Well of Forever: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:45, 20 August 2018

The Well of Forever is a legendary location where all planes of existence overlap and meet at the same location. The exact location of the well in any meaningful expression of euclidean space is entirely unknown (and perhaps meaningless). Even so, it's influence spreads throughout the different planes of existence. The actual well itself is a vortex within a pocket of reality at the focal point where the layers of reality come together matter and energy breeching into the well can travel to any place in any reality at any point in time.

Physical Properties

The well itself is an intense distortion in space-time, far beyond the black holes at the centers of the largest galaxies. It is a black hole so intense that it not only collapses space-time into its core but also draws in other planes of existence and even realities of the multiverse into a singular point. The tidal forces alone disrupt and destroy any meaningful structure to matter that crosses its event horizon while energy is similarly disrupted and torn apart losing any sibilance of cohesion to its original form.

Openings

The unique properties of the well prevent the crossing into other realities directly, however, through unknown means there have been found openings to the well in various planes that connect to other planes of existence. These entrances are rips in the fabric of space-time that allow passage between planes through complex and ever-changing conduits and tunnels that form as reality breaks down between the different planes and areas of the multiverse. The openings are unstable and shift randomly throughout space-time.

Navigation

Navigation through the well itself is impossible, anything that attempts to directly enter the well is torn apart and its energy spread across multiple realities and planes of existence. There is only one way to effectively use the well to travel through the well intact, that is through the Verum Transitus, which sits within Void Space on a point constructed specifically to anchor it to the well. The structure is constructed with powerful magic forces that bend and shape the structure to interface with the well. Those passing through the Transitus into the well can navigate the complex tunnels of reality that allow crossing through between planes, realities, times, and locations in space.

-This is the mythical connection between the worlds.  Created by Onos and Myta together, in order to guard the mortals from the dead, in creating the well they cast barriers, splitting the world of mortals from the [[Ocean of Dreams]], where the gods reside, and the [[Severed Realm]] where the souls which cannot let go of the anger and hate of the mortal world are sent so they cannot spread their poison elsewhere.

-: Mortal World : Located somewhere in the Nargunar Spires with its exact location unknown except to meet accessed from the highest peeks, covered in snow, and within a deep cave in the center of the the site.

-: Ocean of Dreams : Located at the center of the realm, the large well is where the departed go to look again upon the living.
-: [[Severed Realm]] : Located at the center of the realm, the large well is at the bottom of a deep volcano, spewing forth a constant flow of steam, smoke, and ash to darken the endless sky.

-Mortals can only transit along the well with a blessing from Osyn, the Protector of the Dead and Dying, who controls the well.  Either they must acquire an object of power that she has blessed previously that serves as a key to the portal, or they must gain her blessing directly where she will open the well for them.

-Spirits cannot transit the well themselves, as the barriers prevent it.  The only way for a spirit to transit is to be carried along by Osyn, who has complete control over the fate of any spirit.
