One aspect of Urbis with plenty of room left over to develop is the Cosmology (http://eruvian.com/locale.asp?localeID=590) of the setting (stroll down past the bits about deities). The linked article explains it all in more detail, but basically each Outer Plane (http://eruvian.com/locale.asp?localeID=591) consists of a mixture of two non-opposed cosmic forces. Ten cosmic forces exist:
Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Good, Evil, Law, Chaos, Positive Energy, and Negative Energy.
I've written up planes for five Outer Planes, but so far I haven't had ideas for the others. Here is the complete list of all possible combinations (planes I have already written up are marked with an "*"):
Air, Chaos
*Air, Evil
Air, Fire
Air, Good
Air, Law
Air, Negative

So please pick any combination and throw ideas and associations at me - anything that gets my brain moving.
Ok, here are my thoughts.
Air, Chaos - Strong winds, gasses, no order, no land.. just gases and winds. I wouldn't think it would be habitable.
*Air, Evil
Air, Fire - Basically the explosive/burning gases.. no land, pretty uninhabitable.
Air, Good - Kind of a heavenlike place, cloud palaces, winged beings of good.
Air, Law - Similar to above, but obviously Lawful Neutral
Air, Negative (+ and - probably closer to good evil air)
Air, Positive
Air, Water - A large globe of water surrounded by tempestuous winds/storms. Bountiful sea creatures/air creatures
Chaos, Earth - Volcanoes galore, quicksands, earth elementals that constantly disolve and reform.
Chaos, Evil - Hell
Chaos, Fire - Pretty much pure fire, similar to air, fire
Chaos, Good - Kind of a bizarre plane full of good creatures but nothing socializing.. just random acting good things.
Chaos, Negative - No clue
Chaos, Positive - No clue
Chaos, Water - straight water, very very strong currents - probably no life
Earth, Evil - Similar to earth chaos, but the elementals are constantly warring eachother.
Earth, Fire - Volcanoes galore. Fire elems, earth elems, magma elems
*Earth, Good - Trees, wood nymphs, a good nature plane
Earth, Law - There is no chaos to the planet, all hills are spaced the same amount apart, are same size, trees grow at the same height and in rows..
Earth, Negative ..
Earth, Positive..
Earth, Water - A muddy place
Evil, Fire - Hellish
Evil, Law -
Evil, Negative -
