Isesda
Scene
The Laws of Isesda
1. All things in the world are creations of the very real creator-goddess, from the gods to the dirt to the mortal races.
2. There is magic brought about by the creator-goddess' use of her own being to craft reality.
3. The gods are a magnified mirror of real-world humans and their petty squabbles over nothing/willingness to hurt each other for their own desires.
4. The diversity of peoples in the world is representative of the gods viewing themselves as different despite being all literally children of one parent.
Cosmology
The true creation story of the world is that the creator-goddess came to a space of nothingness from somewhere else and sacrificed her physical being to meld with the entropy and make reality out of their substance (a creator-mother and destroyer-father melded together physically with all things being made out of them).
Different religions of the world have interpreted this in varied ways due to the lies and manipulation of the gods and long ages of mortals.

Principal Geography & Features
The world had been dramatically changed by the actions of the gods in the past, and now exists as 4 continents including one that's been shattered into an enormous island chain and another that's a supercontinent divided in the middle by a massive, unnatural mountain chain. All areas defy contentional geographic expectations due to divine interference.
Initial Active Setting
The worldbuilding scope is a whole cosmology with focus on the mortal world. The writing scope is usually much smaller, with the majority of my stories limited to the region of Raiven and it's southern neighboor Derathain.
