Hello.
I was reading about draedens on an Enworld archived thread when I encountered a post that asserted that Baernaloths hail from a reality that predates the Great Wheel cosmology, as well as the foreign reality origin of the Keepers. Could you guys please give me whatever information you have about realities such as that of the Keeper, the possible Baernaloth reality, the origin of the draedens, and the Macrocosm?
Thank you very much and have a wonderful day!

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. Thanks for your post! I was, however, wondering more about some of those speculative theories.
Thank you!

I've always seen the Macrocosm as some sort of "buffer zone" between the known planes and one of the Far Realms. Yes, I'm using a plural for Far Realms since it's likely there are many different planes that are known to the resident of the known planes, as the Far Realm.
It could also be a plane of life magnified, perhaps the cells and microscopic organisms which make the World Serpent Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent and the World Serpent Inn itself could be the dreamscape of Jörmungandr.

That's a pretty interesting theory. I am creating a campaign setting (or perhaps meta-setting) in which different multiverses float in some sort of higher reality, which I originally conceived as the Far Realm. I was also intrigued by some of the other realities, though, and so I'm trying to fit them in somehow in a way that makes some sense (to me anyway). The idea of the Macrocosm being a buffer zone is kind of intriguing, especially since it's controversial whether the chososion hail from the Macrocosm or the Far Realm. Maybe they come from both in a sense? Also, the idea of multiple Far Realms also strikes a chord with me. Or maybe it's singular and plural and something else all at the same time in a way that is inconceivable to us but perfectly...something...to the entities that "dwell" there.
Is there any information anywhere on the reality from which the Keepers are supposed to come?
All of those are speculation, the Baernaloth are just said to come from a time when the planes were young, the Draedens might come from the Far Realm or that primordial age, and the Macrocosm was just a theory, but it could be linked to the Far Realm(s).
