Shards

Flakes of Infinity

When the source exploded into many pieces, each shard of this divine entity, became an entity in its own right. However much they varied in size they were all a fragment of the source, the original god. These shards became scattered around the void, but their power formed a bubble around them, the bigger the shard, the bigger the bubble, and within this bubble their world would be born. Some of these shards, like their parent, were simply cosmic forces acting more on instinct than a present will, and others became sentient deities actively interacting with and shaping their worlds.

Shard Types

These shards come in all different sizes, from huge to very small, and they can be classified based on their characteristics.
Type 1 Shard
Average Source Percentage: 0.5
These shards are large enough to house their own world, but not big enough to contain full planets, they sometimes contain a dwarf planet or just a region of land.
Type 2 Shard
Average Source Percentage: 1
This is by far the most common type of shard, they can hold between one planet to a single full solar system, or just multiple planets.
Type 3 Shard
Average Source Percentage: 1.5
These are much less common than the previous shards, they are capable of holding more than one solar system, up to large clusters of solar systems.
Type 4 Shard
Average Source Percentage: 2
This is one of the largest shard types and one of the rarest, they are capable of holding entire galaxies within them, big or small.
Type 5 Shard
Average Source Percentage: 2.5 +
These shards are universe-sized. They are the biggest, and also the rarest of all shards. The only known type 5 was Titan, who had a source percentage of 2.8
Divine Principles
The divine principles are also shards. They are the biggest of all, and they are the only shards that don't use that power to create bubbles, or to create their own worlds. The divine principles vary in size, but together, they make up about 33% of the source's power.
Micro Shards
Source Percentage: Less than 0.4
These shards are not big enough to have their own world, so they may wonder the void, they may invade the world of another shard, or they may get together with other micro shards, their combined power now being strong enough to create a whole world, such a thing is called a shard union.
These shards often hide out on larger shards, as they are often not strong enough to repel the voids influences on their own.
Split Shards
Source Percentage: Any
A shard might split off pieces of itself, this is called a spill shard, these shards may become independent entities, but are still inherently linked to their parent Shard.

Known Shards

Yanu
Type 3 Shard
Source Percentage: 1.7
Yanu is a semi-sentient shard of just a single planet, however, he has also created a number of split shards, which he later banished, but due to the nature of split shards, they will forever try to get back into Yanu's world. He used to be more sentient, but now he slumbers, simply maintaining his world. and keeping his former servants at bay.
Zayne
Type 2 Shard
Source Percentage: 1
Zayne is a cosmic force and isn't sentient at all. his world consists of three mayor realms, which are worlds of their own, although intricately connected to each other.

Quantity

There are between one hundred and many thousands of Shards, scholars across the multiverse still haven't agreed on a number, but there are about two dozen prime worlds, which everyone agrees exist.

Shard Sizes

Each shard is a piece of the One, and each shard type has a certain percentage of the ones power. The bubles this power creates is where the shard create things, and the size of those bubbles inceases exponentially as they become larger, which is why type four shards ar the size of galaxies, while type 1 shards, who have a quarter the power, are not even the size of one planet.

Prime Shards

It is hard to tell exactly how many shards there are because they are mostly separated by the void, and while there is no such thing as space in the void, there is distance, in a way.
The prime shards are those most easily connected to each other in some way, they are the worlds that all interworld travelers will know about and have probably visited. They either have a gate to a nexus world or to a world that does.

Nexus Worlds

Nexus worlds are those with not one or two, but many connections to other worlds, most of these connections are artificial, and created by grand entities, if not shards themselves. Most of these connections were created by Void gods, for nefarious purposes, but however they got there, they are there now, and these worlds act as stopover points for multiversal travelers, and they form the core of the prime worlds. It is theorized that there may be multiple of such world clusters, but so far, there is but a single generally accepted one.

Known Nexus

There are three main nexus worlds, and perhaps unsurprisingly, one of them is ruled by the void.
Titan is the biggest nexus world, it has portals to many worlds, although traveling here is extremely dangerous, due to all the titans, and the void god who lives here. However, it is still used by some of the more powerful, and daring, worldhoppers.
Karyndae is the second most connected world, they have a connection to many worlds, and many that don't have a connection to the world of Titan, although it does have a gate to Titan itself. However, Karyndae is a galaxy, and traveling from one terhikai gate to the next is not an easy task.
Jyixl is a microshard, generally referred to as Wayworld, as he has made it his primary purpose. He is the third most connected, and even has gates to distant worlds, that wouldn't even be considered prime worlds at all, such as Myst.
