Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shardstone" data-source="post: 9562272" data-attributes="member: 6807784">For my setting of Scavenger, it's a custom cosmology called the Beyond. <a href="https://jila.colorado.edu/~ajsh/insidebh/penrose_kerr_rev.gif" target="_blank">Its based off of Penrose diagrams</a>, which are theoretical models of the multiverse IRL. Essentially, black holes (or things similar to black holes) can be used to access an adjacent Beyond. Each Beyond is its own universe, and the further you get from the base setting, the more wildly the laws of reality change, leading to wildly different universes. Characters primarily use Monoliths built to be gateways to travel to other Beyonds. There is one in their world, which leads to a destroyed hubworld, and that leads to all others.There are also sub-levels of reality: the Void (a place we go when we dream in other Beyonds, as our brains can't process the universe well) and the Redshift (shardstones create magic, and inside every shardstone is a portal to the Redshift, where all information -- including those killed with or by magic -- appears as these white-flame reverberations.No planes of fire or law or Hells for Scavenger; it's a project all about using contemporary science ideas for the basis for fantasy in lieu of traditional ideas like the Four Elements or Good & Evil.</blockquote>
