the corporeal worlds and can't be given a set location as easily. These are the currently known incorporeal worlds:
* The Underworld
* The Shadow Realm
* The Spirit Realm
* The Afterlife
* The Dream World
* The Fremennik spiritual realm

- Cosmology is a branch of astronomy which studies the structure, origins, and space-time relationships of the universe. A cosmologist is one who studies this particular branch of science. Cosmology also refers to a branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature and origin of the universe.
- This is an overview of the Cosmology of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Each entry is followed by any alternate names, any roughly corresponding primary world name in parentheses, and a brief description. A question mark after the primary world name indicates that the identification may be partially speculative or disputed.
- Cosmology is the study of the cosmos—the structure, organization and composition of all that there is. What most people would call the "known universe" is labeled the Prime Material Plane. It holds the world of Toril, the moon, the sun, and extends out into space to the stars. How far out into space is a question of cosmology, and the answer may depend on what cosmological model is used to describe the Prime Material plane. But there are many other planes of existence, some very much like the Prime and some so alien that they almost defy description. Like other dimensions, these other planes may overlap, surround, or penetrate the Prime Material plane, or they may be connected by some mystic avenue, often requiring magic to explore. Together, all the various planes are usually referred to
- Cosmology is defined as the study of the origin, evolution and fate of the Universe. This can also be defined as physical cosmology, contrasting to religious cosmology which is a set of beliefs about spiritual realms as well as the origin of the Universe. Despite sharing many similarities in both their organizing structure and common elements and/or names, most cosmologies are independent and unrelated to each other. The idea that they could all describe the same thing from different points of view as also been purposed.
- Picture 3 nested spheres.
* The innermost sphere is the World of Darelth itself.
* The middle sphere is the celestial sphere, like the medieval and earlier cultures believed in. The sun, moon, and stars (all the heavens) are fixed to it.
* The outermost sphere is the elemental sphere. The elemental planes are fixed along the equator, and the two poles are the ethereal and shadow planes.
* Outside the sphere is the Void. Above the poles are the positive and negative energy planes.
- The world of Erwt that its inhabitants experience is the standard 3-dimensional space, and 1-dimensional time that moves inexorably towards the future. An event has a 4-dimensional coordinate: three space coordinates XYZ, plus the time coordinate T.
- The Solar System denotes that part of the Everlasting Void which is ruled by Heliod, the warm yellow star, lord and friend. Within the Solar System swim numerous planet like so many turtles running a slow race. One of these planets is Egeurod, called by the ancients Earth. The natural philosophers of the cosmogonic school say that the planets are the offspring of bright Heliod, whelped in immemorial ages past, or perhaps his brethren. Almost all of the planets of the Solar System support life; some native, some imported from star systems far beyond ours.
