Question 4 @Gregtito ! Need clarification from both @JeremyECrawford and @ChrisPerkinsDnD at #PAXSouth #Ravnica was "the Coruscant of D&D" but I ALWAYS thought Sigil was Coruscant? so far all 5E Cosmology has been "inclusive" of old #DnD , this seems like the first "update"? pic.twitter.com/EVV0t4OXkk

Wait. When did Sigil get world sized? The Donut is certainly big, yet I only got a big city vibe. Not this is a Ring World size. Could probably walk the circumfrence in a day or so.

In fantasy, a world isn't necessarily a planet. A world doesn't have a minimum or a maximum size, and a magic-driven world might follow few of Earth's physical laws.
A fantasy world is the size it needs to be, perhaps as tiny as the Little Prince's wee realm. #DnD https://t.co/SpPZTjNaJc

I'm a little confused about how Sigil fits in with the current cosmology. Is it back to being the fulcrum for the Great Wheel? Also, how is it a 'world'? I thought it was a sub-region at the centre of the Outlands plane? Or was that also messed up with the Spellplague?

Curious about the D&D cosmos and how Sigil fits into it? Ch. 2 of the "Dungeon Master's Guide" details the multiverse and describes Sigil's enduring place at its center, where it's a ring-shaped island in the sky of the Outlands and the autonomous domain of the Lady of Pain. #DnD https://t.co/wkyB65WgCn

Ravnica is the first actual planet in D&D that is covered by a city. Sigil is a torus shaped city on one of the planes, it isn't actually a world or planet. Sigil may be like Coruscant as a hub but Ravnica is like Coruscant in that it is a globe-spanning city.

Some worlds/planes in Magic are planets and some aren't. Ravnica hasn't been designated a planet.
"World" has no technical meaning in D&D. We often use it to refer to realms in the Material Plane, but that's not the word's only use in the game. #DnD https://t.co/ztq65VK4Qh

Planet or not, Sigil is more like Coruscant in how it functions, Ravnica is more like it in that the world (there is an official link below that calls it that) is covered by the city. We do, indeed, call Ravnica a world.
