Realms and Cosms

A cosm is a reality. Each cosm is an entire universe with its own physics and unique properties such as axioms and world laws that define what is possible in that cosm. There are an infinite number of cosms. Travel between cosms is possible, and through the use of a Darkness Device, cosms can be invaded.

A realm is an area of a foreign cosm that a High Lord has invaded with the use of a Darkness Device, stelae, and maelstrom bridges. Realms take on the axioms and world laws of the invading cosm, but a High Lord can tweak these in the realm to better subdue the population or more efficiently drain the cosm's possibility energy. Some realms like Tharkold and Aysle take on the name of the invading cosm, while others take on new names, usually given by the High Lord.
