* is the 'Silent Black' actually necessary? Isn't it either the Astral Sea or the Outer Madness? Does it add anything useful to our cosmology?
:* If we keep the Silent Black, does it open up the possibility that material planes which slide off the font could slide into the Astral Sea instead of inevitably sliding into the Outer Madness? Is there more than one fate for a dying material plane?  Could it end up in both places?




are you reading my mind!?  :D  I literally had the exact same thought after I put that in and was going to ask you about it. I think we probably should allow this, and this then becomes the motivation for the Crool, trying to push universes into the Sea rather than add yet more Atropals.
'cosmic roadmap'


sounds good.


* another question I have: are the font and the nascent seed the same thing, or two different lenses shining in concordance on the 'hot spot' that is the Prime?
From the prime material,


cast
ethereal Jaunt or etherealness to reach the ethereal plane


in my thinking, they are two things, each a reflection of the other.  now, do they create the prime, or are they created by the prime?  i'd leave that open, mystery is good for creativity :)
Shadow Walk to reach the plane of shadow


okay, I mostly agree that some ambiguity is useful here, since 'solving' the cosmos in our game is only going to limit creativity... however, since we've already warned players away from reading the page, giving prospective GM's enough to visualize the cosmology should be the goal.
plane shift or gate to reach any other material plane: inner planes (elemental, energy) outer planes (wards, lateral materials)


Re: font and nascent seed being different things, this section seems to say otherwise: [[Cosmology_of_Creation#The_Well_of_Power]].
astral projection to create astral self to reach the astral plane, and from there, you can reach anywhere else (making an avatar body as detailed in the spell)
 
actually entering  the astral 'for reals' requires very high-level goodies (spelljammers? Aether Flyers?)

'cosmic roadmap'


From the prime material,

cast ethereal Jaunt or etherealness to reach the ethereal plane

Shadow Walk to reach the plane of shadow

plane shift or gate to reach any other material plane: inner planes (elemental, energy) outer planes (wards, lateral materials)

astral projection to create astral self to reach the astral plane, and from there, you can reach anywhere else (making an avatar body as detailed in the spell)

actually entering the astral 'for reals' requires very high-level goodies (spelljammers? Aether Flyers?)
