Blood Incantation - The Vth Tablet (Of Enûma Eliš)

[formulas-fatal-to-your-mom]

[reckonslepoisson]

Interdimensional Extinction (2015), Starspawn (2016), Hidden History of the Human Race (2019), Timewave Zero (2022), Absolute Elsewhere (2024), Blood Incantation 

Gradually Blood Incantation’s sci-fi has bled from the lyrics into the music itself; what was once competently progressive death metal, small in scope, has gradually become totally galactic. Lengthier, multiple movement tunes arrived on Starspawn, a clearer sense of drama took hold on Hidden History of the Human Race, ambient richness and quiet drama was practised and emphasised on Timewave Zero; and all came together on 2024’s Absolute Elsewhere. This is indisputably mighty stuff, no wonder it can convert to metal even the daintiest of music nerds (yes, me). 

Pick(s): ‘Obfuscating the Linear Threshold’, ‘Vitrification of Blood (Pt 1)’, ‘Awakening From the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul)’, ‘Ea: Third Movement’, ‘Stargate [Tablet III]’

A world of friends

In the late 2030s, a research lab discovers how to travel to alternate earths. And what's even better, they've figured out how to best monetize it too: tourism.

See it turns out there's not a lot of variation. There's a nearly infinite number of earths, but it's not like you're traveling to an alien planet or Narnia. They're all pretty... Earthy.

And they turn that into a positive: all earths are similar, but the small differences are what counts. And they're always searching for worlds with interesting divergences from our own, as potential destinations.

Spend a weekend with Netflix on the world where Walter Disney became a little-known architect, and the face of children's media is completely different. Visit the world where the US Revolution failed, and most of the Americas remains part of the commonwealth.

Safari through the world where humans died out or never evolved, see the megafauna we weren't around to extinct.

The world where the planet's population is 97% Christian but they're also nudists because they associate nudity with the innocence of the Garden of Eden.

And if you're looking for a challenge, visit the world's where climate change has already melted the ice caps, the world's where the cold war went hot, the world where the first world war is also the last one, and it's still ongoing.

There's just one minor problem with their plan of setting up an industry to portal people to other worlds:

Someone else is already using it.

Their interdimensional tech relies on creating wormholes using a complex arrangement of superconducting magnets and there's a characteristic burst of neutrinos when the event horizon forms.

They have to monitor them to properly "aim" the wormhole, but their early work is thrown off by seeing spurious emissions coming from outside their facility, which they later realize are exactly matching their technology.

They're just seeing the wormholes from the other end.

They partner with a government agency, explaining their discovery, and express worry that the country (and the world!) may be getting infiltrated by an off world power.

They build sensors in major cities, and triangulate where the off-worlders are appearing, and follow them.

They seem harmless enough. Often skittish, taking lots of pictures, asking odd questions... These aren't security agents or an invading force.

They're just tourists. They're from another world's interdimensional tourism business. One that set up before ours.

But why are they here? What's so odd about our world among the trillions they have access to that makes them come here with cameras fully loaded with film and memory cards?

The security agents pour over surveillance tapes of them wandering around random cities, and finally spot (no pun intended) why they're here.

It's dogs.

The tourists are skittish around seeing people walking their dogs, they're taking pictures of corgis and greyhounds, they're visiting petstores and ignoring the cats and iguanas and tropical fish to go look at the most boring mutts, eyes full of wonder and fear and excitement...

One of the tourists is picked up by the security services, but hits their panic button and vanishes before they can be questioned. They leave behind a Daguerre Inc 2090 DSLR camera full of slightly blurry photos of dogs, and a pamphlet that fell out of their bag in the scuffle

The pamphlet is for this interdimensional vacation, and describes the weirdness of our world: The strange universe where humans somehow befriended wild wolves and let them into their homes and lives.

The pamphlet plays up the scariness of canines, showing Tibetan mastiffs and angry pitbulls biting into meat. Police dogs with titanium teeth replacements. There's very few pictures of chihuahuas and corgis and poodles.

