Realms

The Mortal Realm:

The physical world where Kael was born and raised. It is composed of rolling hills, cliffside villages like Lintara, and forests and rivers that once thrived under the sun's light. The disappearance of the sun has cast it into perpetual twilight, leaving the land gray, fog-laden, and slowly decaying.

The Astral Sea:

A vast void of floating islands, connected by bridges of starlight or navigable by celestial magic. The sea is an energy ocean, alive with magical currents, where gravity is variable and islands drift like shattered glass suspended in space.

The Veil of Starlit Echoes:

A sub-realm inside the Astral Sea; an isolated, mystical plane primarily used as a training and trial ground. Surfaces shimmer with moonlight and stars, and reflections bend reality to test perception and courage.

The Starlit Divide:

Another sub-region of the Astral Sea, more dangerous than the Veil. Islands are jagged, unstable, and heavily affected by shadow corruption. Magical energy flows chaotically, making it difficult to navigate without skill.

The Shadow Realm:

A dark, corruptive plane feeding on the stolen sun's absence. Home to Vaelis, Shadowborn agents, and other dark creatures. Its geography is twisted — forests of blackened bone-like trees, rivers of shadow, and skies perpetually roiling with storm clouds.

The Solar / Celestial Domain:

The original plane of the sun and source of Luminarch magic. Only fragments of this domain remain after the sun's disappearance, scattered across the Astral Sea.
