The Koverse

[Medium]

anyways peeps.

anyways;

im making a connected universe.

i've created (so far) 2 solar systems; The Vurnish System, and The Queltan system.

The Realms:

High - The physical realm, the realm you and I are in.

Higher - The mind-centric realm, the realm where thoughts and ideas culminate. Souls are visible from this realm.

Highest - The highest realm, where peoples souls come from and where all Highest beings can reside. For example, the Thought, which currently resides on the plant Glivurni, of the Vurnish system, is a Highest being. Humans, as seen on Glivurni for now, are High beings with the potential to be a Higher being.

Random Info:

- [ ] Wyvrn(s): Wyvrns are Highest beings, and each has control of one of the 6 Elemms. Depending on the Elemm, the personality of the Wyvrn is corresponding with it. The Wyvrns are named in accordance with the Elemm they command. Fy, for Fyre. Wor, for Wator. Uth, for Urth. Ay, for Ayr. Pla, for Plaant. And the lost Elemm, Dekay, with the Wyvrn Dek.

- [ ] Elemm(s): The Six Elemms are the guiding hands that created the Koverse, in cooperation with the 6 Wyvrns. The Elemms are fundamentals of cosmic energy as the base forms of life and energy. Fyre, Wator, Urth, Ayr, and Plaant. The 6th Wyvrn commands the lost Elemm of Dekay. Because Fyre corresponds with Wator, Urth with Ayr, then Plaant corresponds with Dekay. Because Dekay, and its Commanding Wyvrn, Dek, is gone, the balance is off, which is partly why Pandura was able to gain so much power, and why it took so much to trap her.

 

Note: The Thought is the Wyvrn Pla. Because plants are many, Pla is a hivemind, referring to themselves with pronouns such as us, ourselves, and we.

Systems:

 

The Vurnish System

The Vurnish System is the setting for the Verdur Trilogy, and is the first system I came up with.

Planets:

- [ ] Glivurni, a planet in the habitable zone of this system's star, home to The Thought, and humans, as well as the demigoddess Pandura, and a couple for now unnamed Koversal beings.

- [ ] Qovurni, a planet with an orbit twice the diameter of Glivurnis orbit. A gas giant, typically regarded as a higher being by humans on Glivurni. In the sky of Glivurni, it shines a gentle cyan.

Moons:

- [ ] Around the planet Glivurni, we have the moon's Nruv and Lii, which shine deep green and blazing yellow, respectively.

- [ ] Around the planet Qovurni, we have one moon. Named simply Ae, this moon shines a deep red as seen from Glivurni, a stark contrast to the plant it orbits.

Statistics of the Vurnish system:

- [ ] The planet Glivurni has a gravity of 0.7 Koverse standard, with 1 Koverse standard being the same as 1 Earth standard in our own universe. It has a circumference of 30,272 miles, larger than earth, and the moons are 7,399 miles in circumference for Nruv, and 5,271 miles for Lii.

- [ ] The planet Qovurni has a circumference of 52,624 miles, being nearly double the size of earth, but only about 1.6x the mass, resulting in a gravity of 1.75 Koverse standard. The moon Ae is small, at 2,371 miles circumference, with a gravity of 0.3 Koverse standard.

 

The Queltan System

The Queltan System is a system I came up when I was bored, and might be the setting for a second book series. I don't know yet. For now, it's just a cool system.

