Game-Specific Terminology

game-specific terminology.


In alphabetical order:
● Brethren, The

The Brethren is made up of a group of dissatisfied and ambitious Nexians. They, like most, were born elsewhere and during their cycles of life and death, became aware of the Nexus and its place in the multiverse.

During their life cycles, they have repeatedly chosen to return to the Nexus and started to become jealous of the Temple Elders - the only true immortals. They want the same thing and their plans are what brought your character to the Nexus World by an unexpected side effect.

● Circle River, The

The Circle River literally encircles the world. The world is flat and the edge of the river marks the boundary. Nothing can fall off of the boundary due to the mystical forces swirling with the water in the river. The river shimmers and shifts in colours like the Aurora Borealis and it harbours all kinds of aquatic creatures.

● Joined Temples, The

The Joined Temples are the Temple of Body and the Temple of Spirit. These two intertwining buildings serve as the hub in the world. The Temple guards, keeps and maintains the Web and ensures the recycling of death energy in to new life energy.

The elders, one for each Temple, are the sole true immortals.

● NCD

The Nexian Communication Device is a dual device of a mystical watch and screen. The two in conjunction allow for communication, a clock and a system of currency (credit) calculation. You can find more information on the NCD here.

● Nexians

The Nexians are those who have chosen to live in this world, feeding life energy in to the Nexus Web to sustain and grow all of the known worlds and universes.

● Nexus Web, The

The mystical web that joins each and every world, dimension, plane and universe to the Nexus. Life and Death energy flows back and forth between it and it can throw out new shoots, creating new worlds.

● Nexus World, The

The World where it all began, all life began here and when it attained enough energy that it could no longer contain it, the Nexus Web was born from it, creating ever more life.

This is where your characters live and it is made up of the Joined Temples and the Elemental Lands.

● Temple Elder

One male and one female who oversee and maintain the Temples. They were born with the Nexus World and they will never die unless the world does as well.

● Wellspring, The

This is a mystical upswell of energy from the Circle River and it can occasionally grant wishes via visiting and bathing in it and then touching the Wishstone.

● Wishstone, The

After being bathed in the mystical upswell of the Wellspring, travelling to the Wishstone and requesting your wish can be granted or denied by this stone. The Wishstone is inside the Joined Temples.
