'''Adaris''' is the overarching name for the entire cosmos, an expansive tapestry born from the [[Primordial Void]] and shaped by consciousness, imagination, and elemental forces. It is home to a myriad of planes and realms—both physical and ~~metaphysical—including the interconnected lands commonly referred to as [[The realms of Adaris|The Realms of Adaris]]~~.

== Introduction==

In Adaris’s earliest myths, raw, chaotic energy (called [[Astram]]) swirled in the infinite Primordial Void. From this sea of potential emerged the first spark of self-awareness, Daathir, who birthed dreams of possibility through [[Awenlas]], the [[spirit]] of imagination. Their interplay gave rise to the Primordial Elements—light, darkness, earth, fire, air, and water—laying the foundation for all creation.

Though the term “Adaris” often appears in mortal lore, its true scope exceeds any single world or plane.

<noautolinks>{{main|Cosmology of Adaris}}</noautolinks>

Adaris has a complex cosmology, encompassing everything from:

* [[Primordial Void|The Primordial Void]]: An infinite sea of Astram, raw potential without form.

* [[Daathir]] and [[Awenlas]]: The first consciousness and imagination, whose “dance” shaped Astram into reality.

* [[Primordial element|Primordial elements]]: Primordial spirits who server as the foundational aspects of ~~mater, earth and fire, water and air—all~~ interwoven by thought and dream.

* [[Primordial element|Primordial elements]]: Primordial spirits who server as the foundational aspects of mater—all interwoven by thought and dream.

* [[~~Ancestral~~ spirit|~~Ancestral~~ spirits]]: ~~Younger or culturally influenced~~ spirits that emerged as the ~~cosmos evolved~~ and ~~societies developed beliefs around them~~.

* [[Ascendant spirit|Ascendant spirits]]: The spirits that emerged from the interplay of primordial spirits. Creating new concepts, realms and possibilities.

By introducing the concept of time through the spirit [[Kairos]], Adaris’s creation stabilized into a more linear progression, preventing a slip back into pure chaos. Over eons, elemental formations like [[Elemara]] (the continent of Adaris) and countless other realms took shape, gradually evolving into the diverse tapestry of realms recognized today.

== Planes and Dimensional Interplay ==

Adaris encompasses far more than just tangible continents and seas:

* Material planes ~~(e.g., [[Terasil]])~~ – Physical worlds filled with mortal races, kingdoms, and day-to-day conflicts.

* Material planes – Physical worlds filled with mortal races, kingdoms, and day-to-day conflicts.

* Elemental planes – Domains where raw elemental powers (light, fire, air, earth, water, darkness) manifest with minimal interference.

* Spiritual & conceptual realms – Realms formed by belief, dreams, or fundamental concepts (such as time, birth, death), inhabited by spirits.

* Spiritual & conceptual realms – Realms formed by belief, dreams, or fundamental concepts (such as time, birth, death), inhabited by ~~primordial and ancestral~~ spirits.

* Astral and ethereal spaces – Transitional dimensions connecting the planes, shaped by the collective consciousness of Adaris.
