The World before the Break

Myrex Anatornis is a cosmology that is completely separate from other multiverses, subject only to the authority of the Hallowed Castle. After the Planebreak, Myrex Anatornis settled somewhere in the greater sphere of creation.

This page pertains to the lands of Myrex Anatornis from before the seperation.

### The Land That Was

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

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

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

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

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

In the center of Anatornis sat 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 were extremely varied and different from each other. Their histories shaped by the powerful beings on the Divine Continents, the mortals of Mundus were always engaged in some war or act of treachery against each other, though some brave souls rose above the chaos and darkness to help others.

Beyond the four divine continents were the lands of Itermeni. These sprawling, dark, lands were full of unknown horrors that were beyond the sight of the gods. Few dared venture there, and most of those who did never returned. Death was the best ending one could hope for in that lightless place.
