J.R.R. Tolkien’s Ainulindalë: A stunning visual adaptation of the first chapter of the Silmarillion, in which Tolkien’s world is created. I first came across this a couple of years ago and recently found it in my inbox while digging through old emails.
World Axis Cosmology: Sticking with cosmologies, this one belongs to the fourth edition of Dungeons & Dragons.