Planets:

- [ ] Gual, main inhabited planet, at war with inhabitants of Quel

- [ ] Quel, second inhabited planet, at war with inhabitants of Gual

- [ ] Quool, small dwarf planet at the farthest reaches of the system

Moons:

- [ ] Bhe, orbiting Gual, colored sky blue 

- [ ] Grt, orbiting Gual, colored maroon

- [ ] Liu, orbiting Quel, colored dark purple

- [ ] Roq, orbiting Quool, colored bright green

- [ ] Afe, orbiting Quool, colored banana yellow

- [ ] Woi, orbiting Quool, colored blinding white

Statistics of the Queltan System:

- [ ] Gual has a gravity of 1 Koverse standard, and a circumference of 27,961 miles, and is the most earth-like planet in the entire Koverse, with basic humanoids. The humanoids have rocky flaky skin, but they are incredibly durable and have learned to manipulate earth and dirt and rock (see Earthbending). Guals moons, Bhe and Grt, have a respective circumference of 2,513 miles and 12,984 miles. Grt, with such a mass as it has, pulls on the massive below-ground oceans of Gual, creating massive reappearing pools and affecting the lifestyle of Gualian’s.

- [ ] Quel, another earth-like planet, has a circumference of 32,755 miles, and a gravity of 1.2 Koverse standards. It is less earth like due to little land, mostly water, and heavily influenced by Majic, with the Quelians having evolved to live in the water and manipulate it to their will (see Waterbending). Quels moon Liu is small, with a circumference of 1,742 miles.

- [ ] Quool, the small uninhabited dwarf planet on the outskirts of the system, is small and gray, and has a circumference of 12,374 miles, a similar size to Guals moon Grt. It has three moons; Roq, Afe, and Woi. Respectively, the three have circumferences of 2,344 miles, 4,843 miles, and 3,867 miles.

 

 

If I come up with more, which I probably will, I'll add it here.

note on the use of the word Majic: It's a filler word as I figure out the Magical Mechanics of this universe. Still needs a LOT of work!!!

I like it! Looking forward to reading about more, especially about whatever you end up making the majic system

How much interaction is there between the Realms?

So cool! Keep developing this, it's awesome

Depending on which realm they interact with normally, (Humans with the High, The Thought with the Highest), they can interact with any realms below them. High beings can be trained to interact with the Higher realm, but it requires much use of Majic. High beings cannot interact with the Highest realm without Highest being intervention.

[The Wandering Wizard]

Majic = Magic = Magyk

[Medium]

new spelling pog?

[The Wandering Wizard]

No, there is a book series that magic, the whole book, is spelled Magyk. It's even the title of the first book.

You're majic made me think of it.

Very interesting majic system and universe

Edited June 21, 2022 by The Wandering Wizard

yeah ok i thought it looked a little familiar.

mine will stay majic for the time being.

thanks for the kind words Wizard

Introducing...

The Elemms and the Wyvrns!

The Elemms and their Guardians, the 6 Wyvrns, are the Koverse's equivalent of the Dawnshards and Shards (Vessel, not power. Or both. Whatever.) of the Cosmere.

Spoilered down below (for size) is a report on all 6 Wyvrns and how their Guardianship over the 6 Elemms shapes their personalities.

Spoiler

Dek (Male, age ???): The Wyvrn Dek, who wields the Elemm Dekay, is described as looking like a vast yet skin-and-bones black dragon (DND Black Dragon meets HP Thestral). Due to his Guardianship of the Elemm Dekay, it has affected his personality, as well as his appearance. The personality of Dekay can only be described as “destructive.” And “hungry.” And a thousand other similar adjectives. Now, usually, a Wyvrn is able to… ‘rein in’ the personality of its Elemm, but in the case of Dek, he embraced the personality of his Elemm, and let it corrupt him. As such, Dek uses the powers of instant decay of life, weakening of life, and other similar abilities to his own advantage. Dek’s personality in relation to Dekay is greedy, smug, snarky, and a thousand more similar adjectives. Dek roams the universe, shadowed by the dark aura of Dekay, eliminating any worlds in his path, and using the life he gains from those worlds to better his own abilities. The other Wyvrns have not been able to apprehend him.

