Multiverse

A theoretically infinite quantity of connected alternate realities, the timelines that contain Earth and Gaea are but two of multitudes that exist within the Void. Discrete realities that often branch from one another in a dendritic fashion at points of potential variation, the multiverse is shaped by the butterfly effect, by fate as it is determined by the Demiurge, and by interfering chaotic elements that are thought to either act upon Yaldabaoth's great experiment from without or are gaps in its own self-awareness that manifest in its work.
The multiverse serves as the primary setting, or perhaps the meta-setting, of all works within the Wayfarer's Guide proper, with the titular Wayfarers being individuals who have passed through the Void, travelling from one reality to another. The multiverse can be seen as the broader framework in which individual canon and non-canon settings and works can be written, allowing both to exist without being in conflict with one another, as the worlds within can be extraordinarily similar. 
The multiverse is generally poorly understood in the context of any given world that exists within it. However, worlds where magic is present and powerful, and where Wayfarers are likely to find themselves, often have a rudimentary knowledge of its existence even among the common people. However, the capacity to travel between the various realities safely and freely is rare, even among the most potent of mages and literal gods. Such endeavors invariably require extraordinary and unusual resources, vast amounts of time and energy, or incredible means needed to circumvent these costs when handled by mortals, and the more potent Divinities often find it more efficient to send emissaries of some sort, or even simply Aspects of themselves, on such endeavors than attempt to make such journeys themselves... even when they might otherwise waste away and persish should they not do so.
