Little Stuff I didn't know how to safely include + other stuff!
What is the difference between spirits and spiritual creatures?
Within Astracel, Spirits are entities that possess phasing and intangible bodies. They are often simply referred to as "Alofnikon" or "Phantoms". While they can be interacted with through guidance, they cannot be physically touched and are not always visible.
Spiritual Creatures, also sometimes referred to as "Ajimon Ravuf" or "Mortal Angels", are entities that have a connection to other realms, but possess mortal, physical bodies. They can be physically interacted with and are always visible to the naked eye.
What gets included within the Codex Tablets and why
While Astracel contains many types of Fauna and Flora, only those that are native to Astracel, or created here, receive a codex entry. This means you can still find ordinary animals such as horses, huskies, or black cats, even though they are not featured in any codex tablet. They have evolved in a similar manner and share nearly identical DNA with their Earth counterparts, with only a few exceptions. One such exception is the Reti-Lompent, a species that originated when a deer and a tiger mated. Over time, this hybrid developed into a distinct species unique to this world. Because of this, although deer and tigers also exist on Astracel, only the Reti-Lompent appears in the Codex, since the original animals can also be found on Earth. Similarly, Fauna and Flora found on other worlds, such as the Kinvivad from Odyra, are not included in the Astracel Codex. According to the lore, the team responsible for documenting the Codexes is composed of multiple Races and was founded by the Inser Foundation. There is only 1 Fauna species that is exempt from these rules, appearing on every world without any variation.
What is the Great Peace Treaty
The Great Peace Treaty is an agreement between the Humans, Hydromancers, Manifourians, Kamuzih, Ignarans, and Titanborns. It was established roughly 100 years before Human arrival and later expanded to include both Humans and Titanborns. The key rules of this treaty are to never seek war with one another and to uphold several shared laws. Additionally, if one nation is attacked by another, all other treaty members must provide aid in that conflict.
The Races that are not part of TGPT each have specific reasons for their absence. Terrans operate a largely underground {pun intended} market of illegal goods that are in violation by the TGPT. Lynxas and Khorul do not take sides and choose to assist whoever they are friendliest with/whoever pays the most. Luphirians live a peaceful lifestyle similar to monks on Earth. Eliors were treated as slaves for a long time and have vouched to never again interact with other Races. Lastly, the Shaoul Varon live a deeply holy life and refrain from interfering unless instructed by their eldest leaders.
As a general note: this is only a broad summary of these Races and does not mean every individual behaves this way. For example, one could say Humans are a violent Race with a long history of racism and sexism, but that does not mean all Humans are like that.
Who and What is the Inser Foundation
The Inser Foundation is composed of many Races, including some not represented within the TGPT. However, the leaders of the Foundation originate from the treaty’s member Races. Each Race appoints five representatives to serve as their spokespeople. These individuals decide on general laws and oversee major affairs. When a new law is proposed, it must first be approved by all Races and then voted on by the public, requiring at least 80% total approval. Even though some Races are not part of the TGPT, they still maintain large-scale operations that move through the TGPT system, such as the Terrans' harbor in Grûat or technological advancements made possible by the Lynxas. It is also important to note that the Black Manta Prison is property of the Inser Foundation.
Dimensions vs Realms
Dimensions are different universes. For example, Humans come from Earth, designated under the dimension ID sol_69101657296, while Ignarans come from Pyrhh, designated under the dimension ID sol_12380548463. Each dimension contains more planets and suns than one could count, and the number of dimensions that exist is theoretically so vast that no number can truly define it.
Realms are specific to each dimension and can also be called sub-dimensions. They are connected only to one dimension and nothing else. Examples of this include the Spiritual Realm on Astracel, as well as places like Heaven and Hell on Earth.
Known Dimensions
Known Dimensions are the dimensions currently recorded within the Codex. While the true number of dimensions is theoretically too vast to define, only a limited amount have been identified, named, or given a known dimension ID. The list below displays their corresponding worlds, including the names they have been given, their dimension ID, and their dominant species.
While I haven’t started creating characters yet, there is a set of rules I have created for myself, including some basic rules, species rules, and a few more joke-like ones. But in case anyone ever wanted to create a character, I might as well post them here :)
Basic Rules
Hair Colors: If working with data, include a natural hair color. The character can have a different hair color than what is naturally possible, but their natural hair color must still be included. For example: Natural: Blonde. Dyed: Green.
Height: Characters can’t be enormously big or incredibly tiny compared to the average height of their species. Exceptions can include things like dwarfism and gigantism, but don’t overdrastically do it.
Shiki Powers: Every character no matter what Eldrane they are, can only hold a maximum of two different Shiki powers at the same time. However this is still a rare occurance, with most characters only suffiecient in one type of Shiki.
Species Rules
Shaoul Varon: All Shaoul Varon look the same. Their only difference is black or white hair, and nothing else is different. They only have one gender and do not mate or have romantic interests in anyone. For more information, check Ralva Samara.
Khorul: Khorul are always adventurers or scavengers. They never stay in the same place for too long and have a variation of skin colors between a green-ish and blue-ish hue. They have a few dozen spots on their skin, and their hair is always coarse and stiff. At birth, the parents either take the baby with them while moving across the world, or leave the baby in the care of people they trust and retrieve them when they are older. For more information, check Nomadocaudus Khorulis.
Titanborn: Titanborns can use their "gifts" no matter the dimension they are inside of. For more information, check Homo Divinifortis.
Angels and Demons: Don't generally appear in the mortal world, but they have a natural form, and a mortal form.
Joke-ish Rules
Scrooge Rule: No OC can have as much, more than, or even close to the amount of money Scrooge McDuck has, the richest character in fiction.
Megamind Rule: Creating villains is fine, but a super villain can only be considered a super villain with good presentation.
Paradox Rule: The only character worthy of getting bored with insanity that they became sane, very sane, is Professor Paradox.
Shiki Powers
As I have explained before, "Magic" is simply the laws of nature, which can be tampered with if one finds the correct "wavelength", like a radio wave connecting to a radio. These "powers" are called Shiki, and while anyone can wield Shiki, only very few have mastered a specific Shiki in such a way that it can truly be considered a power. "Everyone can light a candle, but not just anyone can light a hundred at once". While technically anyone could use multiple types of Shiki, mastering even one takes a long time. Shiki also has a spiritual connection with one’s self, making it easier for a user to learn a specific type that suits them, while another type may be more difficult.
Usage
To use Shiki powers, one must wield a gauntlet or similar device that allows the user to tap into these different wavelengths, similar to how one cannot hear radio waves with their bare ears.
Aside from the gauntlet, they also need a special mineral that is connected to the Shiki element.
Skynotes
1. Shaoul Varon can render Shiki powers useless and have a unique kind of power of their own, which cannot be accessed. Shiki powers can also be compared to the "gifts" Titanborns receive at birth.
Below follows a list displaying each Shiki power, its "elemental" mineral, and the abilities that can be mastered within that specific Shiki.
SkyNote: While multiple "power abilities" are displayed, keep in mind that one generally has more control over one ability than another, creating even a wide range of users across each Shiki power on their own.

