How does angel rank work?
I know a bit about the ranks starting with the three Deva types, Planetars and Solars.
A Monadic Diva can eventually become an Astral Diva, which I think turns into a Planetar and then if one of the 24 Solars ever falls, would be replaced by a Planetar...maybe?
I think I need to contact a sage here and see how this works. |

A lot of crystal spheres have millions of stars... But it's uncommon that those stars are actually burning balls of gas. In Realmspace, for example, the stars are portals to the quasi-elemental plane of Radiance.
I've not deeply perused my Spelljammer material recently, but I do not recall mention of any spheres that contain more than one solar system.
Part of the design objective, with the setting, was to be able to explain things like Krynn's disappearing constellations, without having these things affect other worlds. So, one solar system per sphere, isolating everything, and allowing for all sorts of localized shenanigans. |

That's pretty much my spin. My theory is that each crystal sphere -- which is one solar system -- is it's own layer of the Prime. |

Master Rupert,

I tend to agree with you here. The amount of work that would be on the plates of just (24) Solar would be insane. I think your example makes a lot of sense.
Best regards,

24 is a too low for a number of solars in the multiverse, should be thousands at least

A lot of that comes from Planescape lore. I'm not an expert on that kinda stuff myself, but I know that's the place to start looking. |