So the next time you're at an animal rescue or a petting zoo, and you see someone looking on in fear and wonder at the amazing sight of a golden retriever puppy, their camera shutter clicking away...

Maybe ask them who the president is. And what year we landed on the moon.

And don't be too surprised if they answer "You mean the Prime Minister? It's still Thiers, right? I haven't been reading the papers much recently. And 1956, unless you're one of those pedantics who say it only counts if it was successful, in which case 1958"

Scooby Dhu

Mystery Incorporated gave us the idea that Scooby was descended from a race of interdimensional alien beings called "Anunnaki" (btw in irl mythos they are actually a group of Sumerian/Mesopotamian gods, kinda odd choice) that possess the occasional animal (we even see Sun Wukong amongst them) to give them human-level intellect + supernatural abilities to their descendants.

So technically Mystery Incorporated could be considered an adaptation of "The Shadow Out Of Time" - just with the Yiths inhabiting animals instead of humans.

Since I although it's interesting idea, I kinda dislike the idea of one mythology taking credit for another (Sun Wukong is very much a Chinese character, not a Mesopotamian one) and reducing rich character origins to "its aliens", I as an irish person shall give my own idea for what Scooby is;

He's a fae.

Not knowingly though. The eponymous dog is unaware of this fact due to being raised as a normal dog.

In irish culture, the largest dogbreed the Irish Wolfhound (a mix of extinct native wolves & imported Borzois, hounds, and Great Danes) are often used to depict fairy creatures such as the Pooka or dogs owned by greater fae beings. The infamous being Bran and Sceólang owned by Fionn Mac Cumhaill, an ealry irish folk hero.

Fun fact "dhoo" (pronuced "Doo") is the Manx Gaelic word for "dog". A common term for "black/fairy dog" sightings in the Isles is to call them "Moddey Dhoos" to distinguish them from regular "madra" dogs or "Cú" hounds.

Most the time fairy dogs are harmless though. Mfers love eating and drinking. They will form tight bonds with their chosen family that can transcend death itself.

One hound named Failinis was also said to frequently and accidentally break physics around him when he got happy/drunk.

Also they can be terrible cowards.

So imagine: Shaggy, in a rare show of bravery, protects what he thinks is a "weird-looking" puppy from other kids, only to gain a life-long fae companion who thinks he's a normal dog and that all other dogs are weirdly quiet.

Ok so, if you're taking requests, then can I have a janitor reader at the tbd, and timekeeper likes to mess with them? They're just putting the bucket in almost unreachable places or rewinding paperwork or handing random stuff to them. They're such a silly and that needs to be acknowledged more.

TIMEKEEPER X FACILITY MANAGEMENT READER

(I HC TK uses any pronouns)

Ever since joining the Facility Management Division, you couldn’t help but wonder what Marble Bread’s warning was supposed to be.

“Hey, uh, if you see a weird, round, and yellow cookie anywhere… don’t worry. I’m pretty sure she works here. Pretty sure.”

You questioned that for a while. A weird, round, and yellow cookie? Who could that be?

You were cleaning out in one of the hallways like usual, making sure nothing was dirty, and then… you turned around. All of the things you’d cleaned before were back, almost like you hadn’t even done the work in the first place.

Your first thought was to go to Croissant and get your vacuum fixed. Maybe this was like what happened to Marble Bread that one time? But Croissant couldn’t find anything wrong, and her only other idea was…

“Ehe, nothing, sorry. Just forget it, it… probably won’t happen again.”

Weird things continued happening over time. Your bucket was always suspiciously just one shelf higher than you could reach, your equipment frequently went missing and showed up in the weirdest places in the TBD (seriously, String Gummy’s dorm? How in the world did that even get there?), and you could have sworn you always heard a faint chuckling.

