Features of the World

This energy is the most powerful source of energy in the universe. This energy is what builds and holds the entire universe of Heiri’Khall together. Mages who cast spells, paladins who smite, warlocks who curse, and all members of society that use the Heira Veil, the ultimate veil that covers all realms, are using the runes that function as the building blocks of all things, as important as the matter and atoms that make up all things. 

Using potent spells, using high powered magic items, sailing the eternal sea, and anything else that uses this type of core energy can leave behind a viscous liquid, a remnant of true power, called Eterna. Eterna is potent, powerful, and functions as a powerful drug and performance enhancer for mages and casters. People who wield the true runes of the universe, the runes of magic, can also leave behind Eterna.

This magical energy is unmatched in potency and power, and those who use it do so at risk to themselves and others, and while this magic source is stable in the universe, it is more potent than most can manage. Increase the range, power, damage, elemental damage type, and any other factor of the magic you use by wielding Eterna enhancements and the runes together. The elemental energy that can be found is a minor, more specifically focused use of the Heiran Energy. 

This energy is derived from the power of divinity, a holy, terrifying, dangerous power source that can be wildly unstable if a mortal attempts to wield it, requiring extremely potent magical forces to be in line with the user. This energy can be tied to alignment in some occasions, and is drawn most often from a group of divine entities or dead gods, even from their private demi planes.

This energy is one of the most potent energy sources in the universe, and exists on all planes where gods roam or assist the people. This energy is harnessed by in-world priests, shamans, clerics, paladins, and many other high powered divine-chosen rulers across the universe. 

This is an unusual force of magical energy concentrated through vocal tones and instruments from the Eternal Sea, instruments tuned to the omnipresent music of the universe as Lady Heiri dances. 

This energy is extremely powerful, wild, and nearly untamable except by blessed and arcanely blessed musicians and Omnins, who use these vocal tones to speak. 

This energy is hard to manage and is a subset of arcane runic languages of the universe. This type of energy harnessing takes years of practice, but has been wielded by singers, bards, performers, and even extremely powerful priests and casters.

This rarely harnessed energy comes from the infernal planes and threaded planes of evil, a power source ruled by hellish universal entities and their home planes, most often hailing from the evil, threaded plane. 

This energy takes the form of vibrant yellow, red, orange, and white smoke, fire, and light. Looking into it opens your mind to the dark, dark evils of the universe. This energy source is harnessed often by the core and some regions of the depths, in the empires ruled by fiends and demons. This is an extremely damaging and risky energy to wield by mortals, but is harnessed more safely when summoning demons and fiends.

This energy type has many variations that provide different benefits and different powers to weapons, items, vehicles, shields, and engines. This is the most commonly used energy source in most Abraeas’Dor Empires as it is far more stable and mastering it has become commonplace, at least on Abraeas’Dor. 

Each of these energy types are pulled from the planes of the same energy type, wielded through runic magic or standard spellcasting to varying degrees.

The Origin Elements

1. Earth

2. Water

3. Fire

4. Air

The Subtypes are all damage types in D&D 3.5e and D&D 5e

This energy is the force of energy that is commonly found in empires, planes, and realms of death, like the primordial plane of death. This energy source is hard to harness and hard to manage unless the wielder understands death, and this energy often appears in places where the worship, use, or favoritism of undeath is common.

This energy is an offshoot of death energy from the primordial plane of death, a focused, specific, and harnessed form of energy not commonly found across the universe's planes. 

This is the fourth most potent form of energy in the Heiri’Khall Universe due to its direct connection to the primordial cosmic plane of Death, which allows death to exist throughout the universe itself. 

This energy allows people to create, control, harness, wield, or make undead creatures and powers. 

This energy is a newer form of energy, originally wielded by Vibarii, Habrintean god of Plague and Storm, which combines the potency of storm energy(lightning, cold, and thunder) with the natural powers of illness and death, drawn partially from the cosmic body of decay, the great corpse plane of  Nimm - The Corpse of the Endless Death, The Cosmic Corpse of Earth. 

