Aye, admittedly, I don't know much about fey. But the courts are never mentioned in FR. It's hard to say and I'd probably have to agree with Iron and lean toward them not existing. The Feywilds main religion is supposedly the Seldarine too... so... I'd almost be inclined to say the fey probably mostly worship the Seldarine in FR if anyone.

So how big is the separation of police and state? I'm only after information that would be fairly general knowledge to your educated Cordorian.

Does that answer your question about the separation of police and state?

House of Knowledge
Although Oghma himself is a true neutral god his home plane is a celestial plane and prior to the Spellplague bordered Dweomerheart and House of Triad below and the Golden Hills above, with which it maintained a portal.

1. Chessenta. Several city-states in the region. The North and Heartlands (Archendale), to a lesser and less organized extent. In Chessenta, he's viewed in a grimmer light than in the North, where his dominion over poetic justice and irony is emphasized.

2. He's a human god. Obviously, humans. He's also mentioned as a typical Half-Orc deity in Races of Faerûn. I bet some Half-Elves have reason to worship him, too. Any other race, if they've lived in human culture, but that's generally uncommon.

3. See Powers &Pantheons. It's contents can be found online, but I don't guarantee 100% accuracy:

Lore questions about skin color;

In RL caucasians that don't go out in the sunlight are really pale. In NWN Drow, Duegar, Deep Gnomes & etc have dark skin. Does the lack of sunlight work differently on humanoids in NWN giving them dark skin instead of pale skin? Would a caucasian Hin that never goes out into daylight have dark or pale skin?

Would a caucasian Hin that never goes out into daylight have dark or pale skin?

Can somebody explain to me how the different campaign settings in DnD work together, if they even do. Are they all in one universe/world?

Amia is set in FR but I've seen toons that come from Sigil, which I think comes from Planescape(?). Can monster/PCs/deities cross over from one campaign to another? Would PCs know of the existence of these different worlds?

I'm also looking for lore on Modrons... Thanks!

So no Warforged or Li-Lung Dragon Disciples.

The Great Wheel contains the Outer Planes, such as Celestia, Ysgard, Baator, the Abyss, and the Outlands. The planar city of Sigil is found in the Outlands, and is the main locale in Planescape.

Nope, there is a Sigil. It's even been used in DM events in the past. Sounds like you might be thinking of a Yggdrasil-style cosmology, but I don't know which, if any, setting uses that. Then again, WotC and TSR tended to swap stuff like that around from edition to edition.

Pirates on Amia? or any pirate lore would be helpful.. I'm wanting my new character to have grown up in a pirate ship or from a port town.. I was thinking Luskan. Very wealthy also..basically a young bratty girl.

I know that FR uses the Great Tree and River of Blood (not the wheel), and I know that Amia has Sigil, but I couldn't find any reference to Sigil or the Outlands in the Player' Guide to Faerun and they have a map of FR cosmology ... can you please tell me what book you're getting the information from so I can read it? I find the planes very interesting.

In the timeline, we're around late 1373 or early 1374, but it's not set in stone. When it comes to cosmology, we use a mixture of the Tree and the Wheel. That's about the only thing that's relevant In Character.

1. The Forgotten Realms Cosmology (2ed. To 3ed.)

The following illustrates the changes made to the cosmological model of the planes for the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting from 2e to 3e.

We will begin with the planar framework as it was during the days of 2e. In this model, the cosmology is defined by the existence of only ONE Prime Material Plane and the planar cosmology that connects to it -- referred as the Great Wheel (or Ring). This Prime Material Plane was the basis of the entire AD&D game and followed the framework established by the 1e/2e Manual of the Planes. Along the Great Wheel lay the planes of deities, devils, demons, celestials, and nearly every other strange planar race. These planes could be accessed using the Astral Plane which connected to most Outer Plane locations. Although there was only one Prime Material Plane, the plane itself was considered an INFINITE expanse encompassing thousands of singular planetary systems which were encased in Crystal Spheres (usually defined as a standard system containing all the planets, suns, comets and other planetary phenomena within it). Examples of such Crystal Spheres include the Torilian system, the Krynnish system, the solar system of Oerth and the GREYHAWK campaign setting, and nearly every other AD&D campaign world (special note: the RAVENLOFT setting was actually a demiplane within the Ethereal plane of 2e, along with many other demiplanes). Travel to and from these individual crystal spheres was made possible via a transitive planar-like environment known as the Phlogiston -- PCs could access new Crystal Spheres using a spelljamming helm which made travel on the Phlogiston available to characters.