…Then you met her. You were cleaning as normal, and you heard a noise. Quickly swiveling behind you, you saw her. Tick was leaving already, so you couldn’t stop tick, but they had such a strange appearance. A glowing eyepatch, baggy pants, the largest top hat you’d ever seen, and round yellow hair. This was the cookie, wasn’t it?

Meanwhile, Timekeeper continued laughing from the comfort of a time rift. Giving you a little glance of her was a welcome change, and your confusion was just so funny!~ She couldn’t help messing with you, for some reason. Something about you just caught his eye and he couldn’t look away! Her poor little employee had caught the attention of the time god, and they weren’t about to let their new source of fun go.

———

I bet she hands you interdimensional creatures. Weird long frogs and very extinct animals. You give them all to Relic Management (they can stuff ‘em and taxidermy them, probably), but she won’t. Stop. Giving. You. Them. You would keep one as a pet, but it’s probably against TBD rules.

Ooh, and even if Marble Bread becomes the head of the FMD, she keeps telling MB to tell YOU to do a lot of the tasks because she likes watching you work. MB probably enjoys the break (and TK gets to see your cute little dough scramble to get stuff cleaned).

What if Bill defeated the Axolotl and Time Baby and absorbed their powers SOON AFTER destroying Euclydia?,becoming incredibly all powerful. He is now,the Almighty All Seeing eye All Powerful Triangle,or Almighty Cipher for short. Where does Ford come in when he's literally God already?,well... Bill needs a disciple,a successor,a vessel for his power,someone to channel his endless ability for him on Earth in order to expand his following and domain via a magic scepter that has an ounce of his power inside.

Why he wants a successor/vessel: With him having everything he wanted,power fame and recognition,things got REALLY boring and so he wants to shake things up a little by getting involved in Earth's affairs more,thus he decides to seek out a "genius mind every century" and he's actually being legit this time cuz he GENUINELY wants a genius mind to help him with no strings attached (sort of). And even with his literal op abilities,he's still horridly evil he still has his Issues™ and he's still very very chaotic. Almighty Cipher is literally just Bill but if you gave him the powers of a fucking god (or two. time baby is also a god),he was already powerful before,now i made him worse. In present day,Bill travels the multiverse with Ford and his family who are all now with him as interdimensional criminals but they also lead a double life back on earth as normal kids and a normal con man as unlike Ford they're not really keen on CONSTANTLY going on crazy interdimensional adventures for the rest of their lives,ALSO,Ford is a horrid egomaniacal tyrant that lives in a pocket dimension called Sixerville which used to be a peaceful farmworld dimension the Crop Colony that revolved around humble humans and the occasional anthro animal person tending to their crops until Ford came around and decided to enslave everyone because he couldn't stand watching a "bunch of useless vermin" live their lives without doing anything noteworthy like devoting themselves to research or advancing their technology,so he "fixed" them by forcing the inhabitants to serve him lest their entire dimension gets eaten by Bill who's like his fuckin attack dog/husband. Ford lives with Bill in Sixerville and also occasionally goes over to Gravity Falls to visit his family,Ford is like this because Bill kept influencing him and enabling his egotistical behavior that often makes him value his research more than his dignity (and his family),what happens when a god like being and a human that has a very strong tendency of letting his ego get to him come together?,this guy happens,ALSO ALSO,Stan and the twins are lowkey terrified of him even when his horrid behavior doesn't extend to them as well but can you imagine watching your brother/other grunkle drive whole societies to extinction via mass genocide without a care in the world for "Science"?. Also Weirdmaggedon still happens,but like,every year. It's like a holiday for Almighty Cipher and Tyrant Ford. They pick a dimension,plan out everything,and BAM, apocalypse on yet another harmless society. Ya see this is what happened instead of Ford being in the portal for 30 years. Almighty Cipher found Ford,made him his main disciple,the two build the portal with Fidds,Fidds quits because of seeing Bill eat his exoskeleton (although he doesn't lose his mind),Ford stays with his dear muse/god and ends up starting Weirdmaggedon on Gravity falls which horridly messes up the town and basically makes it a Chernobyl-esque chaos no man's land zone with how fucked up and weird everything is now,Stan visits due to the postcard (sent way later when Ford and Bill have taken over the town 10 years after) but only for Ford to have his brother join him in the chaos which he reluctantly accepts,later the two move onto conquering the multiverse which they succeed in doing but after having their fill of being multiversal overlords they decide to make a living traveling and studying dimensions,with Stan and later the twins joining them. The twins STILL go to Gravity Falls for the summer but uh,it doesn't go as planned as the place seems to be a literal war zone with weirdness bubbles constantly floating around eye bats turning everything and everyone they see into stone and the Henchmaniacs just vibin' while either torturing or killing any human they see for shits n' giggles,Ford saw that this would be a problem for the only family he has besides Bill so he decided to offer them protection in the Fearamid for the summer.

