The Netherealm

## The Netherealm and its inhabitants

The Netherealm is the primodial realm of the Userverse, it was there before the Gate gods and the Avatars, even before any living beings that is ever born in there. The Netherealm is the creation of a god called Demiurge, a being able to use both the Nexus and the Cosmic essence. Therefore, the Netherealm contain an infinitesimal proportion of those, explaining its overwhelming power and its high dimensionality. Almost all the inhabitants look like humans if not all of them.

Any structure of the Netherealm contain at least an infinity of countable dimensions. The inhabitants themselves, even if having the same dimensionality, are just a few to actually have useful abilities. Even though, they are all at least comparable to a lv1 Ignis User.

More precisely, the kids and the disabled are similar to lv1, when the grown men and woman are comparable to lv2 Users if they are in a very good shape, like soldiers for exemple.

## The Guardians

The Guardians are alternate versions of the Conduits, that protect U!Alphatale against the forces of evil and the external threats. Instead of concepts, most of them represent different elements, and their element is often used as their name or title too :

The Guardian of Wind, the Guardian of Water, the Guardian of Fire, the Guardian of Earth, and the guardian of Lightning. There is also the Guardian of Invincibility, only Guardian representing a concept, excluding the royal family of the Netherealm.

## The King and the Queen of the Netherealm

### Njord

Njord is the queen of the Neatherealm, and the most powerful being inside it. She's the Guardian of Power, and is often depicted as the goddess of the Sky. She's also considered one of the most beautiful godess of all Eden, and was once in a political wedding with Tiamat, the god of the Absolute Void. At the end, when the peace started to collapse, she divorced and remarried with the one known as the strongest Guardian after her.

## Thanos

Thanos is the Guardian of Strength, the king ofthe Netherealm and husband of Njord. He married her a thousand years ago and after this they stood together on the throne, crazy in love for each other. They would never cheat on the other even if their own lives were on the line. Thanos especially, as he already rejected the offers of many sublim godesses coming from all Eden to have an 'intimate moment' with him. Most of the time, they didn't accept this answer and tried to force their way, only to end up getting erased by Njord.

But Thanos isn't simply a random attractive guy, but also the second most powerful Guardian, being known as the fifth more powerful being in the Userverse, and the third most powerful ex-aequo with Av!Shad when he use his axe, Ealia.

## Trivia / Facts

Tiamat was truly attracted to Njord due to her power actually making them feel something when they were together. When they divorced, Tiamat heavily injured Njord, by pure wrath.

The injury caused by Tiamat is the reason why Njord don't have any child, despite making out with Thanos all the time.

The two monarchs of the Netherealm would be ready to endure centuries of pain if it meant being able to have children.
