User blog:CrimsonPyre/In Depth Cosmology and Lore of Shardsverse

Okay, so I saw a billion other people doing this so I decided to do one of these myself. The entire purpose of this blog is to explain the various lore points and the overall cosmology of the Shardsverse series. So without further ado, let's get right in there.

WILL BE UPDATED WITH MORE INFORMATION.

Lower Space
Simply referred to as Lower Space, this level of Creation is where the 4-D multiverse of multiverses reside. It is akin to an endless sea of universes in which a local cluster of realities is known as a Reality Cluster. Each universe in and of itself is a true universe complete with its own spacetime continuum. Various devices and spells have been used to breach the gap between these universes allowing people to crossover into them. In addition, various artificial 4-D constructs float around bound to each universe like a moon is bound to a planet or planets orbiting a sun. People refer to these as the Divine Realms where there Gods reside.

Since these constructs also contain there own spacetime continuums, that means that anyone capable of destroying them is in actuality destroying multiple universes at once.

A reality cluster is a collection of universes and divine realms that are in close proximity to each other. Much like a regular star cluster, the distance between these worlds are variable but due to the fact that they are closer to each other than the other universes, they tend to be grouped into clusters. They are mistakenly referred to as Multiverses due to their vast size. Like in space, universe can collide with each other. Universal collisions usually end in the complete and total destruction of that universe and the formation of a new one.

Hyper-Space
Hyperspace is the realm directly above the Lower Space. It is commonly referred to as the Upper Worlds and it is where the Lesser Primals reside. Hyper-Space can be referred to as a series of ascending dimensions with each one being infinitely larger than the one below it and containing greater infinities. In order to talk more about this, the topic of the Lesser Primals and their natures must be discussed.

Lesser Primals are beings who were either born from a Greater Primal or born alongside the very concept of Creation itself. They can be described as living conglomerates of concepts and hyperangles that transcend the concept of 4-D spacetime. These beings are of great power capable of traversing the various infinities between the different infinite levels and layers of Hyper-Space which itself contains the infinite dimensional void from which the Lesser Primals sprung from. Hyper-Space itself encompasses Lower Space, which itself is a vast infinite multiverse containing an infinite sea of universes.

Each realm in Hyperspace is ruled by a Lesser Primal with the exception of the First Eight Circles of Hell and the First Six Levels of Heaven which are just mere extensions of Radia and Malfegor's selves. The Primal in charge of these realms is capable of freely altering the number of Spatio-temporal dimensions within the realm to an infinite degree, making it appealing to beings in Lower Space such as you and me or completely incomprehensible. A great example of this is the Dreamlands, which is ruled by the Lesser Primal, Elesia. She has been known to reduce the number of dimensions of the Dreamlands down to 4 to allow people to access it via dreams and alter other portions of it to exceed an infinite amount of dimensions. In short, beings in Hyper-Space and the various reams exist as infinite-dimensional beings that can freely ascend or descend between higher and lower dimensions freely changing and altering the nature of their dimensions.

Take note that the concept of Hilbert Space is being used to describe Hyper-Space as each level of Hyper-Space

Example :


The Dreamlands: The Dreamlands is the realm of the Lesser Primal and Eldritch Goddess, Elesia. It is an endless realm that is constantly being altered between infinitely higher and lower dimensions by Elesia at her will. To allow Gods and Humans to enter, she will restrict some portions of her dimension to accommodate beings who exist at 4-D space, engulfing all of Lower Space within her clutches.

The Great Loom: Also known as the Axis or Wheel Of Fate. This is the realm of the Lesser Primal and Embodiment of Fate, Aira. This realm is completely inaccessible to beings of Lower Space, where mages themselves can use the Phase spell to freely transverse the entirety of Lower Space.

Zenith Space
Zenith Space is existence beyond even the reaches of Hyper-Space. Zenith Space is described as the Perfect State, existing completely beyond the restrictions of infinite-dimensional space-time. All concepts and notions of duality are completely meaningless here. The beings that reside in Zenith Space are infinite, eternal, boundless entities who exist wholly independent and transcendent of all concepts and duality.

Zenith Space is stated to be the Prime Source, existing in a state of Pure Infinite Possibility from which everything and nothing happens simultaneously, regardless of any and all logical contradictions as the beings here are beyond logic themselves. Zenith Space is incomprehensible as it is more a state of being rather than an actual dimension at least, according to some. Some Lesser Primals such as Lucifer, Kairos, and Corona have glimpsed Zenith Space and described it as the state of complete and total transcendence.

Greater Primals
Greater Primal Beings, also known as True Primordials, are seemingly omnipotent entities. They are eternal, unbound, infinite beings wholly devoid of form and completely transcendent of the duality, concepts, and even the infinite-dimensional Hyper-Space. They exist as the Prime Beings, standing at the apex of all Creation. In order to manifest in Creation, Greater Primals must crystallize a form, but even then, this form permeates all of Creation, leaking into the infinite layers of Hyper-Space and engulfing all of Lower Space. Unlike the Lesser Primals, Greater Primals lack the concept of Gender, but for simplicity's sake, Kinese and Radia refer to themselves as female while Chronos, Sychos, Alpha, Omega, and Malfegor refer to themselves as male.

The Creator, though it is classified as a Greater Primal, is in fact not a Greater Primal. The Creator exists beyond even Zenith Space and makes up the sum and is the creator of all Totality.
