The Encyclopedia

[This ancient enchanted Horadric artifact has been entrusted to the Champions. It has the ability to give all known information about any given item, event, place, etc. Simply write the name at the top of the page and the information shall be written before your very eyes. Much of its power has been lost over the years and all of the articles within it have faded. As you encounter new things be sure to add them and refill the Encyclopedia of the Mortal Realm]

I will post all needed information about different topic. No one should post in this topic, instead I will provide links to the different articles on the actual RP. Anything starred with a "*" means it is common knowledge to the Enlightened. Anything starred with "**" means it is common knowledge to the Commons and the Enlightened. Anything starred with "***" means it is user generated content. Someone made the entry for the RP. Lastly anything mentioned in an article that has its own article (or will soon) will be marked with "^". I'll try to provide links as underlined words later Certain events with in the RP will trigger new information. The rest will be randomly filled in over time or given beforehand.

Because the Encyclopedia have lost its power it can only consist of "Known" information and therefor previously added articles may be updated, these will be starred with "*!*" until another wave of articles are updated.

Commons:

Also known as Commoners or unenlightened. The Commons refer to the non-magic people of the Mortal Realm.^ They cannot use magic and most have no idea that it exists.

-Slang versions include:
Lows
Common
Commoners
unenlightened
nomags

[The slang term for a common who knows about the enlightened^ but still has no magic is often referred to as low(lows, lower). It is often derogatory.

Mortal Realm

The Mortal Realm is one of the 5 known Realms^

This Realm consists of the Earth and the entire known universe. It is called the Mortal Realm because this is where man "king of mortals" lives. Death here brings you to the Ethereal Realm.^

It is possible for beings from all Realms to exist on the Mortal Realm.
There are 2 known exits from the Mortal Realm and only 1 serves as an entrance.
The first is death which brings your soul to the Ethereal Realm. The second is the Demonic Gate to Hell, the Inferno Realm^

How, none know, but there is also an entrance into the Mortal Realm from the Heavens, the Divine Realm^. Some also speculate the existence of temporary portals from this Realm to others.

Enlightened

The enlightened is the population of the world who still know of the magic in the world. Most wield it in some form although there are some who use no magic but are embedded in the enlightened world of magic, demons and monsters. They are often called lowers behind their backs.

Ethereal Realm

One of the 5 known Realms

The Ethereal Realm is the Realm^ of death. It is where souls go after death in the Mortal Realm^. The idea of Hell, a place with out God, as well as Heaven, a place of eternal happiness are said to existence in the After Realm.

None can travel to the Ethereal Realm save through Death. None travel and return except through the works of the master white mages^ who use powerful spells such as Raise and Revive. Even so the recently deceased remember nothing upon returning to the Mortal Realm.

Little is actually known about this Realm.

Some items with magical properties known as Ethereal items^ exist. These are said to be from this realm.

Ghosts are said to be monsters who have escaped the Ethereal Realm.

Divine Realm

One of the 5 known realms

The Divine Realm is the Heavens. It is here that God, or gods depending on one's religion, is said to exist. In fact their are ancient writings of an Archangel who descended upon the Mortal Realm from the Divine Realm.

We know the heavenly forces exist here but that is all. There is no way to travel there.

The Astral Realm

One of the 5 known Realms, it is often called the Astral Plain. It was the first Realm discovered by Mortals. Mortals were once able to walk on the Astral Plain. However that ability is long forgotten. Now its only use is that of Legends.

Recent theories suggest that the use of advanced spells such as teleportation does not warp one but instead transfer one to the Astral Plain where they travel the same distance in shorter time before returning to the Mortal Realm.

Some Horadric myths suggest that there may be an ancient sanctuary on the Astral Plain.

The Inferno Realm

One of the 5 known Realms

The Inferno Realm is by definition, Hell.

Often called Hell or the Inferno this Realm is where all evil monsters and demons originated. Powerful magic users or demons can create small portals from here to the Mortal Realm for brief seconds but the primary mode of transport is through the Demonic Gate^ in the far east.

It is said that the Three^ were from this Realm.
