The Avatar novels were released simultaneously - they heralded 2E rules in the "flagship" setting - so they might also be dated back to 1988 or 1989.

The first I heard of 2E was from the guy at the game store. PHB and DMG and MM and FRA, all sitting beside the novel trilogy. No hype, no announcement, no marketing. But to be fair, I didn't buy Dungeon/Dragon magazines at the time, I never read the comic books, I read whatever novels my local library had in their always-behind-the-times inventory. So maybe the "Endless Stair" was mentioned somewhere before 1990. Though it certainly wasn't around when Manual of the Planes came out in 1987.



so from torillian gods' oerspecftives the infinite staircase has always been a thing, and it gained aspects in other forms and realms as all yhings cosmic tend to do here.
Meanwhile in the planescape setting, not set in any one crystal sphere but touching all of them, introduces the infinite staircase.
Waukeen's decisions in For duty & Diety just have me curious about a few remaining threads. I want to read back through that splatbook because the authors wrote "infinite staircase as described in his cool thing planescape made" but I want to know what termenology is used by the game's lore itself and if the celestial staircase is referenced alongside the use of the infinite staircase..

Master Krashos,

Gotcha. That is interesting. All this time I thought it was all Ed on that. I did not know otherwise. Then again, I didn't know the Hooded One was not his wife, so geez, there you go. haha

Best regards,
