The Hiss setting is a world where evolution went on the other way and now in it lives mostly reptile-like creatures like a dragon.

Cosmology 

Main forces

Light and Dark

Light and dark – are the main forces in the setting. Don't exist one without the other.  Every creature may be closer to light or to dark, but the part of one of forces will be anyway in the other.

The dark - doesn't mean evil, the light - doesn't mean good,  therefore not all who accept the dark is pure evil, as those who accept light is pure good.

What about magic, it clearly divided into magic of light and magic of dark.

Life and Death

As well as previous forces, one without the other doesn't exist. If creature don't live - it's dead; if it's not dead - it's live. The life ends by death, death starts by life in other reality.

Sometimes this opposing forces may be mixed because of something, and because of it undeads arise - creatures, that are not dead and are not live.

Elements

At the Hiss setting there are 6 elements, instead of 4,  from which formed the world: water, earth, fire, air, lightning, and magic. Additionally from lightning  and fire formes 7th element - plasma; and from earth and fire 8th element - metal.  If the first 5 all clear, then what about a magic?

While the first 5 elements may not be everywhere, then magic permeates all world.

Every creature or part of nature have the magic element in their composition. And if to talk about creatures, then if they have more of this element, then they closer to spirits and their magic more powerful.

Also magic fastening all other elements and that gave rise to the elemental magic

Themselves, so-called true spirits, consists only of magic element.

In its turn, the element of magic divided to 2 smaller elements: element of dark magic and element of light magic.

To light magic ascribes elemental magic, illusion magic and healing magic

To dark magic ascribes necromancy and magic of warlocks.

Realities

 

Realities - it's smaller worlds on Hiss. You can walk from one reality into the other through the portals. Nevertheless, Gods and spirits may travel through it more free, because they haven't borders that have others.

The main reality (The Hiss)

It's that reality, where live mere mortals (At least those, who were born of). This reality also include all physical objects like planets, stars, cup of tea, etc.

The ethereal reality (Ethereal; Ephemir)

In that reality live all spirits and Gods.Just few mortals got to this reality, so you can't find any describings of this place. Some says, that it looks like a field with exceptional beautifull constructions, other says that it's in fact heaven: there are continuous clouds around and in this clouds builded one big divine city.

It is possible, that both assumption at some point are true.

The Kingdom of Death

In that reality live the souls of dead. As well as in Ethereal, there was just a few live mortals, so there are not any describings of this place too. There is much debate about whether it's the darker part of Ethereal or it's independent reality

The Hellforce reality

In that reality live all demons, doesn't matter if they big or small.

There are a clear hierarchy and at the same time chaos.

This reality was made by Gods to lock dangerous demons there. Unfortunately, they found the weak part of wall between realities and now they can go to main reality sometimes .

If we know something about this reality, then from the words by captivated demons. According to their stories, in this reality all territory devided on something like states between the brothers. Some states less devastated, some more, somewhere physically torment sacrifices, somewhere moral torment. At the some parts of this place you may not understand, that you are in the hearth of the hell. 

What about the wall between Hellforce and other realities, some thinks, that it can be broken because of God's quarrel.
