Codex of Worlds

The Codex of Worlds is the official registry of every plane and Prime world that has ever Manifested in the Kirinal Pit.

Each entry receives a unique designation determined by:

• Plane Type: Prime, Outer, Inner, Far, etc.

• Date of Manifestation: e.g., the 3rd Shatter of Tasagem, 3208 F.A.

• The Call: The Diver's Cypher, e.g., Horn 2 Prime Earth-828 Humaoid Population 3 Magic 1 Tech 6

• Manifest Count: How many times the world has manifested

• Lodestar Beacon ID: The magical identifier that allows the Orrery of Worlds to locate it for future visits.

Structure of an Entry

Each entry in the Codex follows a standardized format developed by the Surveyor and perfected over time.

Ixalian

(Inhabitants name for the world, if any)

Beacon ID: H2P-09233227

Stands for Horn 2 (Day of War), P for a Prime world, date of first manifest.

The world of Ixalian is ruled by vampires and has manifested on both Prime and Shatter twenty times over the years. Its first appearance resulted in a catastrophic breach of the Bastion of Borthakar. It remains a hostile civilization and is an automatic Horn 2.

Access and Use

The original copy is maintained by Two, The Surveyor of Worlds and kept in Chagroth's Tower. Anyone with an ident-a-hedron can query the Codex, receiving summaries, historical records, and the Calls for each world. Sages, traders, and the military all use it daily.

Formal vs. Informal Designations

World's use their known names whenever possible, preferably the inhabitants' preferred name. Many manifest worlds are uninhabited and officially known only by their Beacon ID. For many worlds that only appeared one time, or weren't memorable, that designation works.

But memorable words get nicknames from the Kirinalo populace. Some include: "The Tower of Flesh", "The Sea of Sweet Wine", and "The Empty Heaven"

The Infinite Earths Dilemma

Of all the worlds in the Codex, the most interesting are the E-Series Prime Worlds, a seemingly infinite parade of very similar worlds known as Earth.

Each one insists that it is the "true" Earth, bringing along their own contradictory naming conventions: Earth 616, Earth Prime, Earth-52, and countless others.

The Codex classifies them as EP variants, assigning them sequential numbers in order of their appearance. The Isekai of the Zone have their own sorting philosophy that only they seem to understand.

So your Earth has no magic. It's the year 2025. And the president is... Oh no! You poor bastard!
