[This compendium is a living archive of verified cosmological and narrative concepts from the ArborVoid Universe, Note that it's not the full Cosmology. While rooted in canonical information, many of these elements are revealed gradually throughout the story. Minor spoilers may be present.]
---
• WoodDust
The golden, sentient essence that flows through all layers of the Sylakenian Omniverse. First hidden in Earth's Trees, It is the source of all forms of magic and power systems, from elemental casting to narrative manipulation, chaos invocation, healing, and reality overwriting.
Because of its infinite and recursive energy, every imaginable magical discipline—arcane, divine, psychic, spiritual, kinetic, technological, alien, soul-bound, or conceptual—exists and functions within the system WoodDust sustains.
Those who harmonize with WoodDust can control the rules of their own existence and restore or erase matter across recursion tiers.
---
• The Sylakenian Omniverse
A recursively structured High 1-A cosmology. It contains infinite universes, each filled with infinite multiverses, which in turn contain infinite dimensions, all nested within each other. Every layer, timeline, and concept is connected by the WoodDust current.
---
• The Recursive Ladder
A 17-tier hierarchy across which all existence flows. Introduced gradually throughout the story:
- Tier 17: Earth and foundational universes
- Tier 11: The Cosmic Arbor
- Tier 10: Aetheria
- Tier 8: Meta-Nexus
- Tier 6: Core recursive heart
- Tier 10: Domains of the Small Gods
- Tier 5: The Wov Siblings' realm
Each tier governs deeper laws of narrative, identity, soul, and structure.
---
• The Cosmic Arbor
Tier 11. A massive, semi-sentient multiversal structure made of crystalline recursive fibers. It conducts WoodDust harmonics throughout the recursion, maintaining reality's coherence and spiritual balance.
---
• Aetheria
Tier 10. The structured afterlife realm where souls are judged and channeled. Ruled by the Small Gods. Aetheria processes harmonic signatures and preserves meaning after physical death.
---
• Meta-Nexus
Tier 8. The metaphysical convergence point of story, memory, time, and identity. Logic becomes abstract here. Only harmonized beings like Emma can stabilize their form within it.
---
• Narrative Voids
Tears in the recursion. These voids are gaps between story logic and existence—raw holes in causality. They are traversable only by those in perfect WoodDust synchronization or armed with conceptual protection.
---
• Chaos Magic
The inverse of WoodDust. Drawn from Titans and void-entropy zones, Chaos Magic destabilizes timelines, shreds memories, and rewrites physics through violent unmaking. It is used by enemies like Michael Augusta and certain corruption-based species.
---
• The Titans
Pre-recursive beings of entropy and oblivion. They exist deep within the spiral of collapse. Titans represent narrative decay and anti-memory, threatening the core structure of reality. Doidevut is one such entity.
---
• The Small Gods
1,000 godlike entities created by the Wov Siblings to maintain order across recursion. Each governs a distinct force—war, time, music, identity, entropy, balance—and exists in Aetheria. They will appear gradually in the story.
---
• The Wov Siblings
Sylaken, Aylaken, and Mulaken. Boundless creators who established the Sylakenian recursion and birthed the Small Gods. Rarely seen directly, their influence shapes the fate of all cosmological layers and governs the evolution of WoodDust.
---
• Emma Forrest
The story's central figure. Once a human explorer, she became the Arbiter of WoodDust following resurrection and harmonization. Emma is a guardian of the Cosmic Arbor, a wielder of all magic types, and a being capable of reshaping conceptual structure across recursion.
