In the Yggdrasilian cosmology, two fundamental forces exist: The Source and The Crucible. The Crucible, a wellspring of raw potential and boundless possibility, can be thought of as “paint,” while the Source, a stable and malleable medium, is the “canvas.” At the genesis of the cosmos, the Crucible was cast upon the Source, infusing the empty medium with boundless potential and creating the fabric of existence. The Crucible is personified as the Formless Mother.
When Hasadiah, the 1st Name of God & Avatar of Yggdrasil, faced Ymir, the 1st Born of the Yawning Void & Avatar of the Formless Mother, in the 1st Argument, Hasadiah won, and the Order of Yggdrasil was brought forward while the Madness of the Crucible was cast aside. Hasadiah and Ymir would set the terms for the 2nd Argument and bind them via Seven Sacred Seals that, when broken, would undo the reason of the world and begin the 2nd Argument.
Harbingers of the Shattered Path
The Seven Signs are ancient prophetic events that mark the progressive unraveling of reality. Each Sign is a cosmic threshold, a metaphysical transgression or omen that, once fulfilled, triggers the breaking of one of the Seven Sacred Seals that bind the Hyperverse together.
These Signs are not random—they are sequential, unfolding in a divinely ordained order. The First Sign must come to pass before the Second can be triggered, and so on. With each broken Seal, the stability of the cosmos weakens, making the next Sign more likely, even inevitable.
Each Sign corresponds to a specific Seal and its associated Rider, who embodies a primal force: Conquest, War, Famine, Death, Witness, Collapse, and Silence.
Though veiled in mystery, the Signs are not hidden from all. Queen Hasadiah, the First Name of God and Avatar of Yggdrasil, watches ceaselessly for their emergence, working to prevent them from manifesting. Should all Seven Signs come to pass, the Second Argument will begin—and with it, the fate of all creation will hang in the balance.

(Law, Logic, Reason, Structure)
Also called the Anchor Commandment, this is the prime law of the cosmos. It defines the logical infrastructure upon which all things depend—mathematics, causality, identity, continuity. Without it, nothing has coherence. It is the hidden lattice that lets the universe exist without collapsing into paradox or nonsense.
(Chronology, Spacetime, Timelines)
Known as the Kronitic Commandment, it ordains that time must flow linearly within all bounded realms. While time can bend or branch, it may not loop indefinitely without consequence. This law safeguards memory, aging, progress, and the linear record of cause and effect.
(Soul, Magic, Sentience)
This is the Soulfire Commandment. It ensures that every sentient being born within Yggdrasil possesses a SOUL and thus the capacity to wield magic, form identity, and experience meaning. Without this, the cosmos would be populated by husks—life without mind, mind without magic.
(Causality, Reaction, Logical Chain)
Called the Chain Commandment, it establishes that no effect can occur without a cause. Miracles may exist, but they have rules, sources, and consequences. It binds events to origin and consequence, stabilizing the cosmos by preventing metaphysical drift.
(Dharma, Fate, Sacred Choice)
This Guiding Thread Commandment gives every soul a Dharma—a true path that aligns them with their highest function in the web of existence. Though veiled, it is always present. The cosmos thrives when beings align with their threads. This law preserves harmony without tyranny.
(Death, Finality, Cycles)
Known as the Reaper’s Commandment, this law establishes that everything that begins must end. This includes lifespans, empires, memories, and even stars. It does not enforce cruelty but closure. Immortality may exist, but it must pay tribute to Death’s domain.
(Conservation of Energy, Cosmic Power)
The Universal Energy Commandment enforces that energy—magical, cosmic, or natural—can never be created or destroyed, only transformed. It ensures continuity between forms of power, enabling the existence of magical systems, stellar mechanics, and reality-forging rituals.
(Location, Realms, Dimensions)
Sometimes called the Firmament Commandment, it defines the spatial architecture of the Hyperverse. Every realm, plane, or dimension must have boundaries—even if they are porous. Without this, all places bleed together, and locality ceases to matter. This law is why gates and portals matter.