The thing i said i was gonna throw up ^^^^^

chewing on your brain /pos

fantastic au idea, and i suppose an idea like this needs sustenance to continue...... (<- wants to yap JAKAKSJSALJSJSJS)

bill being given even more power more directly after "liberating" Euclydia is such an interesting concept bc you have to think- he's gonna be so much more unstable than canon where he had millions- trillions, even, if the book of bill is to be believed- of years to cultivate and hone his power to get the tremendous amount of control he as by the time he meets ford and later by weirdmagedon. so, in theory, his power would be almost running rampant, which could explain the scepter idea you had (could be used instead of his cane? which is just adorable, really) and the need for a vessel and project to channel both that energy and bill's boredom into.

ford being coaxed into feeding his ego is so important to me, with his (rather shitty) self esteem and need to be recognized and needed, and then being able to get that recognition himself, even if it is through.... questionable means (COUGH mass genocide and inter-galactic terrorism COUGH). i really do think he could have the capacity for it, especially if not only was fidds not going mad from memory gun usage and seeing bill without his exoskeleton on while eating, but stan was called later and joined him, and bill didn't try to hide his plans for weirdmagedon from ford

TWINS! BEING! IN! THE! FEARAMID! OVER! THE! SUMMER!!

^^ very, very important, especially since that means they're fairly safe under bill and ford's protection there and we know that bill could manipulate the fearamid into whatever the kid's need or desire, keeping them, most likely, entertained for the duration of the summer. plus, i just know dipper would love to study the henchmaniacs, fearamid itself, the event of weirdmagedon, and the rift/portal while not fighting for his life

Doing some insane backwards speculative evolution on Minecraft beings to put together another theory in my repertoire of insane Minecraft shit that I take way too seriously, this time around the fact that the villager is in the player character are from the same original ancestor

In like the direct evolution- trying to make a line of missing link "proto" beings- and so far I have deduced that the villagers that existed within the deep dark are actually a now extinct earlier version of the villagers called the dwellers, nothing is led me to call them this other than just wanting to.

So essentially the dwellers descended from something called Proto-Dweller, essentially a placeholder name, but that thing descended from the common ancestor.

On the builder side we have the first step, an unknown missing link beyond the actual link between the two types of creatures. This one is connecting what I am calling the Neomasons and the unnamed connector species between villagers and builders.

The reason that they're called Neomasons is because essentially they're the "Masons" of the world taking inspiration from the "Neolithic", those that built the foundations by which the rest of the builders built their shit.

