Sample Cosmological Shapes

Source GameMastery Guide pg. 167
The overarching structure by which individual planes are connected to each other can take any form. Below are merely a few suggestions.

Nested spheres or shells, with each plane a new onionlike layer.
A great wheel with planes linked to form the rim or emerging from the central hub of the Material Plane like spokes.
A mobius strip connecting all the planes, similar to the great wheel, save that the mobius strip may be twisted to bring distant planes closer together.
A world-tree whose roots and branches provide conduits between worlds.
Islands in an ocean of chaos, or mountaintops poking above the clouds, beneath which lies the underworld.
A living creature, with the planes forming its limbs or carried on its back.
