Kabbalah: The Tree of Stories

-In the primordial void known as The Empty Canvas, there existed a cosmos that was without form or color. Creation began when Nevermoon's divine essence burst through the darkness into this void, infusing that void with its all-inclusive brilliance to herald the beginning of being. The infinite, shapeless entity of pure, divine potential burst forth through the darkness, infusing that void with an all-inclusive brilliance that would proclaim the beginning of being. This shining, creative power took form as it surged and transformed through the emptiness with infinite possibilities. Guided by the divine energy of Nevermoon, the Editors started to channel the cosmic energies of creation and delved gingerly into shaping the formless void into the Tree of Stories, Kabbalah. This huge tree was to be the chief structural unit of the narrative, its innumerable branches and leaves formed the several primary webs that constitute the material of being. Every branch of Kabbalah depicts different regions and dimensions, integrated at every point by the Editors into the structures of reality. This whole sprawling tree crowns at the very top junction of the realms, called Kether, or the Crown of Creation. Kether stands as the acme of divine emanation, which refers to the lofty realm wherein resides the ultimate will and consciousness of the divine. This is the medium between the infinite essence of Nevermoon and the differentiated stories that unravel within Kabbalah. Kether, or the highest instance of spiritual and creative potential, serves to link the boundless, unmanifested light of Nevermoon with the carefully interwoven layers of reality as it brings into being the divine connection between the pure, formless essence and the complex, unfolding stories within the cosmic tree.

THE KETHER

Kether, or the Crown of creation, stands as the acme of divine emanation, which refers to the lofty realm wherein resides the ultimate will and consciousness of the divine. This is the medium between the infinite essence of Nevermoon and the differentiated stories that unravel within Kabbalah. Kether, or the highest instance of spiritual and creative potential, serves to link the boundless, unmanifested light of Nevermoon with the carefully interwoven layers of reality as it brings into being the divine connection between the pure, formless essence and the complex, unfolding stories within the cosmic tree. In this scheme of things, Kether and Nevermoon are inextricably intertwined, with Kether being the full realization of that infinite potential that started with Nevermoon and thus hauled the divine essence within the vicinity of the elaborate tapestry of existence designed by the Editors. The Editors, as cosmic weavers, operate within and beneath Kether, utilizing its divine energy to weave the intricate narratives (Primary Webs) in Kabbalah. Thus, Kether serves as both the source of the highest spiritual potential and the crucial link through which the infinite Imagination of Nevermoon shapes the creative process orchestrated by the Editors.

ENGINE ROOM

The Engine Room is one of the metaphysical realms attached to Kabbalah, a never-ending maze that looks like a huge gear room where you can see the inner workings of reality. Big gears turn with perfect timing, each one standing for laws, ideas, and the basic rules that control everything below—from collective webs to whole groups of primary webs. The hallways go on forever, with streams of pure information running along them where data gets processed and stored like a giant living database. The Cogwrights, machine-like beings, watch over this machinery. They have the job to keep the system running and to fix any odd things that happen. In the middle is the Central Gear, the Source Code, which has the original script that defines existence itself. Here, all of reality is run like programs in a cosmic computer where even the smallest change can spread through endless layers of the story shaping or breaking whole realities.

THE WEB SYSTEM

The web system is a metaphysical realm inhabited by Editors and the third realm in the hierarchy, entities responsible for shaping and safeguarding the foundational narratives within Kabbalah, the world tree that symbolizes interconnected stories. Here, Editors refine raw information from the Engine Room, transforming it into cohesive and compelling narratives that are then integrated into Kabbalah as canon. They also protect the Primary Webs, ensuring the integrity of the narrative structure by monitoring and addressing anomalies or threats. Information flows cyclically between these layers: it descends from the Upper Narrative to be polished by the Editors and then woven into Kabbalah, influencing the stories within the Primary Webs. As these narratives evolve, they generate new information that ascends back to the Upper Narrative, perpetuating the cycle and enriching the meta-narrative continuum.

