Well, my concept for the planets (in more detail).

Air Worlds - has many flying/floating islands, the 'stalk' connecting it to 
the Sphere Tree is an immensly tall, steep, inverted mountain whos 'peak' 
is at the planets centre.

Water worlds - similar to the air worlds, but water, has an atmosphere and 
islands floating on the surface, and many 'floating reefs' in the interior.

Earth worlds - terrain is mostly mountain, hills, or planes, but with many 
small lakes and ponds. Extensive cavern systems honycomb the whole world.

Liveworlds - terrain is either dense forested in temperate or arctic zones, 
or thick jungle in tropical zones. Climate zones do not follow latitudes.

One idea is there is an 'otherworldly' nature to the whole sphere, where if 
you walk down a certain branch of the Sphere Tree at the right time, you 
cound end up in another sphere, or another plane.

I'm going to have to think about your suggestion: other spheres have had 
both earth worlds and liveworlds (Realmspace for a start), OTOH, I could 
combine my concepts for Earth- and Liveworlds, and add strange 'etherial' 
worlds, I need to think about it.

I'm not sure what to do about the suns/fire worlds ATM, I can't currently 
think of any particular 'fire-fae', and there is the fact that there are 
twice as many 'suns' as planets for some reason.

On a related subject, the original description of Fairyspace lists Djinni 
as one of the inhabitants of the Upgood worlds - implying that other genii 
types may inhabit the other worlds - this would let us add Efreeti to the 
suns - now what is everyone's opinion, would adding genii races to this 
sphere add or detract from its distinctiveness?
