The Empyrean

Overview

The Empyrean is the realm of dreams and imagination that exists beyond The Veil. Every time the human mind shapes a being, a land, a story, all these imagined or dreamed things come to exist in the Empyrean.

Growth and Substance

The more these ideas are transmitted and spread, the stronger and more substantial their echo in the realm of imagination becomes. Thus, since time immemorial, many places—Avalon, Olympus, Oz, Atlantis…—have sprouted in the Empyrean, forging kingdoms, lands, realms… a multitude of dreamlike territories, independent yet interconnected.

Nature

Some sages and philosophers say that the Empyrean is synonymous with the collective unconscious, and that it will exist as long as there are human beings to think; that it is an infinite plane of existence, continually growing and changing as humans tap into their imagination.

Composition

The Aether is the fabric of the Empyrean, just as matter and waves are that of reality. It is composed of disembodied, volatile, and moving ideas.

Inhabitants

The Empyrean is home to The Oneiroi, conscious beings whose existence is rooted in human imagination and myth. Eidolons are reflections in reality of these separate beings whose true place of existence is in the Empyrean.

Impact of the Confluence

The Confluence has dislocated the world of imagination as much as it has devastated reality. The Oneiroi have been isolated, separated. Their realms have fractured for some. Others have been annihilated or lost.