(True Names, Identity, Language)
Known as the Nomen Commandment, it binds existence to nomenclature. To name a thing is to anchor it in the lattice of meaning. This law is why spells, sigils, and True Names work—and why nameless beings are dangerous. It is also why forgetting can unmake.
(Divine Supremacy, Containment of Chaos)
The Prime Throne Commandment, also called the Limit Law, exists to cap the scale of any force, power, or being that rises. It ensures that no creation, even divine or apocalyptic, may eclipse Hasadiah unless she permits it. It is the failsafe of failsafes, binding even gods to the hierarchy.
The Ten Divine Commandments are safeguarded by the Cheruvim, the Choir of Sacred Guardians, who ensure that no false law is grafted onto the cosmic order, no profane hand reshapes their truth, and no power—mortal or divine—corrupts their design. It is the Cheruvim who enforce the sanctity of the Commandments across the realms, and it is they who seize transgressors, dragging them before the Court of God, where judgment is rendered by the unwavering Thronoi, the Living Wheels of Divine Law.
Also known as the Logos Fragmenta, or the Divine Lexeme
Definition:
The Seven-Part Word of God is a metaphysical construct and divine artifact within the Yggdrasilian Cosmology, representing the fragmented essence of Hasadiah, the First Name of God. It is both a cosmic relic and a living testament to the divinity's slain presence—each Word comprising a portion of Hasadiah’s will, power, and soul. These Words, when spoken or wielded, do not merely shape reality—they define it.
The Word was originally a singular, ineffable utterance sung by Hasadiah upon Hlidskjalf, the Throne of God, after the First Argument. It encoded the harmony between the Ten Divine Commandments and the living soul of creation, ensuring continuity between divine law and divine being.
Upon Hasadiah’s assassination at the hands of Judas during the Great War in Heaven (Loka-Yuddha), the Tenth Commandment—"Nothing May Transcend the One Who Watches"—was broken. Though her body perished, her essence obeyed the Seventh Commandment—"Power Must Be Preserved." Thus, her soul did not vanish but instead fractured into seven autonomous Words, each containing a distinct aspect of her divine essence.
These seven Words were seized or inherited by the Seven Conquering Kings, who rose during the chaos of the First Seal’s breaking. Each King speaks one Word, and through it, enforces their absolute dominion over one of the Seven Sovereign Worlds. Together, the Words constitute a totality of divine rulership. Individually, each Word is a fragment of power—immense, yet incomplete.
Each Word corresponds to a core Virtue of divine governance, now corrupted into a Domain of conquest. The Words are:
Each Word can be thought of as a verbalized metaphysical principle. When spoken by a being who possesses it, the Word reshapes the spiritual and physical laws of their territory. No two Words can coexist peacefully—this is why no Conquering King can permanently defeat another. Their balance of power is not political, but linguistic: the Seven-Part Word remains equally distributed, and thus, no King can reign supreme.
In theological circles, the Seven-Part Word is considered the true name of God fragmented—a Logos Corpus, or corpus of divine meaning. It is said that when all seven Words are spoken together by a being worthy of Hasadiah’s mantle, the Voice of God will return, and the cosmos will be restored from corruption.
According to prophecy, the one who reunites the Seven Words shall not only gain godlike authority, but also revive Hasadiah herself, bringing an end to the False Peace and initiating a new Sacred Age. This belief is central to apocalyptic and messianic cults, who refer to the prophesied reunifier as the Heir of the Logos or The Last Tongue.
