Talk:Manaverse
So, basically, to start... we have our list of 'worlds' that are to be considered part of the Manaverse, our collective project on the lore of our communal worlds that function in similar ways. They are all governed (to my knowledge) by some degree of Mana Theory (detailed by Shadow below), and are also subject to the basic laws of the Manaverse (yet to be formalized).
- Armonia
- Causica
- Celaflora
- Crysia
- Daeridune
- Deveron
- Euthora
- Ferona
- Greniou
- Mantua
- Phantasia
- Rokans
- Syelsumoia
- Yulatra

Rokans
So the basic idea is the my main's ancestry (at least, on his father's side) traces back to the planet Rokans, a planet where ongoing conflict progressively has gotten worse. Much of it revolves around the conflict of two beings created during said conflict: Elevix Magnus and Infinic Juptois.
(Will add more once I've gotten thing somewhat organized. Just wanting to get this started. Though for the time being, feel free to ask any questions.)
Mana Theory
I am going to copy/paste the entries I made some time ago regarding Mana Theory, mainly because of its sheer importance to the Manaverse as a whole. Note that this is written in a Phantasian perspective, but is nonetheless completely accurate. And yes, these are part of my seekrut "official" documents.
> Mana Cycle: All Mana in the known universe is absolutely and unconditionally subject to a transdimensional phenomenon known as the Mana Cycle.
>> Ley Energy: Mana itself does not cease to exist when consumed or depleted through any means, but it instead becomes a practically nonexistent, undetectable residuum Mana Theory has officially distinguished as Ley. Ley, most likely by intelligent design, is exempt from laws of time and space, attracted into flowing streams that form complex networks known as Ley Lines. Nothing, even in principle, is capable of interacting with Ley.
>> Cyclical Process: Since Ley Lines are not affected by most prominent concepts of the universe, they are capable of crossing worlds, dimensions and planes until they reach a certain point (theorized to be an isolated reality) where Ley begins to condense into material form. This creates an exotic element known as Manacium, composed entirely of solid Mana in a non-crystalline form, a state that is impossible to replicate without reality restructuring as a medium. These localized Manacium instances will eventually decay into energetic Mana and flow back into the universe to complete the Mana Cycle.

Edge Reapers and Kaichrona
Okay so there's been some talk in the IRC about how Kaichrona is slightly redundant with the Edge Reapers. This mostly came as me actually not realizing what the Edge Reapers actually, you know, DID. So I figured that I should make some changes and such. What I was thinking was that, because the Kaichronans are a civilization whose technology advanced to the point that they exited their own, and even all timelines, that their primary goal is merely to observe. And because of this, smaller scale irregularities are investigated and taken out. Basically, they'd be the private investigators to the Edge Reaper police force, for an analogy. --N̛̘͚̱̪͎̖a̢͖̳t͏͔̬͖̘̻e͏̺̟̲̱̜̜̘ ̼̫̱̫͉̹̩(͏T̷̙͉̼h̠e͍͘ ͚̜̪͔͓͚̻͜K͇̣a͉̞̣k̬͍̝̱̯̻͠ṵ̶z̻͔á͖̝̯̫̭ṭ͕̟͔̰͕ͅo̞̖͙͍̗͜)̸̫̼̹͖͕ (talk) 19:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Shitty explanation because fuck you.
Soul Harvesters are the most numerous out of The Edge hierarchy, but are normally unable to directly interact with any world. Their primary role is the creation, or "harvesting" of new souls, and also the guidance of spirits in the Spirit World. Other than that, they just watch over whatever assigned world/dimension they have.
Edge Reapers are the ones who actually work on maintaining reality, usually by assigned missions or orders. They can be summoned by deities or other beings of importance if an event of sorts would require it (like how Areonie did exactly that to seal up both Deskarta and Malkarrys), but they can also act independently.
Void Legionnaires are at near the top of the pyramid; they are VERY rarely seen or required, but their immense power and reality-altering potential make it so they are easily capable of decommissioning deities if needed. While they normally issue orders to Edge Reapers, they also receive them from a being called Order, who is essentially the closest thing there is to Hollow's proxy in the Manaverse (since Hollow himself is /NEVER/ known to interact with any universe).

The Planet of ????
So a few of us have had characters having been associated with the planet Earth. Of course, since Earth is confirmed not to be in the Manaverse, we must create a planet similiar enough to it that certain stuff will be able to work. But until we actually come up with a page for the planet of whateverthehellwe'regoingtocallit, let's just leave this section open for basic info.
I honestly thought that Earth-not-in-the-Manaverse was going to be handwaved by multiversal travel of some sort, but if you want to make rehashed backgrounds Manaverse-friendly, I suppose this is a good parallel to start with. As I mentioned in the chat, there is a blank world that is very akin to Earth (i.e. fantasy elements such as magic being undiscovered and practically nonexistent in society, despite being in the Manaverse) that I created solely to work with Friae's backstory. If any of you want to take the concept for this end, you're free to do so. --Shadow (talk) 00:48, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
