Fantasia is a new fantasy series that I started working on for the past year and I've already written eleven chapters for the story. Before all that, I had written down detailed descriptions of the world, its inhabitants, the magic system, and plots for each story. Today's entry will be about Fantasia's main setting, the world of Terra.
Cosmology: The universe is composed of nine planets (Mercury, Venus, Terra, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto), with the sun sitting in the center of the universe. Massive crystalline spheres composed of an incorruptible substance called aether holds each of the nine planets, the sun and the moon, all within a sphere of fixed stars. The air of the universe is called Pure Air, which is a purified form of gas vastly different from the air that living creatures breath in Terra. Though breathable, if one doesn't allow their bodies to acclimate to inhaling pure air, it can cause a person to remain focused on a single thought to the point of obsession and eventually drive them mad.
Creation: The universe was created by two gods, the God of Light and his twin sister, the Goddess of Darkness. They were simply called Brother Light and Sister Dark. Light is the god of light, creation, and vitality. He represents the physical aspects of the universe that governs vitality, giving life to forms that have none, and is responsible for creating the sun, planets, animals and plants. Dark is the goddess of darkness, destruction, and imagination. She represents the spiritual aspect of the universe that governs imagination, creating form out of nothingness, and is responsible for creating the stars, moon and the fae. They each gave their own creations a place in the universe, before settling on Terra to create life in the form of animals and fae. Together, they combined their energies to create humanity.
Geography: Terra consists of seven continents-America, Azteca, Europa, Asia, Africa, Australinea, and Antarctica. There are also seven bodies of water, the Fuscian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Ceres Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Cascada Ocean, the Aurelian Sea and the Spring Sea.
Inhabitants: Terra is home to humans, faeries, and a multitude of flora and fauna. Humans were the creations of both Light and Dark, born from the earth from the combination of their energies infused into the planet. They dominate most of the world, and many communities coexist alongside the fae. The fae are spiritual beings who embody aspects of life and nature. They are energy beings who take on the forms of human myth, legend, folklore and beliefs to better communicate with humans. They are separated into three categories based on nature, intelligence and power: The Bestia-Class, the Nature-Class, and the God-Class.
Culture: Terra is home to many cultures, both human and fae. Human religion is mostly dominated by the Church of Harmony that worships the gods Light and Dark. This church is further separated into two sects, the Lumen Sages and the Umbra Witches, who each worship their respective deities as the male and female aspects of the universe. There are also many human communities that still worship the fae as gods, namely those of the God-class. Magic also has a prominent place among the people of Terra; once seen as a powerful art, it is now a widely used practice by countries all over the world that is both utilized and studied for a myriad of purposes.
Technology: Over the course of the series, Terra's technology will range from Industrial Revolution levels of technology to modern day Earth levels, and finally to futuristic levels. Furthermore, another aspect of Terra's technology is magitek, technology that uses a special form of crystalline energy called Dust to mimic the effects of magic.
