9V The Neptaverse

The Neptaverse spans nine interwoven frequencies of reality, each rippling outward from the innermost plane: the Matter. This central frequency teems with countless worlds, a rare few brimming with sentient life—shaped by evolution and the quiet machinations of the Nexi, ancient energy-intelligences who sculpt fate from behind the veil. To the Nexi, the material realm and its echoing planes form a vast and shifting chessboard, its inhabitants mere pieces in an eternal game played across the very fabric of time.   In the Age of the Silverhost, an overbearing theocratic empire rises from the ashes of an ancient inter-planar society lost to myths. The Empire’s foundation lies in a church consortium (Church of the Reflection Creed) that channels prayers to the Nexi through a creed of rigid control. A nepotistic elite cabal of old money merchant families and their conglomeration of Megacorpo-guilds wield monopolistic economic power. Both add layers of complexity to the Empire’s government, the Capa-Senate.   Church, state, and industry align in a singular agenda of control, their authority anchored by a network of enormous astral gates known as Lastra Porta. These gates, mysterious conduits capable of cutting through the astral sea, are relics of an ancient technology. The origins are shrouded in legend yet they are vital to holding together the Empire’s distant planets and solar systems.   The Neptaverse is filled with heroic tales, diverse magics, and scars of ancient conflicts. It is a universe where action and adventure are woven into the very essence of life; a weave where shades of good and evil blend into a tapestry of gray. Legacy, power, treasures; awaiting those bold enough to seize them, regardless of the morality of their quest.
