The World Axis
The worlds, planes, and the magical Weave that flows between them all is called the Arch.
Since time immemorial, the Arch was arranged as an axis. The Prime was at the center, with the Fundamental Planes and the Parallel Planes rotating around it.
After the Starfire Calamity , there was a great shattering of the Arch. Planes were ripped from reality and thrown into the nothingness of space-time. The gods were helpless to save it - the end was here. Yet, something happened. The Arch rearranged itself. The cosmology warped and changed until the Great Wheel was born.
The Prime was the nexus. It was the beating heart at the elemental and philosophical center of this new Great Wheel. The Echoes, Inner Planes, and Outer Planes all formed from the remains of the World Axis - with Sigil remaining the central node of travel in the multiverse.

There is an energy that permeates the multiverse known as magic. For ages, scholars and sages have tried to make sense of this powerful energy. Yet they've only scratched the surface. The pattern of this magic in the multiverse is called the Weave. One source of this energy is the gods and their divine magic. This source is what kept the rest of the Weave guided and stable.
Then the Starfire Calamity changed everything.
The Weave, once guided by divine magic, is now free...and dangerous. Practitioners of magic see the new raw power of it. They experience the inherent changes and danger it brings to any who would attempt to wield it.
