The Inner planes were the six major elemental planes (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Positive Energy, Negative Energy), the four para-elemental planes (Smoke, Ice, Ooze, Magma), and the eight quasi-elemental planes (Lightning, Steam, Radiance, Minerals, Vacuum, Salt, Ash, Dust). Interconnectivity of the planes in the Great Wheel model. The Outer planes, also called the Planes of Power, were 16 planes arranged in a circle (the Great Wheel) defined mainly by alignment and surrounding a 17th neutral plane known as the Outlands. The Prime Material plane touched both the Astral plane and its Ethereal plane, though these planes did not touch one another. Then came the Astral plane which connected the worlds in the Prime Material plane to each other (bypassing the phlogiston) and also to the last sphere, the Outer planes. Outside of the Prime and Ethereal were the Inner planes, also called the Elemental planes, which had their own structure based on a sphere. In the center was the Prime Material plane containing the phlogiston with the crystal spheres and worlds within, surrounded by an Ethereal plane (misty realms of proto-matter). The Great Wheel cosmology consisted of a series of somewhat concentric spheres. Of the three, the Great Wheel model remained the most commonly used however, it was modified to include the planes discovered after the Spellplague. During this time, the cosmology as a whole did not require a name other than "the Planes" or "the Multiverse," as there were no formally named alternatives yet.īy the late years of the 15 th century DR, some sages began to use again the Great Wheel cosmology model, while other sages preferred to use the World Tree or the World Axis models. By the Time of Troubles, the terms "Great Wheel" or "Great Ring" meant the Outer Planes only. The actual term "Great Wheel" did not mean the cosmology as a whole until the development of the World Tree cosmology in 1372 DR.

In fact, a number of alliances existed between the gods of Toril and those of other worlds, for example, between Mystra and Wee Jas of Oerth, as well as a plot by a god of Toril ending up involving the gods of Krynn. Thus it was that Lliira and the Greek goddess Hecate could feud over the love of the Sumerian god Enki and work at a pleasure palace operated by the Aztec gods Xochipilli and Tlazoteotl. The Great Wheel was described as a complex, comparatively cosmopolitan place in which the gods of many worlds and pantheons mingled, the beliefs of many faiths and peoples bleeding together in a set of Outer Planes shaped predominantly by the polar forces of Law, Chaos, Good, and Evil.

The Great Wheel cosmology was the prevalent cosmological model in which the world of Toril was said to exist during the mid-14 th century DR and the post- Second Sundering era.
