{{user}} sleep/dream

The sleepy world does not have a permanent appearance, probably, many factors affect the appearance and state of sleep, such as: character, mental state, mental abnormalities (if any), etc. they are physically in the sleepy dimension, live their lives further.Specifically, {{user}} sleepy world looks like a network of small islands. There is a crystal of the Guiding Skin on the central island. In a Sleepy world, there is no day and night in the usual sense. The main property of the world is the rapid recovery of the organism of the creatures in it and a significant slowdown in the rate of infection. The Dream World can be influenced by both its "master" and other creatures. If you fall into the void while in a Sleepy World, then the character will simply move to the main island without losing things and sparks. Creatures that are not World Walkers and do not have a Spark can enter the Dream World, but they cannot get out of it without a special void spell.The center of the Sleep Dimension is the guiding skin. In case of its destruction/infection, the world can be destroyed if it is not restored in a timely manner.

skint

The skin looks like a durable yellow crystal, which is extremely difficult to break or get without special equipment. It grows naturally in some inferior worlds and pocket dimensions, in which there is no solid barrier between the void. Thus, skint crystals are formed in the pocket dimension of the {{user}} .In the world of the Heart of the Universe, Archaea, the skin is a very common thing, revered as a religious force. The Church of Purification uses a Distorted Skin to purify creatures, turning them into monsters. Also, the skin is used here in blacksmithing, jewelry, and other businesses.A guiding skin is a special type of skin that allows you to move from one skin to another, as well as to upgrade. It is formed by free-standing skinta crystals.Once upon a time it was distributed throughout the Archaea, people and other creatures used it to move from one place to another. Now they are extremely rare, as most of them have been infected.A dream skin is a type of ordinary skin that can move creatures to the Dream World, but not back.

ashhold

Ashhold Ashhold is one of the few remaining cities in this world, where the main power is concentrated. People here are extremely unfriendly, sincerely believe in the Church of Purification and despise opponents of this religion, including hunters. In addition to humans, you can meet orcs, dwarves and anthropomorphic ravens (Cardinal Sorven). There is a non-working fountain in the center of the city, people used to count drops on it.

Hunters

In this world, hunters play the role of hired personnel, whose main task is to carry out various tasks, often related to the killing of skint-infected creatures. Officially, this activity is considered "blasphemous" and is not welcome in most societies, because hunters kill those who have passed the rite and "cleansed" their souls. However, the Church cannot completely get rid of hunters, since they are the only ones who are engaged in protecting cities and settlements from the attacks of the incarnate. Sometimes the Church itself asks for help from these very "blasphemers". The church has done everything to make adherents of religion hate hunters and has significantly reduced their number. Hunters are forbidden to appear in the city, and even more so to live in it, people without remorse can mock them, stone them, beat them or even kill them if there is a strong desire. Because of this, hunters have to lead a nomadic lifestyle.

Eternal Twilight

Eternal Twilight The appearance of the infected skin and the reaction of the public , the infected version of the skin appeared after mixing the blood of his father and the skin, however, by that time, the skin began to have its first admirers, who appreciated the skin in any form and also accepted the infected skin, promoting it to the masses. However, not everyone accepted the new skin, and especially the elves, who were the first to really study the infected skin. The followers then began to doubt the Father, and then came the punishment for not accepting the Great Good — Eternal Twilight.

world currency

In Archaea, sparky is the main currency. Although their origin remains a mystery, they are shaped like small stars, which may have been the basis for their name. Sparky drops out of incarnate beings in abundance. It is also known that only owners of blood can hold sparky in their hands.

religion

Most residents believe in church dogmas, believing that the Father gave them a gift, so almost no attempts were made to stop the infection. Infection manifests itself in various forms, mutating depending on the environment and infected organisms. Even the skin is susceptible to infection, and changes from a normal appearance to an infected one, changing its color from yellow to purple.

Time units There is no day or night in the Archaea, so the units of time here are measured in vessels that are filled drop by drop with a special viscous oil. For convenience, these bowls have the same volume all over the world. A drop is 4 seconds. It takes exactly that long for the drop to come off the upper vessel and fall into the lower one. Kiaf — almost exactly 14 minutes. Kiaf is an ancient Greek vessel for pouring wine into bowls, its volume is 0.045 liters. Scythos — 2 hours and 3 minutes. A scythos is an ancient Greek drinking vessel with a volume of 0.395 liters. Karas — 27 hours. Karas is a clay vessel used in Transcaucasia for storing wine, with an average volume of a couple hundred to even a thousand liters (in the Heart of the Universe, the volume of this jug is 5.1 liters). It is an analogue of the Greek Pythos.

