Alliance of the Six Worlds
Guardians of the Hourglass
Every world is on the constant threat of falling apart. It is only because we keep rebuilding them do they survive and even strive in this cosmic conflict.
The Alliance of the Six Worlds exists to protect the Cosmic Hourglass. Comprised out of members from all corners of the multiverse, they guard it against major threats. From the incursions of Demons and Angels to horrors from beyond the edge of existence.
Throughout their eons of service, their duties remained the same: to ensure the safety of the realms, and avoid the collapse of all that is known.
Organisation & Structure
Main Goal & Duties
The main purpose of the alliance is to defend against threats from outside their realms. From invading forces of the upper and lower planes to threats that come from other places.
This includes everything from Angels and Demons to Elementals and Fae. Anything that disrupts the natural flow of a realm and should be removed as fast as possible.
They deal with such issues through countermeasures and precautions. Setting up posts at major incursion hot spots, raising armies to fight off the dangers of other worlds and providing aid to other realms with interdimensional highways. Tasks that require a lot of organisation.
Structure
All groups in the alliance work as independent units defending their own home turf, being responsible for its safety. In case of a greater invasion, they can call upon the support of other worlds with operators ready at any given moment.
Either leaders of the groups or their representatives do the major duties and meetings. Because of the constant threat of surprise attacks, none of them meet in person.
History
Origins
The alliance’s history dates back as far back as the end of the Tri-Realm War. After the split of the elemental chaos from the Faelands, the newly established pillars became the focus for both Demonic and Angelic incursions. First beginning small with a few trying to invade, but as the Angelic and Infernal realm formed, their numbers grew in size.
Eventually, this led to each of the realms establishing their own troops to deal with incoming threats. First as small organisations, only to become more unified forces across the realm. With communication and technology improving, it became easier over time.
When gateways between realms becoming more available, the elemental planes learned of each other’s troubles. Troops and supplies were traded, providing support to other realms in the progress, creating a web of communication between all of them.
This led to the birth of the original Pillars of the Hourglass, protecting the ends of the four realms. But as both invading sides reached the inner spheres, two more groups joined.
A few centuries into the alliance, members of Fabulae and the Faelands joined too. With the six worlds united under a common goal, the Alliance of the Six Worlds was born.

I love the idea of the elemental planes uniting to protect each other! I'm also very unfamiliar with the lore of your world, but the threat of this Void is a really interesting one!