Jimbortan • Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il
Jimbortan
One of the many fallen religions recorded within Astracel’s surviving archives is the Jimbortan Faith. It was once revered by the Miziy’kains of the Ja’itvi clan, members of the greater Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il. Many murals from every lost civilization we have found depict divine beings walking amongst us mortals, as if we had once shared the same homeland. And while each civilization had its own set of Gods, it is remarkable how each "clan", so to say, was a member of the founding Dynasty. According to some old scrolls we found, every civilization fell just before the age of Varon Calni. However, it is never shown or written, neither here nor in any other locations we have found so far, why this happened.
While we know of many fallen religions, this was the first one to be discovered, or well, discussed. Our findings were entirely thanks to the Shaoul Varon, who, similar to us, do not know what happened. But since they are directly born of Varon Calni, they do their utmost to guard and learn its secrets. At the request of the Shaoul Varon, we have divided the Astracelian year of 581 days into 13 months, named after the Delmari’kovun.
We are still working together with the Shaoul Varon, trying to uncover the secrets from before the zero year, whether for this religion or the next. While universal translators developed by the Lynxas work like a charm, they do not seem to have the same effect on the runes found here. While the Shaoul Varon can easily translate them for us, they do not leave their homelands for any occasion. Therefore, studying the ancient language of Reynixian has become a requirement for any Eldrane species wanting to become an archaeologist, adventurer, translator, etc.
The High Delmari’kovun
’
Made up of thirteen supreme Gods, the Delmari’kovun holds the highest seat in the Jimbortan Faith. The Shaoul Varon have figured out the order of the Gods in terms of placement, giving us the order after which each month is named. Alongside the notations of each Delmarian were a few numerals, from which we have based the days within their month, as well as one specially noted numeral. These have become the basis for festivals, or days that already matched their now-official date.
01 · Eldoria: The Month of Love
-
Eldoria was known as the Goddess of Love, as well as the sister of another Delmarian known as Sylvanor. According to the scripts we found, she is described as a wandering presence who left trails of warmth, compassion, and harmony wherever she stepped.

