'''Continuum Universes''' is a multiversal franchise created by [[Christian Daniel Jensen]] and later co-developed by [[Ryan C. Jensen]] and [[Kristen Michelle Jensen|Kristen M. Jensen]]. It began with the ''[[Legends from Lethurîa Series|Legends from Lethurîa]]'' era and expanded into a connected multiverse of distinct [[Universe|universes]]—each with its own worlds, cultures, and genres—linked by Continuum-level metaphysics, cosmology, and recurring themes. | |||
The franchise’s earliest setting was [[Lethurîa]], first conceived in 2007. In 2013, [[Aroenious]] was developed as an additional core universe, created by [[Ryan C. Jensen]] through inspiration and collaboration with [[Christian Daniel Jensen]]. Over time, the wider Continuum grew to include universes such as [[Galaxa]], [[Mystifea]], [[Aerenda]], and [[Midheim]], among others. | |||
Roughly September 2024, the [[Continuum Universes Wiki]] was established on [https://www.fandom.com/ Fandom] and later moved to a self-hosted server as the primary canonical reference and development hub for the setting. | |||

== History == | |||
The conceptual roots of Continuum Universes trace back to the early development of [[Lethurîa]] (2007), originally envisioned as a singular setting for mythic storytelling and long-form narrative projects. As the franchise matured, it shifted from a single-world structure into a multiversal framework capable of supporting multiple tones and genres—ranging from classic fantasy to science fantasy and cosmic-scale science fiction—without forcing all stories to share the same rules of “reality.” | |||
In 2013, the creation of [[Aroenious]] marked a major expansion point. Rather than replacing [[Lethurîa]], Aroenious broadened the franchise’s scope by adding new cosmological assumptions, aesthetic identity, and worldbuilding priorities while still remaining compatible with Continuum-level continuity. | |||
By 2024, the growing project demanded a centralized documentation system. The [[Continuum Universes Wiki]] was launched to organize lore, terminology, timelines, and cross-universe relationships. After its initial period on Fandom, the wiki moved to self-hosting to support long-term stewardship, greater creative control, and broader content allowances. | |||
== Setting == | |||
Continuum Universes is built around the idea that multiple [[Universe|universes]] can coexist within a single, higher-order structure (the “Continuum”), enabling stories to operate at different scales: | |||
* '''Local scale''' — individual worlds, cultures, characters, and conflicts within a universe (for example, the narrative foundations rooted in [[Lethurîa]]). | |||
* '''Universal scale''' — the internal cosmology and “rules” unique to each universe (for example, [[Aroenious]] as its own distinct creative and worldbuilding domain). | |||
* '''Continuum scale''' — inter-universe connections, recurring concepts, shared metaphysical principles, and cross-setting themes that allow separate universes to feel like parts of one overarching franchise. | |||
As the franchise expanded, additional universes were developed to explore different moods and genre “flavors,” including [[Galaxa]], [[Mystifea]], [[Aerenda]], and [[Midheim]]. These settings are treated as authentic, living parts of the Continuum rather than alternate skins of the same world. | |||
== Media == | |||
Continuum Universes supports multiple forms of storytelling and interactive media, including books and game-oriented projects. In addition to ongoing lore documentation through the [[Continuum Universes Wiki]], the franchise has also produced or planned several game initiatives under the Continuum brand, including: | |||
* [[Continuum Universes CCG]] | |||
* [[Continuum Universes (Minecraft Mod)|Continuum Universes in Minecraft]] | |||
* [[Continuum Universes 4X]] | |||
* [[Continuum Universes TTRPG]] | |||
Development and stewardship of Continuum-branded interactive projects is associated with [[Continuum Universes Studio]], while publication efforts may be supported by [[Jensen Saga Studio]] depending on the project. | |||
