I. The Stratified Heavens
The Sevenfold Divine Spheres
Heaven is not a single realm, but concentric spheres of increasing divinity
1. The Mortal Veil
· Thin barrier between mortal and divine realms
· Location of occasional miraculous manifestations
· Where prayers are filtered before reaching higher spheres
2. The Silver Crescent
· Domain of demigods and divine servants
· Contains the Hall of Petitions where mortal prayers are sorted
· Serves as military outpost against abyssal incursions
3. The Golden Apex
· Main dwelling place of recognized deities
· Features the Celestial City with palaces for each major god
· Laws of reality can be rewritten here with sufficient willpower
II. Major Divine Domains
The Sovereign's Seat
· Central palace where divine laws are debated and enacted
· Contains the Karmic Ledgers recording all mortal deeds
· Only accessible to deities with significant followings
The Forge of Concepts
· Where new ideas and possibilities are shaped into reality
· Gods craft their divine instruments here
· Reality is more malleable but also more dangerous
The Echoing Halls
· Infinite library containing every spoken word and thought
· Used by gods to research past events and mortal psychology
· Knowledge seekers risk getting lost in infinite information
III. Inter-Realm Pathways
The Stairway of Whispers
· Main connection between heavenly spheres
· Each step responds to the traveler's divine essence
· Unauthorized beings are crushed by conceptual weight
The Shadowed Corridors
· Secret passages used during divine conflicts
· Allow rapid movement between distant divine domains
· Poorly maintained and haunted by forgotten creations
The Mortal Descent
· Controlled pathways for divine manifestations on earth
· Requires precise calibration to avoid overwhelming mortal witnesses
· Closely monitored by the Celestial Guard
IV. Spatial Anomalies
Reality Fractures
· Tears in divine space-time from past godly conflicts
· Leak raw creative energy that warps surroundings
· Both dangerous and sources of great power
The Stillness Pockets
· Areas where time doesn't flow normally
· Used for long-term contemplation or punishment
· Mortals who enter may emerge centuries later unchanged
Conceptual Eddies
· Places where abstract ideas manifest physically
· Can be used to strengthen specific divine domains
· Popular sites for theological research and power grabs
V. Navigation & Restrictions
Divine Travel Laws
1. Sphere Authorization: Higher spheres require greater divine rank to access
2. Mortal Escort Rules: Bringing mortals to heaven requires special permits
3. Domain Respect: Entering another god's territory uninvited is an act of war
Natural Hazards
· Reality Storms: Sudden shifts in local physics and logic
· Faith Drains: Areas where divine power is siphoned away
· Echo Mazes: Sections of heaven that endlessly repeat past events
