World notes

Posted 8 years, 2 months ago (Edited 8 years, 2 months ago) by Juniipears

World Layout:

- Set on three separate planes of existence, the underworld (where beings of a dark nature exist), The Overworld (where beings of a Light nature exist), and the Midworld (where humans and earth exist

- the overworld and the underworld are layered over the midworld, they exist in the same area just on different planes. There are gateways scattered throughout the world that can lead to either the underworld or the overworld, to travel between the two one must pass through the midworld. 

- Beings of the overworld and the underworld frequently interact with the unknowing members of the midworld.



Gods:

- The gods that govern this world are Life and Death, both hold ultimate power within their world.

- Each of them controls the thing they embody, working to ensure that things in their world remain stable

- Each god has attendants that embody something related to their name/job, these attendants are loyal to their god.



MidWorld Key details:

- While inhabitants of the midworld aren't aware of the presence of members of the overworld and underworld, it is not hard for them to become aware of it. Humans aren't born with the ability to see things from the other planes but if they are 'touched' by something from the other planes they will be gifted with 'the sight' and will gradually start seeing things from the over and underworld. The sight can be passed down from parent to child and so forth.

- Members of the over and underworld do interact with the midworld a lot and have had a large influence on it, they do their best to stay hidden from the midworld inhabitants but ultimately it doesn't pose as an issue. For instance, a human could discover their boss is something from the over or underworld and said human would either be introduced to this new knowledge or killed; No fuss made and the issue is no more.

- pretty much everything functions as it normally would otherwise.

- At the rate in which things are going, its estimated that within the next thousand years or so there will be nearly no pure humans left as the entire race is slowly intergrating into the supernatural forces that grip the world.

Underworld Key details:

- Members of the Underworld are catagorized by the seven deadly sins. Most, if not all, Beings that come from it can be sorted under them.

- High level demons usually have their own little section of the underworld that they live in along with any underlings they have. They are also known to form contracts with humans that become vunrable to their sin. Contracts are formed by the human giving their soul and service to the demon and the demon granting the human one wish and immortality, the contract is sealed in a way that's unique to the person or demon.

- Members of the underworld are more likely to cause conflict in the midworld. They are more likely to challenge Death and Life, this is affected by personal choice though

- Demons typically hide their 'true name' since knowing someone's full name means you can take certain measures to force control over their actions, as thus all demons take up a name that everyone can use and keeps their true name hidden from everyone (its considered an act of unconditional love or trust to tell someone what one's true name is)

Overworld Key details:

- More divided than the Underworld and Midworld. The overworld is separated by race, each race has their own 'country' and laws; There is a large communal country where commerce between the races can take place.

- Laws and practices greatly differ between the countries in the Overworld. For instance, the country where the angel race dwell is a monarchy that's governed by strict religious practices while the country where the unicorn race dwells is a monarchy where your magical strength heavily influences your standing in society. Each race differs depending on their nature and how big they are.

- The large divisions between the Overworld's countries are not without issues, havng such divisions has caused the flow of time to stagnate between the overworld and the Midworld. It is irregular and one living in the overworld could easily go by 100 years in the midworld without realizing.

- Overworld residents tend to stay within their plane of existance due to this, though not everyone chooses to remain there. those that don't either don't have anyone they would miss or time their visits to the midworld to avoid trouble.
