General Information
Realms
Spielfelle:
A world blessed with Iks, a unique energy that allows for the use of mana. The world itself is so large that not everything has been explored. There are at least twenty discovered continents and vast oceans beyond the eye can see. The planet is so large that space exploration hasn't even been considered due to the vast world and many mysteries.
Melstor:
The realm in which the divine dwell. It has many separate realities and locations that make it unique. The most notable areas of the Melstor are where mortal souls go after they pass away.
Sacred Haven:
Sacred Haven is the land where pure souls go after death to mingle with the divine.
Realm of the Night:
The Realm of the Night is Nacht's personal realm in which his countless weapons and gateways to other realities are kept.
The Lord's Library:
This is Nacht's personal library where he holds all of reality's knowledge. Nothing escapes his curious gaze.
Continents:
Arsea (Ar-see-uh)
This continent is the second known largest in the world and is surrounded by water on all sides. A never-ending storm envelopes the surrounding oceans when you reach out by about 20-Falks [For reference, that's about 300 miles or 482 km]. The continent is not very advanced technologically but makes up for it by utilizing Iks reliant utilities.
Iridescia (Ear-ee-dehs- shuh)
This is the largest known continent in the world but not much is known about it. Many of the countries are isolationist and avoid contact with any of their neighbors.
Junith (Juhn-eth)
This is the third largest continent in Spiellefelle. Not much is known about it due to its isolationist ways. The only notable thing about this continent is that even in the night, bright lights reaching the skies can be seen from a far distance.
True Gods:
Kosmi (Kahs - mee)
The mother of Nacht and Reina, she is unknown by all who exist besides her children. She is known for her favoritism for Nacht, having reincarnated him into a True God upon his death in Spiellefelle. Reina was reincarnated upon what she assumed to be her favorite child's loneliness thereafter.
Nacht (Nah - kht)
The Lord of the Solitary Night, The Lord of Stories, Slayer of Outer Gods, Protector. Nacht is the patriarch of the world Spiellefelle. None have touched his world and none ever shall. He and his wife, Reina, are known for their contribution towards humans in the form of their 12 children.
Reina (Rae - nuh)
The Lady of the Embracing Day, The Queen of Light, Nurturer of Godlings, Wife. Reina is the matriarch of the world Spiellefelle. While her husband protects the world, she is nurturing their children and ensuring there is stability around the world. She and her husband, Nacht, are known for their contribution towards humans in the form of their 12 children.
Fürs (Fue - ers)
Nephew of Kosmi and King of Perete. Fürs is not a kind individual. He is known for having over 300 children with countless women due to his promiscuous ways.
Power System:
Iks (EE - ks)
This is the energy that surrounds all living beings. In it's pure form only one being can manipulate it without needing the body to filter it. Kosmi uses this energy to bend reality to her whims.
Ikas (Ee - kas)
The most potent form of filtered energy. It can be used for various things and has endless possibilities. This is commonly used by Humans, Unuans, Elves, and High Elves
Ikos (Ee - kohs)
A divine variant of Ikas and can be used by the gods and their chosen. Chosen mortals cannot handle the full use of Ikos, so they are limited to a small portion of it.
Ikis (Ee - kihs)
A mix of divine and human energy. It is used by Numens/Ascendants. This helps build up an immunity to the side effects of being able to only use a singular variant. Through this they can achieve great feats. Often considered demi-gods, Numen/Ascendants are anything but that.
Invocations:
Invocations are unique in the method that a user must fully believe in the spell they are committing to. Once it has been used once, there is no longer a need to focus on it as the world understands your acceptance. If you do not fully believe in your power, then chants will be required every time you use your invocations.
Currency:
Nokt (Noht)
This currency was named in honor of the first god to be recognized, Nacht (Noht). All countries in Iridescia use it. Note: 1 Nokt = 20 dollars
Rena (Ree-nuh)
This is the secondary currency of Iridescia. It works as a means to boost the value of Nokt through decimals. Note: 1 Rena = 40 cents
