The realm of Arafia, known as Noirra, is a domain of pure darkness. Unlike any other realm, Noirra is a vast expanse where no light can penetrate. It is a place of absolute blackness, where sight is impossible. In Noirra, darkness is not just a lack of light but a tangible presence, enveloping all that exists within its boundaries.

Noirra is not an empty void but a realm where darkness itself breathes and shifts, forming unseen currents that move without light. There is no sight here, yet presence is felt, a silent awareness that extends beyond form. It is a realm where even the stars are swallowed, where silence holds as much power as speech.

Kalpanas is the intangible realm where form, memory, and desire drift unshaped. It is the metaphysical current through which Awenlas, the Primordial Spirit of imagination and dreams. Kalpanas is not governed by time or space; it is the field of becoming, where thought precedes existence.

Relationship to Reality[edit source]

• Partially Accessible: Through dreaming, trance, or visionary states, mortals sometimes brush against Kalpanas—though few return unchanged.
• Unstable and Reflective: Kalpanas reflects the inner world of those who enter it. It is shaped not by geography but by memory, fear, and longing.
• Portal of Origin: The breach through which the first humans crossed into the physical world is believed to have opened within Kalpanas and anchored in Awenelir.

In Present-Day Adaris[edit source]

• Scholars and mystics debate whether Kalpanas is a place, a state of being, or the shadow of Awenlas itself.
• Dreamwalkers and storyweavers seek echoes of forgotten truths within Kalpanas to shape the waking world.
• Some claim the Trueborn maintain rituals that keep Kalpanas tethered to mortal consciousness—preventing total disconnection from the origin.

The realm of Dharas, Aurelion, is a vast and radiant expanse of light. In Aurelion, beams of illumination intertwine like living entities, creating a ceaseless display of brilliance and color. Shadows cannot form here, and all who enter find themselves bathed in pure clarity.

Aurelion and Noirra, the realm of darkness, are cosmic counterpoints. As Adaris turns between them, the cycle of day and night is created. Within Aurelion, the boundary between physical and spiritual light dissolves. It is said that those who journey there see all things as they truly are.

Jala’s domain, Pelagia, is a boundless oceanic realm where currents weave between lightless abysses and sunlit shallows. Unlike other spiritual realms defined by territory, Pelagia flows infinitely, shaped by the movement of tides and the breathing of the deep.

This realm is inhabited by water-spirits and fluid entities that defy fixed form. Waves carry memory, and creatures born of Pelagia often possess the ability to echo voices and emotions in currents. Portals between Pelagia and the material plane open where water gathers in strength—at river deltas, oceanic trenches, and sacred springs.

Kairos established its domain, known as Sataa or the Realm of Time, at the intersection of light and dark. Sataa is unique among the realms as it encompasses all the elemental realms within its boundaries, allowing the flow of time to touch every aspect of existence in Adaris. It serves as the space through which the elemental realms move, creating the cyclical nature of day and night, the changing of seasons, and the progression of life.

Sataa exists as a vast, liminal space, where the boundaries between realms blur and time flows like a river. Within this realm, Kairos governs the celestial movements of the sun and moon, orchestrating the passage of hours and seasons. Sataa is depicted as an ever-changing landscape, filled with shifting sands, flowing rivers, and eternal twilight, representing the constant ebb and flow of time.

While Sataa encompasses all the elemental realms, there are certain domains that lie outside the reach of time. The realms of light and darkness, governed by Dharas and Arafia, as well as the realms of imagination and consciousness held by Awenlas and Daathir, exist beyond the influence of Kairos. These realms are timeless, not bound by the flow of moments that define Sataa.

Orethil is the physical manifestation of Oras’s essence and the first realm to solidify from the chaos of Astram. In its primordial state, Orethil was a boundless expanse of unformed stone, devoid of water, flame, or wind. Over time, as other elements entered the world, the surface of Orethil transformed—eroded, reshaped, and diversified through elemental interaction.

The realm of Shasae, known as Caelum, is a boundless expanse of sky and atmosphere. It is a realm of pure air, where the sky stretches infinitely and is filled with drifting clouds, powerful winds, and mystical beings like the Caelites and Sky Drifters. In Caelum, the air is sacred and alive, a constant dance of winds that carry the breath of Shasae throughout Adaris.

Caelum is a realm of perpetual movement and change, reflecting the free-spirited nature of Shasae. The winds here are unpredictable, constantly shifting in strength and direction, creating a world where nothing is static. This realm sits above the physical world, embracing it with an atmosphere that sustains life and connects all living beings through the air they share.

Caelum is crucial to the cosmic balance, complementing the realms of earth, fire, light, and darkness. It represents the breath of life, the unseen force that ties all beings together, and the energy that fuels movement, growth, and change.

The realm of Tejas, known as Angarik is a domain of unending fire. Unlike the physical realm, Angarik is a vast expanse of pure flame, where fire exists in its most primal and unbridled form. It is a sea of never-ending fire, with no other elements present, only the roaring, crackling, and shifting of flames.

Angarik "sits" beneath the physical realm of Adaris, much like the atmosphere rests above. It is believed that certain phenomena in the physical world, such as volcanoes and roaring campfires, serve as direct doorways to this fiery domain. In these moments, the barrier between realms thins, allowing the raw energy of Tejas to burst forth into the world of Adaris.

This realm represents the transformative nature of fire, where destruction and renewal are constant. It is a place of great power, where those who seek to master the flames come to understand both the fury and the warmth that fire brings. The energy of Angarik fuels the fires of the physical world, linking the two realms in an eternal cycle of creation and destruction.
