Myrex Anatornis

Myrex Anatornis is a world that is completely separate from other multiverses, subject only to the authority of the Hallowed Castle. Its rules are similar to other worlds that serve similar purposes, but notably, its entire cosmology chart is physically located on one plane. The shape Myrex Anatornis is notably not a sphere, it is instead flat.

One of the most notable differences between Anatornis and other worlds that resemble it is that the souls of the dead linger near the site of their passing for a period of time. After roughly a month, the a fallen soul begins marching in the direction of the coast, heading for the coastline that is nearest to the divine continent that most closely lines up with the mortal's alignment in life. A good soul goes north, a lawful soul goes west, a chaotic soul goes east, and an evil soul goes south. Once a soul has reached the ethereal sea, it sinks into the ocean and is held there. Notable souls keep walking, moving over the ocean as if it were solid earth, and until they reach their destined continent. There, their new life as a denizen of that continent begins.

The Lands of Anatornis
Much of Anatornis is covered by the ethereal sea, an ocean of dreams and souls ruled over by the ocean goddess Marissee. The vast majority of beings that die on Mundus come to rest in the embrace of the Ethereal Goddess, while some others who lived extremely notable lives are lucky enough to be able to cross the sea and reach the Divine Continent that best suits how they lived their lives. The Ethereal Sea has a certain magic of its own, independent of the other energies that permeate the world, and as such, there are some creatures that do live within the sea. These creatures are mysterious and very little is known about them, but few mortal creatures have survived an encounter with one.

To the north, the Divine Continent of Myrex Aurvam is the seat of all things good in the world. With the Great Tree Auvilis at its heart, blessings extend from this continent across the entire world. The snow-covered forest of Aurvam is home to many powerful beings that are considered divine by the lesser creatures of Myrex Anatornis. Many souls of the dead also dwell here, granted an eternal paradise for the supremely good deeds they committed in their mortal lives.

To the west lies the divine continent of Myrex Monulum, the seat of law. This continent is covered in a large number of uniform mountains, each one largely the same as the others. At the heart of this place is the Iurum, the Citadel of Law. The beings within are responsible for overseeing the order of the world, and they do so with great care and scrutiny. Serving these beings are all the souls of those mortals who upheld the law first and foremost, until the day they died.

To the east, the divine continent of Myrex Mutalae is found. This continent is ever-changing, its lands constantly breaking apart and reforming themselves. Each bit of the earth of Mutalae is covered in a vast desert, its sands always moving. At the heart of the continent lies the Mutated Tower, who's corridors and rooms are always moving. The beings on this continent prize freedom above all else, and ensure that no matter what laws are pressed upon the people of the world, each and every soul may live the way they wish, at least a little. Alongside these beings are those who sought to live their lives chaotically and never chose a boring route for themselves. The beings and their formerly mortal counterparts will regularly leave this continent and travel to the others, where they seek to spread chaos in places that are all too boring. However, too much interference leads to retribution from the eternals of Monulum.

To the South lies the volcanic continent of Myrex Corragnus. This tainted place is surrounded by the Sea of Blades, a subsect of the ethereal sea that is extremely treacherous to pass through, thanks to the smog from Corragnus and the number of rocky spires that stretch into the sky from the ocean's depths. Little is known about Corragnus, only that it is a place of darkness and sin. Selfish and murderous beings dwell her, plotting against those on the other continents. They rule over the souls of truly evil mortals, who committed no small amount of horrific acts against others during their lives. These mortals are tortured and twisted until their forms match their sins, at which point they join the armies of their masters.

In the center of Anatornis lies Myrex Mundus, the land of mortals. Subject to the energies and whims of the four other continents, the mundane and short-lived creatures of this place are extremely varied and different from each other. Their histories shaped by the powerful beings on the Divine Continents, the mortals of Mundus are always engaged in some war or act of treachery against each other, though some brave souls rise above the chaos and darkness to help others.

Beyond the four divine continent lie the lands of Itermeni. These sprawling, dark, lands are full of unknown horrors that are beyond the sight of the gods. Few have dared venture here, and most of those who do have never returned. Death is the best ending one can hope for in this lightless place.