We haven't got anything for them, we just have to assume they existed. This is the kind of thing where if we were to get much better, even later paleontological means of looking at the stuff, or even just canonized crazy stupid prehistoric Minecraft stuff, we can start to put together better ideas of what exactly it is that kind of sits in this range of "before the Neomasons" and even get an idea of what they themselves were like in the first place. They would have to have been a species that existed before the emergence and intrusion of those three interdimensional beings in legends, which I believe so the seeds of showing the ancient builders how to get to the other dimensions, leading into my other theory about the nether being a post-cataclysm place that used to be just an underground garden essentially

ENTANGLEMENT | Part I, Chapter I

A Portal/Half Life Universe Fic from Chell's Perspective Rating: Explicit Overall Word Count: 10,730 Chapters: 1/20 Where to Read: AO3 | Google Drive | // ?UN?/KN@?#WN

SYNOPSIS

Location Unknown, Michigan, USA.  Aperture released her, set her free. That ought to have been the end of it. But cast out into a world rendered unrecognizable after a mass extinction level event, Chell is forced to fend for herself, navigating a war-torn world in the aftermath of the seven hour war that devastated the states in a bygone era.  Mere days into her newfound experience on the surface, Chell finds bizarre technology inside a Michigan radio tower, discovering that the same interdimensional forces that started the war were still around, scouring the area in search of technology from the facility she hoped to never see again — Aperture Science.  With no choice but to go back to the facility to deliver a dire warning, Chell tightropes on the cusp of two worlds, unaware of the consequences of pursuing the past and surviving an uncertain future alongside an unlikely ally.

It's finally here!! A former roleplay thread with @sarcasticgaypotato turned novel, this story follows the events of Half Life 2: Episode 2, and is an inspired continuation of the ending of Half Life: Alyx from the perspective of everyone's favorite Aperture-dwelling characters. Chell, whose mission is to protect Aperture technology from getting in the hands of the Combine, must also act as GLaDOS's protector and keep her safe. GLaDOS, on the other hand, has to figure out the complicated ways of the world from a new perspective - literally. This story is friendly to those who don't know Half-Life lore, and a treat for those who do! This story is a close-to-canon survival novel fic with ChellDOS as a major focus. Full of survival, interactive elements, complicated feelings, and a beautiful slow burn robot/human love story. <3

Blood Incantation - Hovering Lifeless

[formulas-fatal-to-your-mom]

[dollbotthing]

as well as stopping dinosaur and elephant extinction we need to stop some of the specific animal endangerments we’ve seen in the past couple years like dogcat and interdimensional worm

[foone]

So I've been reading up on the Dimensional Nexus Encyclopedia, and found some wild stuff in there I gotta infodump about.

First of all, did you know the name is wrong? It's not interdimensional at all! We're moving in space, not through different dimensions.

It turns out we're in one of those looping cosmologies where the whole universe just repeats if you go far enough. It's safely outside our normal light cone, so you'd never be able to tell normally, but that's what the Dimensional Nexus is for.

So the universe is the Prime Earth , and then if you go a couple hundred billion light years in any cardinal* direction, you'll find another Earth. But because of quantum effects, there's slight differences, and the farther from Prime Earth you get, the more slight differences compound on each other, and you end up with worlds that seem stranger and stranger.

And the "local group" is just the 258 Earth's closest to Prime (well, 257 + valentine) , as they're close enough to have humans on them. Past that, you get to dead worlds: there's an earth, it might have life on it, but there's no humans.

Most of these that have been surveyed have zero evidence of there ever having been humans on them, but there's a few that have human artifacts but no living humans. None of these seem to have died in recent memory, ie there's no nuclear winter planets, and the most recent one we see has humanity mostly dying out in the 3rd century PCE, and struggling along until the 11th century PCE when they finally go extinct. It's supposed (but unproven) that many of the artifactless dead worlds are just worlds where humanity (or the entire biosphere) died out so long ago that we can't find any surviving evidence of humanity, but they still did exist in some way.

Past them you get to Missing Worlds : there's no Earth there. You show up in the right position and there's just empty space. A few probes have been dropped in those worlds, and they have completely different solar systems (although one of them (loneluna) seems to have the same solar system, down to the moon still being in roughly the same orbit around the sun... But no Earth. That one is described by 9 out of 10 scientists as "creepy")

Anyway... So the Dimensional Nexus is run by the Prime universe but did you know they didn't discover the tech? It was actually the Bet world that first deployed multiversal travel tech. The Prime verse spotted it immediately and they ended up working together, because at the time Prime was researching the same stuff, they were just slightly behind. I've written about that contact before, in a world of friends.

