For the most part, yes. But the nonhuman folk race cultures of #Tirial don't always assign gender roles you might expect. /1

#CosmicEgg #Tirial

Umaryn is a commoner and a tavern girl. She's on the upper end of her social strata due to her family owning an inn. She got 4 years of private tutoring abroad. However, in her home village she's a social outcast.

I'll go with #Tirial in the #CosmicEgg for now.

In Tirial, most societies are feudal. Social class is divided mostly between "high-borns" and "low-borns" with some gray areas and gradations in that structure. /1

And this is the case no matter how weird or "eldritch" it seems. So eldritch naturalism became the central premise for my fantasy multiverse.

From the top down, the #CosmicEgg setting is grounded in "science" even when it's not understood. /2

I've been told all my life that the supernatural was "objectively real." I asked myself what that would actually look like and the first thing I came up with was, "If it interacts with the natural world, it's categorically natural. /1

Something Umaryn finds helpful would be the enchanted swords she becomes soul-bound to, Flamedealer and Cinderwind. However, she initially would rather be rid of them since she knows they will radically change her life.

A big problem for my characters on #Tirial? That would be the gods themselves. Deities in the #CosmicEgg can and do make mistakes. And when a god fucks up, the consequences are world-shaking for mortals.

The Rot Freak is something terrifying. It's a hillock of rotting flesh surmounted by immense cadaverous-looking heads. But it's alive and anything organic it touches quickly rots away.

It's a mistake of the gods, basically.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders

In the #CosmicEgg multiverse, there is a world called #Tirial. The Uslarif, a race of immortals dwells there. Their history is grand. They have existed for so long as a race they've lost large parts of their history. /1

The #CosmicEgg was created when Aeton committed ritual suicide and all of his potential flowed from his wounds to form the multiverse. Before that, he was the only being in existence and the most powerful deity ever.

Why did he do it?

It's a secret. 🤫

Hi! I'm Michael and I'm building a fictional multiverse for fantasy writing projects called the #CosmicEgg. All across this setting, everything that appears "supernatural" is actually just eldritch naturalism.

Day 29
#CosmicEgg

Plans for next month? Ha! Every time I make plans, the universe seems to wreck them to one degree or another.

Something special about my #CosmicEgg multiverse is that it actually has nothing supernatural about it, despite feeling very supernatural and fantastic. If it interacts with the natural world, it is itself natural. Even gods. /2

Despite being an atheist and the cosmology of my multiverse being written from that perspective (ask me if you want), there is a lot of pagan symbolism. /1

A surreal, coiled shape resembling a rainbow-colored serpent or tendril rises from a layered, glowing ground. The background and the figure are made of concentric and spiral textures in vivid shades of blue, pink, green, and yellow.

The #CosmicEgg #Hindu: A golden egg, known as the #Hiranyagarbha, appeared in the primordial waters. The god #Brahma meditated within it for a year before breaking it open to create the sky and the earth.

#PrimordialEros: #Phanes is described as a radiant, androgynous being with golden wings. He represents the creative force of life & love & procreation, embodying the unity of opposites. Birth from the #CosmicEgg is a powerful symbol of new life & the separation of elements.

First, gods are the Platonic embodiment of one or more concepts. For example, you can have a deity who is the god of war, kingship, and thunder. He'll have vast power in those areas.

Before time, before gods, there was Chaos.
From the stillness emerged light, love, and night.

#CosmicEgg

I pre-plan a lot of my world building before I write. But it's impossible to plan out every single detail ahead of time. Some of it comes during writing.

They're also smarter than Earth cats. Like Earth crows, marmalots can actually plan for the future. Also, they "murr" rather than "meow."

Similar species are present across the #CosmicEgg thanks to the cat goddess Ubasti. /2

Errand Kind are about as close to "angels" as you get in the #CosmicEgg multiverse. They are the servants of gods. But they don't usually look like winged humanoids. Also, these beings can be evil, if serving an evil deity. /3

Day 1

Entities associated with good or evil? That's a little complicated because the #CosmicEgg multiverse doesn't have god and evil as objective properties of the setting. /1

Celestial bodies are often associated with summoning rituals all over the #CosmicEgg multiverse. Some eldritch entities simply won't answer except when the "stars are right."
