Cosmology

The Pantheon of Gods:
The Pantheon of Gods consists of Koibu's gods. The gods are usually immaterial in form, and was it not for their influence upon the world, their existence would not be apparent in any way other than the constellations in the stars, which is their physical form. The gods are not omniscient regarding the events and conflicts of the world, but they know a great deal.

Planes of Existence:

 * Prime Material Plane
 * The Prime material plane of existence where Farover is located. The prime material plane is located at the peak of the world staff, which holds it up.
 * Shadow Plane
 * A plane abandoned by the gods and left into the shadows, mirroring the material plane and located at the bottom end of the world staff. Creatures such as demons and Damned Men reside here. There are two portals to the shadow plane, one in the Sultry Ridge in Sunjann, and one in the Vashian mountain range in Keris.
 * Ethereal Plane
 * The plane where the gods and souls reside. Physically encompasses the area above all of the other planes, but also has it's own it's own equivalent space on the material plane as well.
 * Four Elemental Planes
 * Earth, Water, Fire, Air
 * Each elemental plane occupies a quadrant of a sphere, which surround the world staff.


 * The World Staff
 * The world staff is a giant wooden tree that holds up the prime material plane, and is located at the center of the four elemental planes. The world staff is the most highly magical object in the entire multiverse. Its branches sometimes protrude through, creating world trees, which are much less magical than the staff itself, but still magical and grow to massive size.

Death and Life:
Souls are the essence of life in all living creatures, and upon life and death the soul is either planted or removed from the flesh of the creature. Souls are reusable, and upon death they are taken to the moon on the ethereal plane. Death in this world is final. Even the most powerful clerics have not been able to resurrect the dead for thousands of years. A creature who loses a soul simply ceases to exist.
