THE WORLD

A colossal turtle named Villis glides gracefully through a sea of shimmering stars. Villis, with a shell adorned in constellations and swirling nebulae, serves as both land and sanctuary for its inhabitants. They have built sprawling cities upon Villis's shell, where vibrant bioluminescent plants grow and communities thrive. The world is bathed in the warm light of three suns—Solara, Lunara, and Vespera—each casting a unique hue across the landscape. Solara shines bright and golden, nurturing the vibrant flora; Lunara emits a soothing silver light, creating tranquil nights; while Vespera, the smallest sun, casts a gentle bluish glow, inspiring creativity and dreams.   Villis, while ancient and wise, is also a living entity, capable of emotions. He is aware of everything happening on his shell.   The world is a giant turtle swimming in a sea of stars, with three suns resembling jellyfish, creating an almost perpetual day. Every 1,000 days (or two years), there is one night. The water level is determined by Villis's swimming position in the stars; when he dives deeper, it pushes the ozone layer up, causing the water level to rise with him.   The sea of stars is an actual sea filled with celestial creatures swimming around beneath the surface.   There is a central stone on this world that tells everyone what day it is, as time works differently depending on the world’s travel speed. This stone indicates the day, year, and time, keeping track of things since other documents are not always correct.   One day, when the stone cracked, it hurt the world since it is part of Villis's shell. This caused him to sink deeper into the sea of stars, leading to a massive flood that changed everything. It also pushed all the suns away, leaving only the moon, leading to an event we now call the Night of the Blue Moon.   Because Villis's shell was cracked, the magic within it—the stardust—found a way to reach the surface, which is dangerous for living beings. Coming into contact with it slowly makes one sick, causing a crystalline transformation from the inside out. This crystallization turns bones into stars, immobilizing the affected individual and resulting in a painful death unless others show mercy.