In the beginning, there was only The Source and the Crucible. The Crucible was chaos, a well of boundless potential, raw and untamed, like paint without a form. The Source was stability, a vast and empty canvas, waiting for shape and purpose. When the Crucible was cast upon the Source, the two merged, filling the void with infinite possibility—the fabric of existence began. But chaos alone could not sustain creation. To bring order, the Seven Sacred Seals emerged, ancient runes that imposed law upon the wild essence of the Crucible. These Seals shaped the raw energy into realms and worlds, establishing the first threads of reality. From this primordial union rose Ymir, the 1st Born of the Yawning Void, the mightiest of beings. Ymir was both chaos and order, wielding the power to shape existence itself. With the Seven Seals, Ymir tamed the Untamed, becoming supreme and creating the race of Jötunnar—ancient giants who spread across the early cosmos. Through them, Ymir birthed a legacy of powerful beings: giants, ogres, and trolls. In time, Ymir used the Seals to shape Auðumbla, a cosmic being of life. From her came Búri, the ancestor of gods. Búri’s son Bör, through union with the giantess Bestla, bore three sons: Odin, Vili, and Vé. But the old blood of Ymir grew restless in them, stirring a desire to claim the Seals and reshape the cosmos. And so, the First War began. The young gods, led by Odin and his brothers, rose against Ymir and the ancient dynasty, and at the battle’s end, they struck down Ymir. The blood of Ymir spilled across creation, flooding the realms with new life and power. Victorious, these gods became known as the Rune Kings. Seizing the Seven Seals, the Rune Kings plucked three seeds from the Source and cast them into the blood-soaked sea, giving birth to Yggdrasil, the Hyperverse—a cosmic tree that would anchor the worlds and bind their power. They left Ymir’s old domain in ruin, crowning themselves the rulers of the new cosmos. The Seven Sacred Seals became their mark of power, guiding the Crucible’s energy through the ordered realms of Yggdrasil, sustaining the life that now flourished across creation.
Yggdrasil, also known as the Hyperverse, stands as the most fundamental and Truthful point in all of reality—a singular focal axis around which all creation and existence revolve. Yggdrasil itself is a vast, interconnected structure, anchoring countless realms and cosmic structures through its branches, roots, and connections. It is the primary, unifying force from which all other realms and multiverses emanate.
A Realm refers to a unique and bounded universe within a Multiverse. Each Realm manifests in one of two main forms:
Realms are bound to a Greater Yggtree that acts as their metaphysical anchor within their respective multiverses. For instance, Midgard is a Space Type Realm within the Mortal Multiverse, tethered to the Mortal Multiversal Yggtree. If a Realm is severed from its parent Yggtree but retains a connection to Yggdrasil, it remains part of the Hyperverse, albeit accessible only through non-traditional means.
Travel between Realms within a multiverse occurs via the Bifröst, a unique form of energy surpassing even the light of Alfheim (Alfheimic Light). Bifröst energy is generated from Chromakopia Crystals, naturally occurring mineral deposits that, when charged with Alfheimic Light, produce faster-than-light energy. This energy stabilizes Einstein-Rosen bridges (wormholes), facilitating safe inter-realm travel without risking cosmic anomalies. Bifröst Bridges—vast, powerful structures—channel this energy to establish secure routes, circumventing black holes and white holes. There are three types of Realms in navigational terms:
A Multiverse is a collective of unique Universes governed by a continuous set of cosmological laws (e.g., the Holy Multiverse, bound by "Holy" properties). Within the hierarchy of existence:
A Metaverse is a collection of these three Multiverse types, unified by overarching similarities in laws or attributes. A Metaverse serves as a structural unit within a Xenoverse.
A Xenoverse is an expansive assembly of Metaverses, originating from a single, most Truthful Metaverse. In this context, Truthfulness measures a structure's ontological "reality" with fewer original entities being more Truthful. The hierarchy within a Xenoverse is as follows:
If an Ordinal or Subordinal Metaverse gains more Truthfulness than its Prime, a phenomenon known as a Runaway Metaverse of Truthfulness occurs, threatening to demote the Prime Metaverse to an Ordinal status. Archons, stewards of reality, vigilantly monitor such cases, removing rogue Metaverses when needed to maintain Truthful balance. The destruction of a Prime Metaverse is a grave act, risking the total collapse of its Xenoverse, an offense punishable by the Hyperversal Court.
Beyond the Hyperverse lies the Emerald Maze, an endless labyrinth devoid of Magic. Within its bounds, technology regresses, and consciousness wanes. Fairy Queen Lurline presides here from her Imperial Throne, enforcing strict order. Random gateways to the Emerald Maze occasionally appear within the Hyperverse, posing a dreaded risk to Magicians and cosmic travelers alike.
