Withered Worlds
Scene
The Laws of Withered Worlds
Magic and science exist intertwined with each other, with science making an attempt at decoding the secrets of magic, and magic being a massive, complex thing that doesn't make it easy, especially when it can bend the laws of reality and especially when the fundamental rules of reality have been warped beyond recongnition with the catastrophy that has befell the entire realm.
The supernatural, however, is on a level beyond that of magic and science. Bizarre and hard to predict, relying on a force of energy that matches up with that of the very essense of life itself. It cannot be controlled, it's rules are difficult, even impossible, to understand.
All living things are born with this energy. It is quite simply the ability to make the impossible happen. However, a majority of the population is unable to make usage of this energy. Humans especially, they show the lowest capability for this power. However, when one is able to make use of this power, they're able to make anything happen.
Cosmology
Eons ago, in the Void between realms, there was only darkness and chaos. From the midst of it, an entity that would be known as The Holy rested. It created the first realm, Origin. Upon the creation of this realm, The Holy would sleep for eons, letting it's world evolve and transform itself until such a time came for it to transform the realm.
The Nephilim were born. They had the most magical energy out of anything that would come after, being able to shape the terrain and transform their appearances into anything they desired. They would thrive for a long time in The Celestial City, a golden and massive city that spanned across half of the globe.
The Holy, an experimentive entity, would create hundreds of servants to assist in it's desire to creation-- known as Archons, of whom would observe and assist the Nephilim. At the same time, he would create three Vanguards based off of three different aspects of it's soul. The Sun, The Moon, and The Ocean.
For the longest time, the realms would live on in peace. However, this peace was not a permanent one, as a consciousness became aware of the realms. It burrowed it's way into The Ocean's heart, kickstarting his death and opening a gateway for the darkness to enter. In future eons, it would become known as The Nightmare King-- a mindless force that only seeks to spread itself for the sake of propogation.
This would result in a war known simply at the 10,000 Days, followed by an event known simply as The Schism. The outcome of this was grave-- Realms would tear any connection they had together away, with Nephilim either tossing off their connection to the magical and mystical, or escaping to other realms-- most notably to Terra Eclipsis, whereupon the Nephilim would begin to morph into another form entirely, Elves. From this chaos, two more realms would become known:
Over time, the Nephilim that have survived and remained on Origin would eventually begin to lose their magical capabilities, but that energy within them never left. They would eventually become known as Humans-- unable to use magic, but able to do many things with their own smarts and strengths, relying on their intelligence. For the longest time, humanity would remain locked away from the other realms...
Initial Active Setting
The initial focus shall be Earth as Withered Worlds begins, however, as time goes on, the focus shall be set upon the other realms around Earth that are connected to it. They, too, will have their own history to try and distinguish them enough from the other realms.
