Realms of the Great Tree

The Tree of Life

•The Tree of Life itself is ruled over by the Goddess of Light, Vethfolnir, and her two daughters Iggy and Morrie who reside within the tree's crown. Veth is responsible for creating souls from her down feathers and letting them float to the Lands of the Living below. Nestled in the branches above her tree are doors to other realms, which souls must walk along to enter the heavens.

Vethfolnia

•This is where all the mortals live, die, and are born. Being watched over by Veth in their living life, the other gods can influence these mortals and convince them to become their followers. When a follower believes in, worships and praises a god, that god will become more powerful. Sometimes gods or demigods will sneak into the lands in an alternate form.

Ceto's Seas

Ceto is the great Goddess of the Seas, and rules over all of the other nautical gods and sealife. While she rarely meddles much, praying to her is often custom for safe sailing, and dying by the sea often means she will guide your soul into becoming her follower.

Isle of Dragons

Floating in the skies above the mortal realms are isles where the Dragon Gods reside. Each dragon is an elemental god, which mortals can learn how to harness themselves through magic or alchemy. These elements range from common forms such as fire, lava, water, ice, earth, plants, metals or wind, to lesser known elements such as plastics, silica, toxins or sodium.

Nidhogg's Lair

Within the roots of the Tree of Life is the lair of Nidhogg, the God of Evil. Because the great tree's roots stretch underneath the mortal realm, all mortals can feel his influence regardless if they follow him or not. Those who do follow him are enlisted in his army-- over time, a mortal's body will become more and more deformed with evil corruption; growing spikes, horns, claws, or large armor plates on their skin. Nidhogg's Lair is a mortal's only entrance to the World of Shadows.

The Tree of Knowledge

As Vethfolnir resides in the tree above, her sister, Nott, Goddess of Shadow, resides in the Tree of Knowledge. Nott rules over the shades and the souless, and her down feathers float upwards to the mortal realm to create the touch of death. Along the cradle of her tree, great peaks of ice from Jotunheim jut out, making snow fall upwards through the rest of the realm. Her followers reside on the floating rocky planes that act as stepping stones along her tree.

Voodooloo

Just outside of Nidhoggs Lair is Voodooloo, the City of the Undead. Those who have died and yet are still somehow alive usually wander these streets, either trying to figure out how to get back to the realms of mortals, or are making their home here. The ruler of Voodooloo is Anaisa, who sometimes refers to herself as queen. Her followers are often skeletons, zombies, rougarou and swamp beasts.

Jotunheim

Also known as the Realm of Giants, as all colossi or behemoths reside here. While they have no soul and are not truly living, they are beings that embody wisdom. Very rarely, mortals will attempt to use great magics to summon those from jotunheim, but more often than not they have no interest in the Realm of Light or the gods they follow. The leader of Jotunheim is Ymir, the first giant.

The Underealm

The Underealm is the realm of the dead, ruled over by Knocta, the grim reaper. He travels the mortal realms searching for those who had been touched by Nott's deadly down. Those who do not pass his test of weighing less than one of his feathers gets sent to the Underealm and transformed into one of his demons, where they must prove themselves before they can be allowed into their afterlife. This often involved being sent back up to the mortal realms as a spectre, where they must act as a guardian to another mortal. Underealm demons include succubi, incubi, devils, hellhounds, demonic harpies, horned toads, chimeras and others.

Hell

Below the cold, damp, dark Underealm is the bright and fiery Hell, with all nine of its circles. Hell is ruled over by none other than Lucy, the Goddess of Sin. Unlike Nidhogg, her followers are not corrupted by sin, but utilize sin similar to elements. Despite its rumors, Hell itself is actually extremely difficult to get into, and only imprisons fallen gods, god killers, or the truely damned. Lucy's followers are referred to as Formors, who use their great powers to ensure Hell's prisoners never escape.

Abyss

Abyss is, like her name implies, the sentient space in between realms. She is everywhere all at once, which allows her to bridge two planes of existence together. Because of this, many summon her (or rather, request entry to get dragged into her pocket dimension,) to transport themselves back and forth between realms. She has no concept of time, and time stops for anyone who steps into one of her portals.

Celestial Tower

As it's name implies, the celestial tower floats along the heavens and acts as a meeting place for all the rulers of the realms. Here, the King of Gods, Inua, rules over time and leads the God Council with his wife, Pythia. The main hall of the Celestial Tower features a giant table for the council, while the floors above are dwelling quarters for cherubs, seraphs, and other messanger angels.

Wunderealm

After escaping the Underealm, Lochlynn's mother, a succubus named Alice, became a powerful goddess and created Wunderealm for herself and her children. Unlike the Underealm, Wunderealm is bright, cheerful, and as equally chaotic. Here, death is outlawed, and the realm itself will change according to Alice's mood. Most souls who find themselves in Wunderealm get stuck there.

???

At the nineth layer of Hell, the Formors will gather weakened prisoners over a grate, and crush them with a giant piston. However, whatever unknown atrocity below the grate began to leak out, which formed a floating ball of an unknown oozing substance above the Tree of Knowledge. No God or immortal has ever been inside this orb, nor knows what it is or what is inside. It's speculated that Shadow Dolls are formed here.
