The Fallen Realms

[Flinty]

The home of the Strix is probably some form of lower depth within mage terminology.

Yes. I just named it Dis when I mentioned it with Lower Depths... Birds of Dis, etc.

[espritdecalmar]

Summoners also mentions a place of pure Matter, whence come those weird planes that bestow gifts on those who perform the proper sacrifice.

Seattle has timeline splinters, which could easily exist elsewhere as well.

You could potentially count the Skein as another realm too, though that's more of a case of changelings and mages interacting with the dreaming world in different ways.

[Tessie]

The Skein does not fit in with the mages' model of the Astral. It might be a fifth Astral Realm, though. I believe DaveB has suggested (which is not the same as claiming) that the Skein could be for Dreamspace and Oneiroi what the Gauntlet is for Flesh and Shadow. Werewolves simply pass right through the Gauntlet but mages can visit it as a realm. Mages simply pass right through the barrier between dreams and the Astral proper, but perhaps changelings can visit it as a realm?

Where do Morpheans come from? Astral or Arcadia?

They don’t come from the Astral, they reside there as a function of their lichdom.

I vaguely remember Morpheans being something else in Changeling.

[Satchel]

I vaguely remember Morpheans being something else in Changeling.

They're godlike dream-entities encountered in the Skein; all three of the examples Dancers in the Dusk gives are explicitly or implicitly cast as separate beings from the True Fae.

[Flinty]

There's also two kind of Morpheans in mage, the astral liches allready mentioned and a kind of astral entity that comes from the oneiros of a person (details are in Summoners)

One more question. I had an idea about a realm/world similar to Ravenloft + world from Dark Souls + CofD... where would you locate a place like that in Telurian? My guess is Lower Depths, but that begs a question of what does a realm like that lack, since almost every realm in Lower Depths is missing something that it desperately needs to obtain/eat/devour

Life? Most of the people of Ravenloft were taken from another world, right? It could lack basically anything that relies on humanity. If you want to get specific you might go for tragedy, dread, or angst, though. Everyone there is tortured or afraid.

Of course you have a place for such a thing to already exist, in Arcadia.

You could just make that a mystery and decide later. I plan on putting a Narnia/Filliory analogue in my setting that mages will find and be able to get to but I've not tied it to any known realm yet.

Hi there. Is this M:tA 1ed Map of the Cosmos still okay. Or are there adjustments to make?

[Tessie]

Neither of them were accurate in 1e either.

Due to the (delightfully) sandboxy nature of the NWod, I doubt we will ever be able to make these 'accurate' per say. Too many questions exist about exactly what is what, with the answers shrouded in murky mystery, the Truth known only by fickle, potent gods of trickery and creation (IE, the average Mage Storyteller).

I would submit though that both maps can be said to be "Okay" for use in play though, since they do a decent job of visualising the core aspects of the cosmology in a clever, eye catching way. I actually had not seen that pencil drawn one before, thank you for sharing it (I currently use the other in my Roll20 game). Both would work great as in universe documents players could discover, perhaps each lays out the particular perspectives of a different clan of planehopping explorers, who meet up to have bitter debates about the exact relationship between Yggdrasil and the Primal Wyld.

On a 'nitpicky' note, I'm not sure about how map 1 displays Emanation realms. My understanding is that many different ones exist, and the ones displayed here are just examples, but the map makes it look like only 5 exist.
