Though the term “Adaris” often appears in mortal lore, its true scope exceeds any single world or plane. Within Adaris, the forces of consciousness and belief actively shape existence. Deities, spirits, and mortal cultures alike weave reality’s tapestry, forging new realms, concepts, and spirits as time flows onward.

== Origin and mythic foundations ==

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]]: ~~The~~ foundational aspects of ~~existence—light and darkness~~, 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, earth and fire, water and air—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.

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 (e.g., [[Terasil]]) – 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.

* 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 ~~Primordial~~ and ~~Ancestral 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.
