Given the good feedback, I'll detail this "new" cosmology of mine in a small series of blogs. After a little intro that explains a bit of what I did with this cosmology in the latest blog, I will then delve into the concept of Elders and how they (can) mingle with the Fey.
While the previous blog was more of a "lore" article, now I'm doing more of a "designer's notes". So what about the planes? As you may have noticed, my cosmology draws heavily from 4e, more than from the Great Wheel. It is aimed at explaining things more rationally than the classic cosmology, even 4e's, so fitting in the aligned planes and the "wheel" schematic is a bit weird IMO.

Here's what I came up with, three...

It's very easy to explain/demonstrate my theory... Check the description of Zutwa from Arcane Power: Zutwa: An ancient being of manifest life force, Zutwa was a towering figure as large as a mountain, composed of bark, boughs, grass, leaves, and petals. Its limpid eyes of liquid green could spawn life in barren soil or dead tissue, or deprive earth and flesh of vitality. Zutwa gave up its existence to defeat a primordial of manifest dissolution. Even as a vestige, Zutwa’s energy seems inexhaustible to those who make a pact with it. Now check the photos
I know the last one is barely visible, so for the ones of you that didn't watch the movie, the "elemental", defined a "giver of life and a destroyer" and a "forest god", erupts a giant flower from its head when it dies, and fills the ... |
