Hi all,
Since the "Search the Forum" option is not active...
I was wondering if any of you found out how the new cosmology is reviewing the following:

1) the prime material plane(s) and the mirror worlds

What is now a setting? FR, Eberron, all other supported settings, what are in the big picture?
I am wondering it because of the existence of the mirror planes Feywild and Shadowfell. What do they mimic?

2) does anybody said something about Sigil?

I would be upset if they eliminate Sigil. Is it now just an astral floating stuff?

By the way, I still can't find a comprehensive explaination of some of the things you are all discussing in some other threads. For exemple, do we know how and why Mystra is dead (again)?

Bye and thanks!

As I see it, there's no big picture as it had been in 2nd Ed. There's Eberron, there's Faerûn, there's Dragonlance and there's Greyhawk, but they all share nothing in common, except that they are played with the D&D rules mechanics.

The mirror planes mirror the material plane of the setting you play in. That is, IF the setting you play in does have the mirror planes. For example, Eberron likely won't.
