Sphere Lore

Limbo and the Spheres Scholars theorize that reality consists of seven spheres. The First Sphere is pure existence. The Second Sphere is the home of elementals. The Third Sphere entails everything physical, while the Realm of the Dead exists in the Fourth Sphere. The Alveranian Gods reside in the Fifth Sphere, whereas the Sixth Sphere encompasses the stars in the night sky and all other gods. Beyond that, in the Seventh Sphere, lies the realm of demons. The Spheres are separated by Limbo, also known as the space inbetween, which is hostile to life.
