this are the works I am writing. please pardon any spelling errors, I am writing in a tablet with a very finicky auto correct, bear with me.
one thing I noticed about this site is the great deal of extra planes, and no definite guide or listing of them. I am going to start out with my own, but if you want your world on this list, PM me with a GOOD description, and I will send you a rough draft of the entry. I'm not on very often because of school, so expect delays in that front, but I respond quickly to tell you if I'm working on it.
hopefully I can get a picture in soon, and pages up, but until then just a list will have to do. as well as a brief explanation of the cosmology.
all planes are connected to at least one of the foundation planes. the foundation plane are associated with the most basic forms of matter and energy, like fire or water.
the base planes are planes connected with multiple of the foundation planes. while there are only 4 foundation planes, there are countless base planes, as each one is unique in its concentration of raw elemental essence, received from the foundation planes. for example, a base plane made out of stone and air might be made out of primarily crystal, or sand depending on the concentration of air to earth.
next in the planar hierarchy are the central planes or median planes. these are the conducive to life, as opposed to elementals, or celestials. this is because of the location of them in the multiverse, situated equidistant from the foundation planes, source of matter, like earth or water, and the astral planes, source of concepts, like thought and mechanics.
the universe is central in the multiverse, as it is comprised of all the elements, and their combinations, and all the concepts of the astral planes in equal parts.
the astral plane is different from anything on this list, in that, where the lower planes what for the most part separate, the astral planes are nothing more than islands gathered together, in a vast void, similar to space. one key difference is that there is air in the void. most scholars of the planes believe that the reason that the astral planes are connected in one larger plane, is that the general abstracted nature of the concepts of the planes allowed for a larger plane to form around them. I believe quite the opposite however, that they were once one massive plane that fractured due to the elevated concentration of concepts in a general area, that eventually reached critical mass, and fractured off of the central plane, until there was nothing left.
ignus- plane of fire, foundation plane. home of certain elementals and source of most forms of fire.
aquas- plane of water, foundation plane. home of certain elementals and all forms of water.
terra- plane of earth, foundation plane. home of certain elementals and most forms of stone and all sources of metal and minerals.
ventus- plane of air, foundation plane. home of certain elementals and all gas not produced by other elements I.e. smoke or stream.
The Hazard Accord is a massive spell, and is made of two parts, the first, designed to stop errant walkers from accidentally stepping into planes that would kill, or otherwise hurt them, the second part is designed to stop things from walking out of planes that would like to spread evil

plane of fire]
The foundation plane of fire, or Ignus, is the commonly held as the source of fire and heat in the multiverse. What is slightly less know is that it is that this foundation plane is responsible for most chemical reactions as well, including oxidation, and cellular respiration. Life is possible where ever the astral plane of life touches, but it is made much easier in realms where Ignus touches. Life without fire is hard, and almost never progresses to sentience, mostly subsisting on a primitive form of photovoltaic energy.
Because chemical reactions do not occur without at least a tenuous connection to the plane of fire, metals do not rust, so some artificers use a demiplane without a connection to the plane of fire to store metal objects, or explosives, for long periods of time. However, although the lack of chemical reactions makes storage easy, it makes retrieval extremely dangerous, as the biochemical reactions in any errant Walker to step into the plane would die, as their blood would be unable to transfer oxygen to cells. Thus, these planes are locked down under the Hazard Accord, except for a few walkers.
