Default In Nomine Infinite Worlds

Been wondering about using In Nomine's Celestials with an Infinite Worlds campaign, and looking up old notes, worked up the following concept based in part on the Cabal's cosmology.

-The Corporeal Realm, aka Assiah, actually consists of not one, but many Earths and their constituant physical matter Universes.

-The Astral Realm and part of the Iconic Realm make up what Celestials call "The Ethereal Realm", and is the domain of Faeries, Ethereal Gods, as well as more exotic Ultraterrestrial beings and spiritual parachronozoids.

-Hell is the Abyss, something of a pandimensional "dumping ground", where the Demons and the Damned dwell, forced to share space with the even darker Qlippoth.

-Heaven as we know it, is right at the edge between the Iconic Realm and the Realm of Pure Spirit, and serves as something of a "Gateway" to the Godhead, via Jacob's Ladder.

-Tethers are basically Nexus portals used by the different factions to travel to and from different alternate earths.

-Celestials work as "Caretakers of Creation" (Defining "Creation" as the entirety of the Multiverse), intervening mostly on "Crisis Points" in the timeline of various worlds where Planetary Destiny has been derailed, while Infernals are generally trying to "sabotage" worlds, leading them into a spiral of destruction... "Hell Worlds" are Earths where the Demons succeeded.

-There aren't multiple versions of Celestials/Infernals running around; there's no world where Michael fell and Baal didn't, for exemple.

Granted, this adaptation doesn't cover everything, and definetly needs work, but I think that as a basis for a multiversal In Nomine setting, it's a good start.
