WorldsThe Layered World
About this world
The Layered World exists as a series of nested realities, each distinct in composition and nature. At its crystalline core lies the First World, a realm of pure geometric beauty where everything is formed from luminous crystal that refracts reality itself. The Second World, shrouded in shadow, is the domain of death and entropy, where the deceased find passage and forgotten things are preserved. Within that lies the Third World, a vibrant plane teeming with life force and vitality, where growth and renewal flow eternally. The Fourth World manifests as an expanse of polished jasper, a realm of stability and grounded power that serves as a buffer between extremes. Finally, at the outermost layer exists the Fifth World, a domain of absolute void—a space of potential and nothingness where reality is unformed and malleable. These worlds are not separate but layered concentrically, allowing those with knowledge to traverse between them and experience the fundamental forces that shape existence.
