The Nine Realms

In the vastness beyond time and stars lies a cosmos of pocket realities, known as the Nine Realms. Each is a world unto itself—complete, distinct, and unaware of the others—suspended in the folds of a greater, unseen existence.   They are not aligned by order or hierarchy. Some are ruled by gods, others by mortals. Some bask in the light of creation, others simmer in the dark depths of ruin. Yet each is bound to a hidden nexus called Primordia, a realm-between-realms where the metaphysical chains of fate converge. These chains connect to ancient sites scattered across the Nine Realms—each one an Anchorgate, silent and slumbering, awaiting a time foretold in myth and feared in prophecy.   That time is the Convergence.   When it begins, the veils between realms will thin, the Anchorgates will awaken, and the boundaries that once kept the Realms apart will dissolve. Gods, monsters, and mortals alike will be swept into a conflict that spans realities, reshaping the fate of the universe.   Until then, the Nine Realms turn in solitude. But the chains are stirring.
