Nidhogg's Truths

[~Aoria-sama~]

____________________________________

The Spirit Realm is an incorporeal dimension parallel to the physical plane of Eternia, where 'Spirits' and other supernatural entities reside, unseen to most. When a creature succumbs to death, their spirit is said to pass into the beyond for an unspecified amount of time, considered the afterlife and eternal resting ground of all living things. Countless myths and beliefs have accumulated regarding the unseen aspects of the Spirit Realm, given its magical and boundless nature.

The many realms can be seen within the distant stars at night, as if peering into it through the sky directly, as each individual star is another floating world within this plane. The saying 'the dead watch over the living from above' certainly has merit. The color of a star correlates with the individual realm, clustered together in 'galaxies', where a bright gold one might be a planet in Vanaheim, or a bleak black star (known as a void star) represents the desolate planets of Helheim. An endless cosmos that's as mysterious as it is enchanting.

While it's nigh impossible to enter the outer worlds without the aid of a highly focused, magically intense ritual, there are known Points of Convergence through Eternia that act as a middle ground between the two. Highly unstable, magically charged regions that have supernatural mutations that vary depending on where it aligns with the netherworld. This also acts as a gateway for incorporeal creatures to slip back and forth, with the more powerful of them able to sustain themselves indefinitely within Eternia.

The Spirit Realm operates on a different set of rules than the physical world. The realm is seemingly infinite in every direction, geographies vary radically and often morph on whim, and gravity is not always constant. A common sight in the Spirit Realm is the physical manifestation of the lifestream in the form of tangible, spiraling streams of energy gliding around landscapes and horizons across the floating planets and endless sky.

The realm is populated by both humanoid and non-humanoid otherworldly beings, that are born, live, and die under different circumstances. Sentient life isn't as dense in the outer worlds; it's more spread out, with the occasional swathe of it. Most of the planets are absent of organized cultures or lifeforms, but organic matter is still plentiful. Creatures similar (but much different) to our own animals can be found in abundance, while intelligence similar to humanity is especially rare outside of the 'major' planets.

Yggdrasil, Tree of Convergence

Within its canopy, creatures of pure magical essence find refuge, their shimmering forms dancing amidst the radiant aura that surrounds Yggdrasil.
Mystical beings such as ethereal dragons and sentient spirits make their home among its branches, guardians of ancient wisdom and protectors of the cosmic balance.

Yggdrasil is not a mere tree but a living entity, its consciousness an amalgamation of the collective knowledge and essence of Eternia. 

It is the fulcrum upon which the fate of realms pivots, a beacon of unity that binds the diverse tapestry of existence together, embodying the eternal cycle of magic, creation, and renewal within the vast expanse of the multiverse.

It is here in this place...that destiny intertwines and Nidhogg awaits those worthy for the secret knowledge held within.

And one particular Drakanite seeks truth in the knowledge, intending to find it.
