Lethurèa is a self-aware universe created by the divine beings Meera and Merrik Jenlek, known as the Mother and Father. This universe exists as a distinct entity within the Continuums Franchise, characterized by its science-fantasy themes and deeply spiritual narrative.

Overview

Lethurèa is not a parallel or alternate universe but a completely independent universe. It was formed from the fathom of the Mother and Father, who imbued it with their wisdom and placed countless spirits within its bounds. These spirits were divided into tribes based on their dominant traits: Elesèa, Volamin, Haavolin, Kiitikon, and Sebuuk.

Lethurèa is home to diverse planes of existence, including:

Yedistren: The Life Plane where spirits are born and learn.
Voyd: A mysterious dimension containing anomalies and leftover spirits.
Gozog’nok: The Prison Plane, where malevolent spirits, such as Malis, are confined.
It’slémwé: The Mortal Plane, created to test spirits through mortality.

The narrative of Lethurèa revolves around creation, rebellion, and redemption, with spirits striving for divinity under the guidance of the Mother and Father,.

Creation Mythology

The universe began as a chaotic and serene spark, molded into a vast bubble by Merik Jenlek. Meera Jenlek contributed the spirits of their children, granting Lethurèa the task of teaching, testing, and cherishing them. The Mother and Father established order by setting laws and creating the Mortal Plane for spirits to gain wisdom through experience.

A rebellion led by the spirit Elidrèel, who sought to claim divinity for all, resulted in the Spirit War. This conflict devastated Yedistren and culminated in Elidrèel's transformation into Malis, the embodiment of evil. The loyal spirits restored Yedistren, crafting celestial bodies, stars, and galaxies to structure the cosmos.