Ginnungagap, or the Lands Between, is the turbulent realm bridging the Hyperverse and the Outer Realms. Governed by the Ymirian Dynasty and founded by Ymir, 1st Born of Yawning Void, Ginnungagap is the birthplace of the Jötunnar. Here, Ymir wielded the original Seven Seals before their demise at the hands of the Rune Kings, who used Ymir’s blood to nourish Yggdrasil, sparking the Hyperverse’s creation.
The Outer Realms contain remnants of the Crucible, a chaotic dimension where anything cast out begins to dissolve. Here, Yig and his Khaos Daemons prey upon all, appeasing the Formless Mother. Separating the Outer Realms from the Lands Between is the Somato-Cataphract—a protective barrier formed from the immortal bones of the Great Ymir. This boundary holds back Yig and his daemons, with dead Ymirian monarchs and heroes incorporated into the Cataphract, reinforcing it as eternal guardians of the Hyperverse.
Truthfulness in the Seven Seals cosmology is a core ontological measure of a structure’s existential stability, resilience, and primacy within the Hyperverse. It defines the degree to which a reality—such as a Metaverse or Xenoverse—reflects its foundational integrity and how resistant it is to disruption. A structure’s Truthfulness is inversely proportional to the number of copies or derivatives it generates; the fewer deviations, the more Truthful the original structure remains.
Truthfulness is pivotal in maintaining the hierarchical stability of Yggdrasil’s multiversal framework. It underpins the relationships between Prime, Ordinal, and Subordinal Metaverses within a Xenoverse, as well as the broader balance of cosmic power.
A structure’s Truthfulness reflects its proximity to its original, undiluted state. Prime Metaverses, as the originating constructs within a Xenoverse, possess the highest Truthfulness. Derivative structures, such as Ordinal and Subordinal Metaverses, lose Truthfulness incrementally due to deviations introduced during their formation.
Truthfulness is quantitatively tied to the number of iterations or copies of a given Metaverse. The formula for a Metaverse’s Truthfulness, T, can be expressed as T = 1 over C + 1, where C is the number of derivative instances (copies, branches, or iterations), as C→ ∞, T→ 0.
Structures with high Truthfulness (e.g., Prime Metaverses) exert a stabilizing influence on their derivatives, effectively grounding the Xenoverse’s hierarchical network. Structures with low Truthfulness (e.g., Subordinal Metaverses) are unstable, often eroding naturally over time due to ontological entropy. These structures are less resistant to external manipulation or erasure.
If a derivative Metaverse (Ordinal or Subordinal) accumulates more Truthfulness than its Prime counterpart—often due to diversification, recursive self-organization, or external reinforcement—it risks becoming a Runaway Metaverse of Truthfulness. Runaway Metaverses disrupt the established hierarchy by demoting the Prime Metaverse to an Ordinal role. This introduces instability into the Xenoverse and may trigger interventions by cosmic stewards.
Due to its deeper integration into the ontological fabric of the Hyperverse, the destruction of a high-truthfulness structure requires exponentially greater energy than that of a low-truthfulness structure. Subordinal Metaverses, with their low Truthfulness, often collapse or dissipate on their own without external interference.
Archons, custodians of cosmic order, monitor the Truthfulness of all structures within the Hyperverse. Their primary function is to prevent hierarchical disruptions caused by Runaway Metaverses. When a Runaway Metaverse threatens the stability of its Xenoverse, Archons may excise it and establish it as the Prime Metaverse of a new Xenoverse, preserving the original hierarchy.
The deliberate destruction of a Prime Metaverse is a catastrophic breach of cosmic law, destabilizing the Xenoverse and eradicating all derivative Metaverses. Such acts are considered grand offenses within the Court of God, as they undermine the structural integrity of Yggdrasil itself.
If a Xenoverse loses its Prime Metaverse, the entire structure collapses into ontological oblivion. The cascade failure results in the erasure of all derivative Metaverses, posing a significant threat to the Hyperverse’s stability.