THE TERRARIUM

-The Terrarium, an ancient and vibrant metaphysical realm, drifts like a celestial bubble around Kabbalah, embodying the essence of Gaia, the Earth Mother from Greek and Roman mythology. As one of the first planes to manifest during creation, the Terrarium is a vital domain of life and rebirth, where all the good stories are born and written, serving as the prime locus for the literal "good plot." It is here that the light and imagination infused by Nevermoon are transformed into tangible reality after being meticulously weaved by the Editors and stored in the Engine Room. The Terrarium not only nurtures and integrates these narratives into the living world of Kabbalah but also acts as a conduit for the continuous cycle of creation and renewal, ensuring that positive and compelling stories flourish within its lush, ever-changing landscapes. Due to its nature and role in creation, the terrarium and the creations of Gaia are constantly predated by Nyx and the penumbra, the wicked goddess of night and darkness and the prime point of all negative stories, both the terrarium and the penumbra works as a yin yang, being opposites in their roles but playing major roles in creation

THE PENUMBRA

-The Umbra or Penumbra originated through the influence of an entity named Nyx to influence and drive darkness within the stories of Kabbalah. The Umbra is often described as a land full of dread, negativity, corruption, and bad things constantly spawning from it and being inserted within the stories of the tree, being a realm responsible for predating all stories. The Umbra is also described as the land where negative plots are born and are sent to all narratives in the tree, despite the efforts of editors to constantly purge the darkness coming from the umbra, it can never go away. The Penumbra is not only a land full of dread and corruption but the prime point for all negative and evil plots, constantly darkening narratives and predating the terrarium and Gaia itself, working as a Ying Yang to Gaia and her realm of life and eternal rebirth

THE DREAMLANDS

-The Dreamlands is a metaphysical plane of existence that exists as an extension of Kabbalah, the land of Dreams sees all the stories of Kabbalah as dreams and is the second realm in the hierarchy of dimensions across Kabbalah. In this realm all dreams are born and created, is also the realm described by Plato as the "world of ideas", and the place where imagination unfolds infinitely. Here, pure imagination is the weft of reality, as concepts and tales take shape in limitless, fluid landscapes devoid of constraint by the waking world. The Dreamlands is like a large canvas of ever-increasing dimensions, on which ideas are born, evolve, and transform potential for creativity and novelty is endless. This place is not only the source of dreams but also a deep reflection of how human fantasies are unbounded, where everything that is ever imaginable flows in constant transformation and formation.

THE LOW LIMBO

-The Low Limbo is a little-known, metaphysical realm beneath the disparate branches of Kabbalah, wherein those stories that have become either meaningless or without function have found their repository. This world exists in some sort of dark, insubstantial limbo where broken remnants of abandoned stories float along in mists of fragmented memories and broken plot threads. Here, in a surreal tapestry of half-begun ideas and dying echoes, even the land itself is in constant shift and unraveling. Among the inhabitants of the Low Limbo are the Forgotten, ghostly outlines of characters who had once held great importance but now meander pointlessly through dissolving roles, while there are the Archivists-mysterious creatures who engross themselves in the cataloging and maintenance of dying stories, holding on to their essence as best they can. The Archivists make sure that these remains do not dissolve away and sometimes integrate fragments back into the canon should they pick up again in relevance or popularity. The Veil of Oblivion separates Low Limbo from the throbbing, flesh-and-blood world of Kabbalah. The Low Limbo is the very embodiment of the cyclic nature of the narrative, whereby the latter oscillates between states of rise and fall, relevance and irrelevance. Indeed, those stories that once reached the pinnacle of their power and influence might disappear into total obscurity but still be part of the greater cosmic balance. That is the realm where, as some parts of these narratives can be discarded, remnants of these could still affect the living world in their ability to revive and reinterpret one thing or another. Low Limbo is, therefore, a trash bin of innumerable forgotten stories
