==Note to Players and Referees==
: '''''Note: Players wanting the 'purest' experience, with maximum mystery and all the surprises, should Skip This!  Nothing here bears directly on any mechanic you will use in a combat.  The Devils and Demons and things that go bump in the Night will be perfect surprises, and if that is what you like, then stop reading here.''
This Cosmology section is simply here to provide you with an understanding of the way Epic Path has been constructed.  This is most evident in the Spells and Monsters sections of the rules. 
 
If you want the 'purest' experience, with maximum mystery and all the surprises, then by all means, Skip This!  Nothing here bears directly on any mechanic you will use in a combat.  The Devils and Demons and things that go bump in the Night will be perfect surprises, and if that is what you like, then stop reading here.
 
If you are curious as to how the Game Designers decided to 'hook everything together', then by all means, read on!  Just be aware that this may make things less of a surprise later. 
 
You Have Been Warned.
 
==Over-arching Cosmology==


First, last, and forever, there is the Astral Plane. The Astral Plane, the Silver Sea, the Forever Endeavor, is the true, utterly unending and Infinite (in the third meaning of Infinity) Place.  All else is contained within, or is a dark reflection of, the Astral Plane.
