'''Mystifea''' is a universe of divine design, shaped by a distant Creator and populated with [[Human (Mystifea)|mortals]], [[Angel (Mystifea)|angels]], and eldritch entities. Its vast landscapes and layered dimensions harbor ancient conflicts and mysteries, where mortals strive for meaning, and divine servants battle relentless cosmic threats.

[[The Void (Mystifea)|The Void]] is a chaotic dimension where Mystifea’s natural laws cease to apply. Often overlapping with Mundane, it spawns beings and phenomena that defy comprehension.

=== Soulless Ones ===
[[Soulless One|Soulless Ones]] are beings or more their vessels that have been animated by magic or individuals that have lost all identity to the [[Void (Mystifea)|Void]]. They are sometimes called [[Undead]] though the term is not always accurate of each [[Soulless One]].
=== Unnamable Things - Greater ===
=== Unnamable Things - Lesser ===
[[Lesser Unnamable Things]] fled to the ocean when [[Beldor]] and his [[Celestial (Mystifea)|Celestials]], were combatting the [[Unnamable Things|Greater Unnamable Things]]. After the [[Unnamable Things|Greater Unnamable Things]] were sealed away the [[Lesser Unnamable Things]] stay within the [[Deep of the Ocean]]. The fear of the [[Celestial (Mystifea)|Celestials]] and [[Angel (Mystifea)|Angel]] kept them in the [[Deep of the Ocean]]. Only recently have they grown brave enough to venture onto land.

== Magic Systems ==
=== Deep ===
[[Deep Magic (Mystifea)|Deep]] Magic's source is the [[Unnamable Things]]. They give power to those who wish for greater dominion over [[Mundane]] and the [[Void (Mystifea)|Void]]. Only those brave enough to venture to the [[Roots of Mundane]] are able to gain such power. Those found unworthy are consumed by the [[Darkness (Mystifea)|Darkness]] and the [[Roots of Mundane]]. The [[Deep Elf (Mystifea)|Deep Elves]] often kill those who venture to deep as they are tasked with Guarding and Containing the [[Unnamable Things]].
=== Primal ===
[[Primal Magic (Mystifea)|Primal Magic]] is the only other magic system in Mystifea that is allowed by [[the Secular Order]]; even though [[Primal Magic (Mystifea)|Primal Magic]] is used to make [[Werebeast (Mystifea)|Werebeasts]]. [[Primal Magic (Mystifea)|Primal Magic]] uses the natural laylines that occur throughout Mundane. This does make [[Primal Magic (Mystifea)|Primal Magic]] vulnerable to corruption, however.
=== Celestial ===
[[Celestial Magic (Mystifea)|Celestial Magic]] is almost exclusively used by members of the [[The Secular Order|Secular Order]], [[Angel (Mystifea)|Angels]], and [[Celestial (Mystifea)|Celestials]]. It only works during the daytime when [[Heaven (Mystifea)|Heaven]] is visible. Overcast weather greatly hinders its potency and accuracy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
=== Void ===
[[Void Magic (Mystifea)|Void Magic]] is the most powerful form of magic within Mystifea, however, it is also the most difficult and volatile. Using one spell can drive, weaker minds, to [[Madness]]. [[Void Elf (Mystifea)|Void Elves]] are the most common practitioners of [[Void Magic (Mystifea)|Void Magic]] as they live in close proximity to [[Void Bleed (Mystifea)|Void Bleeds]] and have found ways to stave off or complete resist [[Madness]].
