Intangible realms of Adaris
The Intangible Realms of Adaris are the fundamental metaphysical forces that shape existence. These realms are not bound by physical form but govern the essential aspects of reality itself. Each realm embodies a unique, primordial force from which further concepts and manifestations emerge.
The Five Core Intangible Realms
The Realm of Consciousness – The source of self-awareness, perception, and thought. It is from here that wisdom, memory, and the foundation of sentience arise.
The Realm of Creativity – The boundless domain of imagination and inspiration. It fuels innovation, artistic expression, and the shaping of possibilities.
The Realm of Time – The ever-flowing continuum governing change, destiny, and motion. It ensures the passage of moments and the unfolding of existence.
The Realm of Light – The embodiment of illumination, truth, and revelation. It is the force of clarity, justice, and harmony in the universe.
The Realm of Darkness – The domain of mystery, the unknown, and the hidden. It preserves secrecy, potential, and the depths of the unseen.
These five realms serve as the foundation for all existence in Adaris, influencing both the tangible and intangible aspects of reality. They exist in harmony, neither opposing nor dominating one another, instead forming the intricate balance that shapes the cosmos.
The Secondary Intangible Realms
From the interplay of the five core realms, secondary realms emerged, each governed by a spirit that embodies its essence. These realms shape existence in more nuanced ways, influencing the flow of knowledge, dreams, fate, and change.
The Realm of Knowledge – Born from Consciousness and Light, it governs wisdom, learning, and the preservation of understanding.
The Realm of Dreams – Formed from Creativity and Darkness, it is the domain where imagination transcends reality and visions take shape.
The Realm of Fate – Emerging from Time and Light, it weaves the infinite paths of destiny and possibility.
The Realm of Shadows – A fusion of Darkness and Consciousness, it holds secrets, forgotten truths, and the unseen.
The Realm of Innovation – Created by Creativity and Time, it is the crucible of progress, invention, and transformation.
The Realm of Paradox – A unique convergence of all five core realms, where contradictions coexist and reality bends in unpredictable ways.
The Realm of Emotion – Born from Consciousness and Creativity, it governs feelings, passion, and the forces that drive mortal and divine actions.
The Realm of Death & Rebirth – Emerging from Time and Shadows, it embodies the passage between life and the unknown, ensuring the cycle of endings and beginnings.
The Realm of Will – A domain that influences determination, ambition, and the power of choice, allowing beings to shape their own destinies.
The Realm of Perception – Governing insight, awareness, and the ways in which reality is interpreted by sentient beings.
The Realm of Illusion – A counterpart to Perception, it shapes deception, dreams, and the malleability of reality where things are never as they seem.
These secondary realms are accessible to mortals in limited ways, through dreams, visions, deep study, or profound creative insight. Some individuals may become attuned to a specific realm, drawing upon its power in their pursuit of knowledge, art, destiny, or secrecy. Over time, mortals have sought understanding of these realms, forming beliefs, rituals, and philosophies around their influence.
