Primus Materia

Primus Materia, the sixth realm, is but one realm in the world tree, but to us it is a boundless expanse of worlds forming a tapestry of diverse landscapes and civilizations. Primus is a dynamiclv and ever-changing realm where the essence of life unfolds in myriad forms. Unlike the celestial paradise of Vitaterna, the mortal realm is characterized by the duality of light and shadow, where virtue and vice coexist.   Stretching from majestic mountain ranges to vast oceans, Primus Materia encompasses sprawling forests, bustling cities, and serene countryside. The realm is adorned with a kaleidoscope of cultures, each contributing to the rich tapestry of mortal experience. Cities rise with towering structures, monuments of ingenuity, while ancient ruins whisper tales of civilizations long past.   In the sixth realm, time is a constant companion, marking the passage of days, seasons, and generations. Mortals navigate the challenges of life, experiencing joy, sorrow, and the full spectrum of emotions that define their existence. The sixth realm is a stage for growth, learning, and self-discovery, as individuals forge their destinies through choices and actions.   Communities form the heart of the sixth realm, with people bound together by shared values, traditions, and aspirations. Mortals build relationships, families, and societies, creating connections that provide support and meaning in the face of life's uncertainties.   Yet, the sixth realm is not without its struggles. Conflicts, both internal and external, shape the course of history. Mortals grapple with adversity, confront moral dilemmas, and strive to overcome obstacles on their paths. It is a world where the choices made by individuals can influence the course of events, and where the consequences of actions ripple through time.   Creativity flourishes in the sixth realm, as artists, scholars, and inventors channel their passions into expressions of culture, knowledge, and innovation. The mortal world is a canvas for the diverse expressions of the heart, from the soaring notes of music to the strokes of a painter's brush and the eloquence of written words.   In this realm, kindness and goodness shine alongside the shadows of challenge and adversity. Acts of compassion, courage, and altruism illuminate the mortal experience, weaving a tapestry of stories that reflect the potential for greatness within mortal kinds.   Ultimately, the sixth realm is a place of growth and transformation, where individuals navigate the complexities of existence, make choices that shape their destinies, and contribute to an ever-evolving narrative. It is a realm where the journey itself holds profound significance, and the pursuit of a meaningful life is a universal aspiration.   In contrast to the sovereign rulers found in the other realms, Primus Materia lacks a direct authority. Instead, entities of considerable power exist within the realm, beings revered and worshiped by some. These revered entities are the World Souls, each presiding over one of the myriad worlds within Primus Materia's boundless expanse.   The World Souls serve as custodians of the delicate equilibrium between nature and destiny on their respective worlds. Devoted followers of these celestial entities are recognized as Druids. As a Druid's devotion deepens, they gain the privilege to entreat their World Soul through sacred rituals. In these rituals, the World Soul manifests in a blaze of radiant energy, taking on the form of a woman adorned in attire reflective of the unique essence of her world.   For instance, on a world covered in lush jungles, the World Soul may wear a gown woven from hanging vines, with flowers intricately braided into her hair. Conversely, the World Soul of a desert planet might be clad in snake skin leather adorned with blossoms from hardy cacti. In every manifestation, the intense gaze of the World Soul causes metals to glow molten hot.   The primary duty of a World Soul is to foster balance and harmony on her designated planet. She exercises influence over the world's destiny through subtle yet potent means, whether it be manipulating the weather, orchestrating shifts in tectonic plates, or guiding the actions of her devoted followers. In this way, the World Soul becomes a guiding force, shaping the destiny of her world within the intricate tapestry of Primus Materia.   Another formidable power within Primus Materia is not embodied in a singular entity but rather in a collective assembly of ancestral spirits. Comprising individuals selected from the most noble, selfless, and just among the departed, the Undying Court assumes the responsibility of shepherding souls from the throes of death to their rightful afterlife.   Upon mortal demise, individuals face judgment by the Undying Court. A chosen few receive the esteemed invitation to join this assembly, tasked with observing and guiding mortals across the diverse worlds of the sixth realm. A life steeped in goodness and love might earn a soul the privilege of eternal bliss in Vitaterna, while the depths of Infernus await those judged as harboring evil.   However, the Undying Court is not confined to meting out judgment solely at life's end; they also extend their benevolence to guide mortals actively seeking direction. Drawing upon the collective wisdom amassed through the ages, the Undying Court provides counsel and leadership to those navigating the intricate path of mortality. In this way, the assembly serves not only as arbiters of fate but as beacons of guidance, illuminating the journey for those traversing the complex terrain of the sixth realm.