 

Pla (Female?, age ???): Pla (or The Thought) is the Wyvrn with Guardianship over the Elemm Plaant. Pla is described as looking like a long, Chinese-dragon-esqe Wyvrn made of coiled vines and flowers. The personality of Plaant is described as nurturing, kind, and alive, and the personality of Pla is not so different. As such, they made their home on Glivurni and created human life there, for no other reason then they wanted a reason to raise and nurture something akin to a child. Due to the nature of plant being many in one place at once, Pla is a hivemind, and refers to themselves as multiple beings. One of Pla’s fatal flaws is arrogance, as it is difficult for them to acknowledge that someone that she had a part in creating could become… evil. Hence, they have had some internal trouble dealing with the betrayal of Pandura. Pla is aware of the threat that Dek is, and the minor threat that Fy and Ay are, and is confident that they can defend Glivurni against Dek.

 

Fy (Female, age ???): Fy is the Wyvrn with Guardianship over the Elemm Fyre. Fyre is an unpredictable Elemm, and as such, Fy is as neutrally unpredictable as fire. At one moment, Fy will be warm and compassionate, like a flame in a fireplace, and the next moment, she’ll be violent and angry, like a wildfire. Fy has been described as looking like a huge phoenix made of flames. Fy does not currently have a home planet, but instead wanders the cosmos. Fy is a minor threat to the cosmos as a whole, along with her partner, Ay, due to her random bouts of aggression.

 

Uth (Male, Age ???): Uth is the Wyvrn with Guardianship over the Elemm Urth. Urth is a firm, unyielding, just Elemm, and as such, Uth is harsh, yet fair. Uth has made his home on Gual, and when he created human life there, some of his essence was placed in them, creating the rocky Urt subspecies of human. Uth rules over them without actually ruling over them, like a parent supervising their child, and letting them learn lessons for themselves. Uth’s form has been described as a 6 legged dragon, whose stature is imposing and unmoving. The entire body is colored as a red clay, with streaks of light and dark brown all over. While he has wings, they are rarely used, as he spends most of his time secluded underground. Uth’s temperament is calm and composed, although on rare occasions his temper flares, causing earthquakes all around him.

 

Wor (Female, Age ???): Wor is the Wyvrn with Guardianship over the Elemm Wator. Wator is fluid, ever changing, and not exactly stable. Wor’s personality reflects that, as she is indecisive, compassionate, and fearless. Wor resides on the planet Quel, and created human life to be able to live in water, and breathe it as if air, but also breathe actual air. Human life there can also manipulate the water around them. (Majic?) Wor looks like a slim, long dragon with large wings that can be tucked into her body when swimming. On the bones of the wings are small fins, that protrude from the body when the wings are tucked in, allowing for faster and more stable swimming. Wor is not a threat to the Koverse, but is well aware that her old friend Dek is.

 

Ay (Female, age ???): Ay is the Wyvrn with Guardianship over the Elemm Ayr. Ayr is a similar Elemm to Fyre, if only through personality. Ayr is constant, changing, and flamboyant. Ay is similar to Fy, and as such, is in a relationship with her. Ay’s form is described as looking like a large translucent eagle. Due to her translucence, the colors of an eagle (her eagle at least) are muted, with browns and grays and some whites. Ay and Fy are both a minor threat to the Koverse.

Seems similar to the shards, but each universe will have their own gods. This seems really interesting and I can't wait to read some of your stories. When are the first parts of the korverse coming?

I wrote chapter 1 of Verdur 1, and I'm about to post it in the Verdur Trilogy topic. And you've already seen the prologue!!

WOAH I love it. The alternate spellings are so cool, Urth blows my mind. Can't wait to read some of the Koverse! 

[Medium]

All of the above postings by me are still canon, but will be going through changes after I finish writing the first draft of Verdur 1. The rest of the Koverse will be on hold until at least midway through production of the first draft of Verdur 2, as by then, I expect to have a decent view on the worlds and universe as a whole, and can loop more Koverse-heavy topics into Verdur 3.

The Koverse and the Verdur Trilogy combined is my biggest endeavor EVER.

I can't wait to finish and share it.