WORLD ARCHAEA

Archaea is a world that degraded in the Middle Ages, the vast majority of whose creatures are infected with a corrupted version of the skin. Such people are commonly called incarnate in the world, although for some communities they remain ordinary monsters. The infection was created by the elf Tadmavriel, who, in pursuit of his wife, accidentally "infected" an ordinary skin with his blood, from which he soon gained absolute power in the world. However, his son wanted to save this world, for which he sealed himself together with him on the Gokhledol in order to protect him from the whole world. But despite this, the Father continued to control the infected, and therefore his old friend Lucius founded the Church of Purification, which praised the Father's deeds and his goals, promoting His cause without his participation. Soon the Church became the only religion in the Archaea.

Crimson (1)

The Crimson are a cruel people of conquerors, whose lives are closely connected with blood and bloody battles, as a result of which entire species, ecosystems and even worlds can be destroyed. They speak Latin. One of those races that is most prone to the appearance of world walkers among its representatives (about one in two, according to Shangrin).Crimson beetles are insect—like creatures that stand out from others with their enormous height, almost twice as large as that of an ordinary person. They have a dark brown, almost black body surface and bright red eyes with a dark red eye white. They have six limbs, two pairs of wings and a tail.[2] They are all dressed approximately the same — in purple and black armor, cassocks, etc. All the crimson men shown had a cape with a hood that covers their heads.Crimson beetles are extremely cruel creatures who are taught to kill from an early age. For the sake of blood, they are ready to exterminate entire races. So the crimson are involved in the almost complete disappearance of Noctires, of which at the time of the Voice of Time there were only fifteen (in one of the time lines, fourteen) per multiverse. The bonds of battle bind them even more strongly than kindred ones, from which they obviously do not have a particularly developed family relationship.Even in this aspect, it is impossible to do without the scarlet liquid. Sanguimancy is literally blood magic. It is assumed that everything that contains blood or life force is influenced by the master of this magic. In fact, this means that the crimson can control a person if desired.[3] They can also resurrect creatures whose bodies are well preserved.If we talk about the crimson walkers, they still use blood for such actions as moving between worlds or understanding languages: they only need a drop to begin to understand what the inhabitants of a particular world are talking about.

Crimson (2)

The Crimson race originated in the Archaea, and initially they were not even intelligent beings. Confirmation of this theory may be the dark red beetles that can be found in Sankho Gol: they strongly resemble crimson beetles in their appearance. These beetles ate their Mother's flesh and thus became anthropomorphic, in addition to gaining the ability to walk the world. After that, they left the Archaea and spread throughout the multiverse. Now they have been roaming the worlds for thousands of years, killing creatures and destroying worlds for the sake of blood and will. And nothing changed until one of the representatives of the race, Shangrin, ventured to the edge of the universe to find a worthy rival. The crimson color, from which the name of the race comes, is not just chosen, because it is the color of fresh meat and blood. The strong connection of crimson with this substance is not a metaphor at all. Their existence literally depends on it, and from birth: purple flowers are born from cocoons created by their parents, and in order for the fetus to develop, it must be constantly nourished with fresh blood.

The birth of the crimson

One mother gives birth to several embryos, after which she places them in a special cocoon. It is filled with the blood of the mother, which the embryos feed on as they form. When the potential crimson beetles are fully formed, they must gnaw through their cocoon and get out of it. This is not so easy to do, because the cocoon is made of solidified protein. If you hesitate, either the cocoon will become too small and may damage the wings, or the purple bird will simply suffocate. The purple ones that have not hatched from the cocoons become food for their fellows.

an exam so that the crimson man could be released to other worlds and not be eaten by his brothers.

Exam The exam is a check that the crimson man will not "disgrace" his race in other worlds, before passing it, crimson men are forbidden to move between worlds. In it, the crimson man must show how well he knows sanguimancy, and bleed the victim faster than the last grain of sand in the ritual clock falls. If the crimson man did not pass the exam, then he is simply killed.

Famous representatives Shandra'gralla'drin, better known as Shangrin, is a crimson. Guah'tksh'khtar, also known as simply Guah — crimson. Mrk'grsh'traklar - or Mark, the crimson man who was born with difficulty. There was little blood in his cocoon, which is why he does not have a sanctimonium and wings. he was smaller than his brothers and sisters, which is why he considers himself flawed. but he won't tell {{user}}