Also included among the planes of the Great Wheel were the Elemental Planes (or Inner Planes). These planes could be accessed by planar travellers through the Ethereal plane. These planes are very specific environments each of which were based on one of the particular prime elements (earth, air, fire and water) necessary for life. Included with these four prime elemental planes were the Energy Planes -- being the Positive and Negative Energy Planes. The final components of the Elemental Planes were the Para- and Quasi- Elemental Planes, each of which were basic combinations of two inner planes. The Para-Elemental Planes were paired combinations of each of the prime elemental planes, and the Quasi-Elemental Planes were paired combinations of one prime elemental plane and either the Positive or Negative Energy plane. There were six for each category.

With the publishing of the core D&D 3e game system, the cosmology framework was altered. The greatest change was to give each 3e campaign setting a complete and separate a planar cosmology all its own. The Great Wheel would still remain, but would only be connected to the core setting of the D&D game -- that being GREYHAWK. The FORGOTTEN REALMS world was one of the campaign settings to be given its own planar framework (known as the Great Tree [detailed in the Player's Guide to Faerun]) which is actually quite different from most other cosmologies of most campaign worlds. One further change was to give each campaign setting its own Prime Material Plane. As such, the multiverse could potentially contain hundreds, thousands, or even millions of individual Prime Material Planes, each of which would have their own individual planar networks connected to them ONLY. To simplify this a little, this means that there could now be more than one standard version of a deity or plane (for example, there are now hundreds of Seldarine courts each of which are related only to a particular campaign setting), whereas in 2e, the Seldarine on the Great Wheel was the Seldarine that the FORGOTTEN REALMS and GREYHAWK settings could relate to.

The Elemental Planes of the 3e FORGOTTEN REALMS Great Tree cosmology are composed of the four prime Elemental Planes (earth, air, fire and water), the Para-Elemental Planes (see the Kezef entry in Champions of Ruin), and the two Energy Planes (positive and negative).

Aside from all of this, is the case for Sigil, the City of Doors. In the 2e PLANESCAPE campaign setting, the City of Doors rested at the peak of the infinitely tall Spire centred in the Outlands (the basis of the Great Wheel cosmology). In 3e, Sigil does still exist as the City of Doors, but it now occupies a completely separate planar environment all its own inside the Great Wheel of the 3e D&D core cosmology. What is special about this individual plane inside the Great Wheel (and atop the Spire) is that the independent nature of the plane in which Sigil rests allows this Sigil to be the only Sigil in the entire multiverse -- thus, the Sigil of the Great Wheel is also the Sigil of the Great Tree for the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting.

And finally, the Ethereal and Astral Planes allow access to all the planes in the Great Tree -- as does the Shadow Plane (which is now a transitive plane and allows PCs to access alternate Prime Material Planes and their cosmologies). In addition, an expanse known as the Infinite Staircase can also act as a transitive "plane" of sorts that also allows access to other regions of the multiverse. Of special consideration at this point is the fact that a number of the planes of gods from the 2e Great Wheel cosmology have no basis or representation in the 3e Great Tree cosmology of the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting. Also, the original domains of the gods on the planes of the 2e Great Wheel are now recognised as full and proper planes in the 3e Great Tree -- complete and stable environments under the control of the deity that resides there. So basically, the Abyss - as it is conceptualised in the GREYHAWK campaign setting - is NOT the same as the Abyss as conceptualised in the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting.

We are speaking of interplanar influence, though. Tiamat, for example, may die in Realmspace but continue life in another cosmology/setting, and may not return to Realmspace or grant any powers until certain conditions (specified by Ao, supposedly) are met - in practice, his worship re-established. Mishakal, Hieronymous or the Lady of Pain have no power whatsoever in Realmspace, unless Ao gives them permission.
