'''Sodahan''' is a [[Forged Universe]], crafted by the Divine Parents [[Vareth]] and [[~~Aulirya~~]], known collectively as the ''Forgers of Form''.

'''Sodahan''' is a [[Forged Universe]], crafted by the Divine Parents [[Vareth]] and [[Alyra]], known collectively as the ''Forgers of Form''.

Unlike many Universes that were sung, painted, or dreamt into being, Sodahan was '''hammered into existence''' within the Transplanar Forge using the molten debris left behind from the [[First Convergence]]. It is thus a living construct — a cosmos engineered rather than merely imagined.

== Divine Origin ==

The act that brought Sodahan into being is considered a unique form of [[Divine Fathoming]].

Where other Divine Parents '''conceive''' their universes through inspiration, Vareth and ~~Aulirya~~ '''forged''' theirs through labor.

Where other Divine Parents '''conceive''' their universes through inspiration, Vareth and Alyra '''forged''' theirs through labor.

They gathered the stray filaments of Contradiction left from previous cosmic experiments, heated them in the Transplanar Forge, and shaped them into a coherent, self-stabilizing system.

Their goal was not simply to birth life, but to create a ''teaching universe'' — a living crucible in which mortals could experiment with creation itself without immediate annihilation.

This is why Sodahan is often called ''The Living Forge'' among the Divines. It is young, volatile, and responsive, like molten metal still being hammered into perfection.

* '''Aetheric Sea''' — The oceanic reservoir of raw [[Essence (Sodahan)|Essence]]; source of all magical phenomena.

* '''Deep Forge''' — The sub-material layer where heat, gravity, and divine pressure create new matter and lifeforms (birthplace of the [[Dragorian]]).

* '''Veiled Expanse''' — The decaying edge of the universe where Essence loses coherence, bordering the [[~~Outer Darkness~~]].

* '''Veiled Expanse''' — The decaying edge of the universe where Essence loses coherence, bordering the [[The Black Beyond]].

* '''Transplanar Forge''' — The divine foundry of Vareth and ~~Aulirya~~, existing beyond causality; the universe’s heart and maintenance engine.

Each plane influences the others through resonance, forming a self-regulating metaphysical mechanism. When one plane falters, Essence redistributes to maintain cosmic balance — though this process can cause magical storms or dimensional breaches.

[[Essence (Sodahan)|Essence]] is the '''transdimensional substrate''' of Sodahan, generated by the friction of divine creation. It binds matter, thought, and spirit into one continuum.

In scientific terms, Essence acts as a '''fourth-dimensional energy field''', folding together quantum and metaphysical properties.

In metaphysical terms, it is '''the Breath of ~~Aulirya~~ and the Fire of Vareth''' — the dual nature of thought and will.

Essence in Sodahan is dynamic and alive, adapting to moral, emotional, and creative stimuli. This makes magic both scientific and ethical:

== Divine Law ==

Sodahan operates under the '''Three Laws of the Forge''', inscribed by Vareth and ~~Aulirya~~ upon creation:

Sodahan operates under the '''Three Laws of the Forge''', inscribed by Vareth and Alyra upon creation:

# '''Law of Resonant Will''' – All thought echoes in reality.