He is described as the father of all draconic species across Astracel, and was known to encourage others to show affection toward the dragons he nurtured. He is depicted as a tall, beautiful man with silver-white hair streaked with black highlights, dressed in garments of a deep shadow color. Twin Gods are both born with the same domain, however, Dracoria always held a special place in his heart for dragons.

Skynote: While his wings allowed him to blend seamlessly with the creatures of the heavens, walking upon the earth made him instantly recognizable, because the wings could not be hidden away xD.

Araz: The Oldest Twin of Lightning

He is remembered as the oldest deity recorded to date within the Jimbortan Faith. During his lifetime, he was said to have shared a deep and special bond with his brother, even playing with his brother’s "children". He is depicted as an ancient man with long, silky iron hair flowing down his back and a thin moustache that nearly matched half its length.
Scrolls describe his gentle nature, often teaching mortals his personal fighting styles and, on rare occasions, allowing them to channel fragments of his divine authority through their bodies so they might briefly feel the presence of true divinity. In his later years, he became a member of the Kambian Kyin A Zismon, where he, together with Nyxar, Puril, and Ma’ak, forged the Sword of Farul, imbuing a portion of their divine authority within the sword.
{SkyNote: Shiki did not exist yet}.
Puril: The Dead Flame of Purgatory
Puril was known as the Goddess of Death, Blood, and the Empress of the Underworld. She is remembered as a deity who, despite ruling an entire realm, spent most of her time below in the mortal world instead. Scrolls suggest she held a deep fascination with mortal operas and theatrical plays, particularly those that reenacted the historic deeds of the Gods and the civilizations that came after them. In almost all murals, she is depicted in a vast blood-red gown adorned with black accents, and ghost-white hair that contrasted so sharply that the blood of her "victims" seemed to glow.
Though feared by many, she was not needlessly cruel; in truth, she was similar to the Earth term "Grim Reaper". Some mortals, however, were not "slaughtered" by her hands. Instead, they were chosen to become part of her household, bound like slaves and unable to leave due to their own actions while they were alive. During the forging of the Sword of Farul, her role lay in the creation of the blade’s material itself. In exchange, she forged a contract with the other members of the Kambian Kyin A Zismon: should a soul that lacks perfect balance attempt to wield the sword, their body would burn to ash, and their soul would fall into her "household" to be shaped as she desired.
Ma’ak: The Scroll Keeper
Ma’ak is known as the God of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Intelligence. He is recorded as a deity with a memory like no other, one who remembers all and teaches all. He spent most of his time in libraries across the world, teaching mortals about the history of Astracel, the formation of our universe, and the many worlds beyond it. He is one of the few Gods of whom we have found no murals, and the scrolls only limit our understanding of his divine authority.
While not much is known about Ma’ak, it is depicted that he was a member of the Kambian Kyin A Zismon, and one who forged the Sword of Farul together with three other Gods. It is described that the power he invested within the sword allowed its user to be granted not only a portion of Ma’ak’s own divine authority, but also the memories of its past wielders. In short, it granted the wielder of Farul the knowledge and power of all those who came before them.
Hanea & Hiraya: Harmonic Arts
Hanea and Hiraya are known as the Sisters of Resonance and Melodies. Hanea is recorded as the deity of Sound and Music, while her sister Hiraya is described as the deity of Poetry and Rhymes. Together, they are said to have given every species, every natural phenomenon, every unnatural phenomenon, and everything outside of those categories a sound, a way to create that sound, a way to form different sounds, and a way to combine them, just as the sisters complete one another. Every Estalon, every Sylvanite, and every sound across Astracel is said to have been granted by them, giving all things the means to express themselves through waves of vibration that others can hear.
Unlike some of the previous deities, they are depicted across many murals, always in the same forms. One of them is dressed in white harmonic garments that flow with the beat of sound, with hair that reflects the grass and all that lives among it. The other is dressed in a white rhythmic pattern that follows a set structure woven into the clothing itself, with hair that reflects the clouds in the sky and all that lives within them. While we are unsure which depiction represents which sister, we are certain that these two figures are Hanea and Hiraya.
According to some of the scrolls we have uncovered, both sisters were deathly afraid of water. While neither of them ever gave a reason, the Miziy’kains believed it was because sound travels faster underwater than above it, creating a shift in its velocity that they could not keep up with and disrupting their rhythm.
