The Pocket Universe
The Pocket Universe is an small universe of around 9.46 trillion kilometres in diameter. It takes the light only one year from reach from one end to the another. The universe consisted by an sphere made of an crystallised element known as aether with constellations of growled crystals embedded on it. Within the crystal sphere are the celestial bodies: sun, planets, moons and asteroids. Most celestial bodies has a atmosphere. Besides the physical realm of mortal, it also exist eight other dimensional planes. A enormous dragon, big enough to hold a pea on its claw, pulling the sun across the universe and give light to those nine realms.
Mortal Realm is the physical realm and is located in the centre of the universe with around 1.5 million kilometres in diameter. It have four inner planets and four outer giants with a belt of asteroids in between including a dwarf planet. Each inner planet is an living sentient planet with the soul of the four daughters inhabit them and all have one to two moons each. The continental planet Gaia is placed in the very core with the other planets orbits her in follow sequence: The moon Luna, jungle planet Nantzin with two moons, ocean planet Amtor with one moon, desert planet Isusus with two moon, the dwarf planet in the belt, the two gas giants and the two ice giants. Gaia is based on Hecataeus's world map and the Mortal Realm is based on Ptolemaic's geocentric model. Gaia is a compressed version of Europe, Africa and Asia with the other planets including the sun orbit it. Nantzin and Amtor is based on the pre-Venera imagination of Venus in fiction which are either an ocean world or an swamp world - not a world with an thick and toxic atmosphere as we know today. Isusus is also based on the pre-Mariner imagination of Mars - a dying desert world. Venera and Mariner are the two space exploration missions sent by NASA. Four Elemental Realms
The four realms of elements are the symbolic building blocks of the universe forming a metaphysical ring around the mortal plane with each elements pointed at one cardinal direction. Those are fire to south, earth to west, water to north and air to west. Spiritual and Shadow realms
The spiritual and Shadow realms are an eternal copy of the mortal realm but are more psychical than physical. The two worlds are in constant interaction with each other and the mortal realm. They are inhabited by spirits, both good and bad of various spiritual manifestations. Realm of Death
The Realm of Death are where the soul of a living organism go when they die a physical dead. No matter what the soul did in its former life, it would be judged and purged before being reincarnated back to the mortal realm or even being ascended to the spirit realm. Realm of Gods
If the Realm of Mortal is the heart of the universe, then the Realm of Gods are the brain. The realm consisted by an vast floating high-tech city around 3 kilometres in diameter divided into Under City, Lower City, Upper City and the Celestial Palace. From the city, the gods can observe their creation and maintain the well-oiled machine that is the pocket universe. No matter where in the universe, the city of gods can always be found by looking at the North Star on the night Sky. Based on Plato's Atlantis.
Cosmology
Chaotian Aeon
The first aeon of the pocket universe was called Chaotian due to be a very chaotic period which last 10 million years. It began as an infinitely small, dense and hot egg surrounding by a primordial cosmos of intense cold emptiness and darkness. When the egg hatched, a primordial chaos of energy and plasma forced its way out and expanded outwards in all direction. This new-born universe was so hot that matter could not be formed. Soon the dark and intense cold cosmos meet the oncoming chaotic force of heat and fire. The merging of the two opposite forces created a sphere of gas and plasma where the heated chaos attempted to force its way out while the cold cosmos tried to keep it at check. Over million years, the sphere started to congeal and create a shell of crystal. This shell of crystal could be clearly seen from night sky as glowed jewels. The era ended with when the universe was cold enough to matter to be formed and from this melding between cosmos and chaos, the primordial god Deivos was born.Hadean Aeon
The next aeon was known as Hadean describes the hellish conditions which prevailing on the pocket universe of this 5-million-year long period. The primordial god Deivos began to shape the universe after his imagination and created nine realms. In the very core of the universe, he collected the remains of the cosmic egg and from it he formed 4 rocky planets, 1 belt of asteroids with 1 dwarf planet, 2 gas giant and 2 ice giant. In each corner of the mortal realm, he created the elemental realms whose are the fire to the south, earth to the west, water to the north and air to the east. Above the elemental and mortal realms, he create a realm of spirit and in top the realm of gods. Underneath, he create a realm of shadow. In the bottom was the realm of death. The Nine Realms was bound together with a metaphorical world tree that support and connected the whole pocket universe. Each branches of the tree connected to a different realm and all can travel between the realms through the brances. As the final act, Deivos picked up the remains of the heated plasma of chaos yet to be congealed into the shell of crystal and formed it to a fireball. He sired a cosmos dragon (龍王), big enough to hold a planet as a small pea in its claw, to pull the fireball across the universe and give light to the nine realms. No matter where the fireball was in the universe, it will always let light fall on all realms and planets. Before the god retired to the City of Gods to observe his creation, he sired elemental lords to oversee each respective realms. Earth Mother Therazane, Fire Lord Ragnaros, Wind Lord [name] and Snow Queen [name]. To assist Deivos, he created two species – the caretaker and the supervisor. Earthens were responsible for take care of the nine realms with a base on the dwarf planet in the mortal realm while the Celestials were to supervise the nine realms with a base in the greatest Gas Giants. Finally, he sired four daughters; Gaia, Nantzin, Amtor and Isusus, to inhabit the four rocky worlds and give them life.Archean Aeon