Prime just ended up being the universe that set of the Dimensional Nexus. As we're always having to tell people, we're not the "space police", we're researchers. The primary goal of the Dimensional Nexus is to learn more about what universes exist and how things are going on them, because of the extreme risk of a war using this technology.

A properly equipped army could transport itself into your city. Sure you can use the DN tech to detect that invasion, but at that point it's already over, you've lost. They have commandos in the presidential mansion and soldiers occupying every street corner. Any attempted resistance would be bloody and short-lived.

So yeah, Prime was like "we gotta make sure there's not a Nazi Earth out there invading the multiverse". They teamed up with Bet and started the Dimensional Nexus to find out if they need to protect themselves and, if they do, how the fuck they do that.

The latter hasn't been promising. If we're not willing to take extreme measures like hiding off-earth and reshaping the planet to be a trap to travelers, about the only action you can take is "preemptive attack". You kill them before they have a chance to attack you. Like that old metaphor for interstellar war, it's hide and seek with missile launchers. As soon as you spot another 'verse with DN tech, you kill them before they kill you. Nasty warfare.

But the former has been promising. We've got no nazis worlds. The world's are all different in small to big ways, but none of them seem to be either:

1. Run by expansive fascist empires, or

2. on the verge of discovering DN tech

So the Dimensional Nexus is mainly watching and waiting and studying. We're trying to better understand how and why the different Earths are different, and we're keeping an eye on any scientists experimenting with doing a neutrino slingshot through neutron stars.

We also do a lot of death earth exploration these days. Up until '74 when valentine was discovered, we we're pretty sure there were only 257 worlds. valentine is in some kind of island of stability out in the dead worlds, and we don't know if that's because of the unique time shot going on, or if that's coincidental.

There is a bit of tendency for the current year on an Earth to be farther back from the Prime present, the further they are from Prime, but it's usually only a few decades at most, and even that wouldn't correctly describe valentine. They're in the 20s (ish: their timeline went chaotic so time tends to move sideways, not forward) but with how far out they are they should only be in like the 1980s.

Anyway the discovery of valentine changed things: we though there were no living worlds in the dead zone, turns out there's at least one, so now we gotta make sure there's not two. Thus all the exploring. We don't want to find out there's at least two worlds in the dead zone, valentine and jetpackhitler.

So yeah! Over the last 30 years since the Gravekeeper Mission started, we've cataloged about 78% of the dead worlds. We'll be done in another 10 years, and then the only worry is from something in the Missing Zone.

Oh for the record, your world (the reader) is 91verse. That's one of the middle earths (NO LOTR JOKES) where you're weird but not too weird. Like, you've still got dogs and English and capitalism, while the edgeworlds might not. (that time/distance thing is why it's still 2024 PCE for y'all, instead of 2118 PCE)

Also someone had asked about a previous post I made (indirectly. No computers in the Nexus, thanks to the temporal flux) how I knew some information: did I really go to Belgium and ask around until I found Ariana Grande on a farm with her husband?

No, of course not. I used our surveillance tech. One of the main things that's been done to watch for potential rivals in the DN tech arms race is build a lot of ways to spy on people in other universes. And specifically one major area of effort is doing cross-universe matching: you pick someone in one universe and find that identical person in other universes.

That way if there's some genius scientist in one world who has some neutrino-slingshot theories, we can quickly look them up in other universes to make sure they're not doing the same there. And it's very commonly misused by fools like me to see what a celebrity from this world is doing in others. It's always funny to look up the president or the best paid actor and find there's a universe where they instead are a kindergarten teacher.

