However the statement about no such things about astral objects it also true. This is not an astral object, this is a physical object left in Astral Space. It would look different from an Astral Imprint since, by getting into Astral Space, it merged its astral and physical form; so the object would not look like an imprint (colorless, bland) but would look exactly as it is supposed to be BECAUSE it is exactly the 'true' object.

Astral Impressions have been described as being not only colorless and insubstantial, but also hazy and indistinct.So the imprint of a (non-magical) sword would look about the same as the real sword, although colorless and bland (I'm unsure if it should be seen as like a black-and-white picture or just an empty/black silhouette) while the imprint of a Namegiver would have the same silhouette as its physical form with some aura emanating from it, the 'inside' of the silhouette would be its pattern (e.g you would not see his 'face').

Thank you, I actually own the book and didn't check it up there. My fault. Actually, when asking the question, I hoped that maybe there there is some long forgotten supplement devoted specifically to Earthdawn cosmology.
I am quite enthusiastc about this direction.

Not really*. The astral in Earthdawn is messed up and while there are beings (spirits, Horrors, and other astral fauna) that inhabit it, it's not really a place for people to live. At least, not the 'default' astral plane.Is it a viable option, say, to have a campaign that is set there ninety percent of time (like you can easily do it, e.g., in old Mage)?
Yes.Is it supposed to be essentially a mirror of the regular world or is it assumed that it has its rich internal structure with many worlds with complex interconections?
