Emdes Universe

The Emdes Universe, sometimes merely referred to as "the universe" (although that term is slightly ambigous, as it may cause confusion with the material world) is the universe contained within the Elder God Emdes. It consists of multiple planes of existence of varying sizes and internal structures.

Two fundamental forces exist within it, Creation (wielded by God) and Uncreation (wielded by Mors). The latter force, however, takes almost no role within the universe, at least until it has grown to a sufficiently ripe state, where it will then be harvested. Creation in turn has been active since the very beginning, especially in its proxy form called mana, which the divine were able to use, as well as mortals, after The Shattering.

Mana was created by God and is a proxy form, or, more simply said, an extension of the force of Creation, the difference being that beings aside from God himself would be able to wield it as well, if they had the correct catalyst. Following the creation of mana, God created the catalysts to shape it, which took the form of souls, a manifestation of a creature's will.

At first, only two souls existed, as only two "creatures" or rather, entities existed within the world - God and Mors. God then went on to create the first divine beings, his children, in the form of the original sparks. These sparks, being the cores of a soul each had their own inclinations, will, ideals, intelligence etc. and varying degrees of power.