It's a bit of a privacy invasion but the Dimensional Nexus is already the biggest privacy invasion in the multiverse (a term we still use despite it being wrong: there's only one universe!), and it's justified by those in charge that it's the only way to prevent an unwinnable DN war. We either invade everybody or we spy on everybody to make sure they don't invade everybody. Yeah. I'm just here for fieldwork, if you have a problem with it talk to the politicians who set up this thing.

Final fun fact: when the Dimension Nexus was set up, it was representatives of 5 earths: Prime, Bet, john1135, carshop, and blacksky. Because those are some of the first universes found, they're very similar... Right down to their leaders.

So there's 5 signatures on the declaration and THREE OF THEM are PM Thiers!

You should see the photo. It looks like a set of triplets setting up the worst boy band imaginable. (I can't sent the image with this post because of the no-computers thing)

* I do not have nearly enough time to explain what "cardinal" means in terms of multiversal geometry.

Widget the Tech Portal Master

I've always wanted to design a nonhuman Portal Master OC, and so I decided to repurpose one of my older Skylanders OCs into a Portal Master while also redesigning her

Widget is a Kobold who originally came from a distant world known as Talathus, whose technology and architecture is similar to that of Skylands. Widget came to Skylands after investigating an interdimensional portal known as the Realm Gate, which is also the last standing remnant of a now extinct species from her homeworld.

Much like other Kobolds of her home, Widget is very tech savvy. She built her mechanical arm, monocle, and staff from scrapped Arkeyan parts she gathered from the Rampant Ruins.

Some factoids about her:

She's good friends with Mags and Sharpfin and often works with them

She sometimes will repair the armor and/or machinery of Tech Skylanders who have been injured in battle.

She often works with Sharpfin and his pit crew on repairing the SuperChargers' vehicles when they are damaged from battle.

Her favorite Skylander to work with is Drobot, and the two often get along well with each other.

The MephistoVerse: Cosmic Map and Lore

I made a map of the MephistoVerse out of stock images bc I didn’t have any other options

Basically this whole universe is structured like a diamond, with the black lines on the diagram representing the Cosmic Portals that open for exactly 10 days every 10 years and basically allow for interdimensional travel

The Portals are guarded by small, immortal dragonish beings simply known as the Portal Guardians, who are basically like supernatural airport staff, ensuring safe passage for anyone travelling between the worlds

As for the worlds themselves, Earth is pretty self explanatory. Gaia is an alternate version of earth with its own unique history. Most notably, this is a world in which sapient dragons coexist with humans, wizards are just part of everyday society, placerias didn’t go extinct and are used as beasts of burden and the human race’s only natural predator is the manticore (a member of the order Vampiridae, which of course means that vampires are part of this world too). It’s here that the majority of stories in the MephistoVerse take place.

Lyssion is a world containing only two main landmasses; the continents Varkaus and Oreth. These worlds are inhabited by creatures that once existed in Gaia, but are now considered beings of myth and legend (especially in our world). Orcs, elves, giants, fauns, minotaurs and nagas are just a few examples of this bizarre planet’s inhabitants. It’s a world fraught with danger, but also with mystery and wonder.

Hell needs no explanation. This is the abode of demons and damned souls who have no hope of redemption. It has a structure similar to that of the Inferno of Dante’s Divine Comedy, with nine layers and Lucifer himself residing at the centre. This place makes the horrors of Mad God look like a Studio Ghibli movie.

Purgatory is an anomalous island in between Heaven and the mortal worlds. This is a place where souls who aren’t quite bad enough for Hell end up. Essentially, if there’s a chance of redemption for them, this is where they go, working hard to undo the damage they inflicted in life until they eventually reach Heaven. Like with Hell, I got my inspiration from the Divine Comedy again.

Heaven is pretty self explanatory. A realm of peace, love and harmony, from which all creation originated. And yeah that’s about it really. Still codifying the specific histories of each world but I thought I might as well get the basics sorted out.