The third aeon was known as Archean meaning origin of life. At the beginning, the four rocky worlds were barren for life with molten rocks, boiled oceans and unbreathable atmosphere. It changed when the four daughters were born. While the Earthen formed and sharped mountains, valleys and coastlines on the rocky planets, the four daughters started in the process to give life to the planets. With the guide hands of the four mother-goddess, the molecules slowly evolved to single-celled lifeforms, to multi-cellular and lastly to a complex lifeforms in a span of 15 million years. The bacteria were the first form of life to make its apparent and the first great evolutionary divergence produced the algae. As the algae started to spread across the worlds, the atmosphere became more breathable. Soon or later, the fungus divergence from algae. The era ended with the plant divergence from algae and the animal divergence from fungus. At the same time, the elemental lords made their own realms based on their elements. The Fireland was an ocean of magma and ash-filled air and the only safe heaven were islands of jagged rocks with own hostile ecosystem. The Hollow Earth was, as the name suggested, formed as a hollow world lined with caves, tunnels as well metal and minerals with a hardy ecosystem of subterranean flora and fauna. The Endless Skies consisted by semi-permanent structures of cloud with an ecosystem of cloud-critters and floating jellyfish. The Iceland was a land of frozen wasteland and glacier as well deep blue seas with a tundra and marine based ecosystem.Cambrian Aeon
The fourth aeon started with the appearance of plant and animal lifeforms in all four worlds known as Cambrian which last another 20 million years. This was also this period where the four rocky planets divergence wildly with each own evolutionary patch clearly could be observed – both biological and geological. Gaia became a world with a large central and almost circular landmass with an inland sea spilt it in two or almost in three. The climate was distinct temperate with ocean covered 60% of its surface with the mammalian as the dominated species. Nantzin became a world with a large belt of landmass with oceans in both poles. The landmass was covered with thousand lakes dominated by tropical swamps and dense vegetation. Climate was distinct tropical with temperature as high as 20°C in average with the avian as the dominated species. Amtor became a world with 80% of its surface covered by ocean with several large continent-islands and smaller group of islands with the amphibian as the dominated species whose use the islands as resting place. Isusus became a completely desert world with only 20% of its surface covered by ocean and was located in north pole. The vegetation were scare and could be found in more temperate polar regions or in oasis scattered through the landmass.Sophean Aeon
The fifth and last aeon before the era of civilisation started with the first sign of intelligence of various group of animals on those four worlds. A period that last five million year from the beginning sign of intelligence to the rise of complex societies. This aeon was known as Sophean Aeon meaning wisdom. Across the Sudan savanna in Gaia, the hominids started to group together in a clan-like structure. In the swamped jungle of Nantzin, the theropods started to flock together in a community-like structure. Within the ocean of Amtor, the giant frogs started to migrate from island to island in a horde-like structure with large families. Wandering between oasis of Isusus, each generation-group of the lizards started to form a herd-like structure. Within the last half of the aeon, true sapiens species make its appearance with the mastering of toolmaking and control of fire. In the last half million year, the ancestor to the modern sapiens species went from animal communication system to symbolic communication system and moved from a scavenging lifestyle to hunting-gathering lifestyle and started to spread to rest of each respective worlds. With some few hundred centuries before the era of civilisation, the modern anatomically ancestors were born. Those were the Humans of Gaia, the Tengu of Nantzin, the Anoures of Amtor and the Drakes of Isusus. The lifestyle of those ancestors changed very little until the first revolution gave a rise to complex languages, figurative artforms, composite tools, blade technology and religious ideas. This revolution was known as behavioural modernity and happen some fifth thousand years before the era of civilisation. Very quickly, they became the most dominate species and came up in the top of the food chain. Five thousand years before the age of civilisation, the second revolution happen with the transition from nomad lifestyle to settled lifestyle with the discovering of pottery and domestication of animals and plants with each sapient species developed own unique diet. The humans developed a crop-based diet, the tengu developed a vegan-based diet, the anoures developed a marine-based diet and the drakes developed a pastoral-based diet. Villages and proto-cities started to pop up across the most fertile areal in the four worlds such as around the eastern part the inland-lake of Gaia, the largest island-continent of Amtor, around the coastline of the sole ocean in Isusus and along the southern coastline of Nantzin jungles. A second important change happed as well with the worship of nature besides their own mother goddess. For each stone, for each animals, for each river and for each plant they worship including their own ancestors resulting in a spiritual manifestation. Those new-born spirit started to inhabitant the spirit realm or in one of elemental realms and for each worshiper they gathered, more powerful they became. Soon or later Pantheons of various form of gods was born. In return, the divine and elemental powers gathered their fellowships miracles and wishes through rites and prayers. Soon the five prehistorical aeons ended with the rise of the first cities, writing system and metalworking.Nine Realms
The Pocket Universe consisted by one physical realm and eight other dimension connected together through a world tree. While each realms including the world tree have difference names for each culture and each species, the name of those realms present here are generalised names. As the name suggest, the Nine Realms is based on the Norse cosmology as well the classical elements Mortal RealmMortal Realm is the physical realm and is located in the centre of the universe with around 1.5 million kilometres in diameter. It have four inner planets and four outer giants with a belt of asteroids in between including a dwarf planet. Each inner planet is an living sentient planet with the soul of the four daughters inhabit them and all have one to two moons each. The continental planet Gaia is placed in the very core with the other planets orbits her in follow sequence: The moon Luna, jungle planet Nantzin with two moons, ocean planet Amtor with one moon, desert planet Isusus with two moon, the dwarf planet in the belt, the two gas giants and the two ice giants. Gaia is based on Hecataeus's world map and the Mortal Realm is based on Ptolemaic's geocentric model. Gaia is a compressed version of Europe, Africa and Asia with the other planets including the sun orbit it. Nantzin and Amtor is based on the pre-Venera imagination of Venus in fiction which are either an ocean world or an swamp world - not a world with an thick and toxic atmosphere as we know today. Isusus is also based on the pre-Mariner imagination of Mars - a dying desert world. Venera and Mariner are the two space exploration missions sent by NASA. Four Elemental Realms
