Since there is no worldbuilding general anymore: I think I finalized my cosmology and tried to create a diagram to explain it and how it underpins my understanding of magic/divinity. >material reality was a circle once, but then got turned into a crescent by the gods to protect the "inner" part of the material world. >actual material world is the inside of the circle/crescent >mortals (black figures) exist in this while surrounded by a neutral spiritual realm (green) >the dark blue outside is the unshaped chaos from before creation >the bright blue is a calm inner bay where heaven has access and can protect the mortals >the yellow isle is the gate to heaven >demons must exist outside of material reality but can project into the green spiritual world or possess mortal people >projecting inside to influence mortals is easier if if the mortals are in the outer part of the material realm >demons in the inner bay are instantly smitten by divine angels (yellow figure) >if mortals die while on the outside area of the mortal realm, their souls (White figure) can be devoured by demons >if mortals die while on the inner area of the mortal realm, they can cross over to the isle >grey tower exist to guard both the inner bay from demons and also prevent mortals from walking into the outer area (they manifest as geological features in the material world). >the rgeen spiritual realm is also accessible via dreams for those who can dreamwalk What do you think? Does it leave any questions open? I wanted to include 3 kinds of spiritual realms with 3 kinds of magic and 3 kinds of supernatural interests (self-serving nature, divine order and subjugating opposition)
