I. ELYSIUM – THE REALM OF ORDER AND LIGHT
Common Name: Elysian (The Elysians)
Nature: Entities born from the breath and the Will of Order of the Creator, Patheos. They are the embodiment of law, light, and harmony.
Hierarchy (Ranked from High to Low):
Demiurge:
- Description: The first and supreme consciousness of Elysium, the embodiment of creation and absolute law. The uncrowned ruler of this realm. The Demiurge rarely interferes directly in events, acting instead through will and subordinates.
- Example: The Demiurge.
Empyrean:
- Description: Born from the purest and most concentrated light, closest to the Demiurge. They are advisors, thinkers, philosophers, and entities holding abstract concepts such as "Fate," "Time," and "Life." Their power is immense, but they rarely engage directly in combat.
- Example: Theotia (before renouncing).
Archon:
- Description: Born from the currents of order and justice. They are the generals, judges, and architects of Elysium. Their power is highly combat-oriented and executive, often seen in blinding silver armor wielding weapons of light. They are the direct executors of the Demiurge's will.
- Example: N/A
Herald:
- Description: Born from the swiftest rays of light. They are messengers, guides, artists, and teachers. They are the Elysians who contact the mortal realm most frequently, bringing knowledge and art to other races.
- Example: N/A
II. TARTARUS – THE REALM OF CHAOS AND DARKNESS
Common Name: Tartarian (The Tartarians)
Nature: Creatures born from the final drop of Patheos's blood, carrying primal pain and chaos. They are the embodiment of instinct, destruction, and eternal hunger.
Hierarchy (Ranked from High to Low):
Monarch Abyssord (AKA Abyssord Lords):
- Description: The pinnacle of power in Tartarus, consisting only of the twelve most powerful and cunning Abyssords. Each Monarch rules one of the twelve main domains of the Abyss. They are entities of superior intellect, possessing powers that can reshape reality and command massive armies.
- Example: Skoeidos (before abandoning his status in Tartarus), Tetsudo.
Abyssord:
- Description: Powerful Tartarians who have evolved significantly, devouring dark energy to elevate themselves to the nobility of the Abyss. Though not Monarchs, they are formidable commanders, possessing intelligence and often majestic forms (wings, horns, scales...). They serve under the Monarchs or rule smaller territories themselves.
- Example: N/A
Fiend:
- Description: The core army of Tartarus, incredibly numerous and diverse in form. They are born from hunger and brutality. Most act on instinct, but older and stronger ones can develop intelligence and the ability to communicate.
- Example: N/A
Homobyss:
- Description: A race similar in appearance to humans but born and adapted to the harsh environment of Tartarus. In essence, they retain human-like emotions and social structures (families, tribes) but are far more violent, bellicose, and ruthless. They are the residents—the commoners of the Abyss—often treated as slaves or low-level fodder by Fiends and Abyssords.
- Example: N/A
III. ANTHROMOS – THE NEUTRAL REALM OF MORTALS
Nature: Born from the ashes and flesh of Patheos, this is a neutral realm where standard physical laws apply. It is the main stage for conflicts.
Major Races:
Human:

- Description: "Traditional" races coexisting with humans in Anthromos, each with unique characteristics, cultures, and skills (e.g., Dwarves are master smiths).