This energy source is commonly used by empires and planes afflicted by plague from whichever plague, storm, cold, or decay based entities that exist within it. This energy is wielded through spells on the rare occasion, and is most commonly found throughout the entire universe in Roth, the monstrous empire in the prime material plane, Abraeas’Dor. 

This energy is chaotic, has the True Chaotic alignment, and acts as its own entity in whatever plane this energy exists in. 

This is the fifth most powerful energy source in Heiri’Khall, due to its wild and potent capabilities once harnessed and wielded properly. 

This is the shared energy found among species that share experiences and memories with others of their species, of which there are many in Abraeas’Dor. This is also considered a mental energy source, drawn from the collective souls and life energy of others like them found throughout the universe.

Wielding this energy is hard and takes a lot of mental exercise and practice. With this energy, you can draw upon your ancestors mental abilities. This is a power source available only to mortal species.

This energy is drawn similarly to the Memoran energy, except it ties to your ancestors physical abilities. Shared through genetic memory and researching ones own genealogy. Use this energy to borrow strength, agility, and endurance from your bloodline.

This energy fuels the stances, arts, and abilities of martial characters and warriors who fight through physical means. This energy is easiest to harness by noncasters.

Drawn from multiple elemental planes and wielded in a masterful way through practice and magical training. When you summon Tempan energy, you create controlled storms made up of lightning, sound, and water or ice energy, which is entirely under the power of the caster or machine using it.

A subtype of base elemental energies and mastered in the plane of Abraeas’Dor, you will find many items, power cells, and engines that function off this readily available and renewable energy source.

The heavy use of ancient technological creations of ancient Aevorr were adapted for magical use as the first catalyst in the reborn world around the year 2,200 in Abraeas’Dor. This discovery launched societies forward and began the mastering of universal energy leading to the robust systems available in the modern era, the 12th age.

Maggi-tech machines, engines, power cells, weapons, and batteries are energy storage and regulation machines that use ancient Aevorrian technological blueprints but are made from magical materials and contain magical energy.

Artificial intelligences, vehicle engines, siege weapons, firearms, communication arrays, medical technology, civilian conveniences, household appliances, industrial machinery, children’s toys, and everything else under the worlds three suns can be and has been influenced by the advances in maggi-tech.

There are only three empires out of over 50+ in the setting that do not use maggi-tech, those being;

1. What remains of Aevorr, who’s natives are not able to use magic, as well as their personal vaults of pure sci-fi technology rendering the need for magical help nonexistent.

2. Abirria, who’s pure magical abilities due to their native species have not necessitated the use of maggi-tech

3. Ibanakar, who’s pure and natural way of life alongside all things grown and raised have forbidden traditional industrial machinery. Alongside this, Ibanakar is just as successful with different types of magic as Abirria, not leaving space for maggi-tech to make an appearance.

Travel has been become more easily accessible, and many forms of it are readily available for you and your teammates to use.

The continents are quite large, and travelling by foot can take well over a year to cross only one region of the world. This has necessitated the invention and mass production of the main traversal methods listed below;

Airships - often powered through magical means, maggi-tech means, or general power sources like electricity, solar power, and fossil fuels. This is the fastest method of travel available in the setting. Each empire and nation has their own style and purpose for their airships, often utilizing different energy sources depending on most available resources for the region.

Submersible Ships - These are submarines, some far more technologically focused while still using maggi-tech engines and power systems. Some nations such as Mithiias invest heavily in this type of travel, as their lands are often submerged and the empire based in naval travel.

Naval Ships - These are the most common traversal method between larger regions, as the lands of Abraeas’Dor have been ravaged by many geological disasters creating thousands of routes to take, be they mortal made or the result of the worlds many disasters and millions of years of natural erosion. Like airships and submersibles, each nations constructs and powers these ships through most readily available or religiously significant power sources.

Land Vehicles - This is the most common traversal method when staying on the same continent. Empires like Vaarnux, Borr, and Thraxus’Nal are the greatest users of this particular type of maggi-tech travel. Some are built for faster travel while others are built for thousands of travelers but move at a much slower pace.

Public Transit Systems - The empires and societies of Abraeas’Dor have been growing, rising, and falling for the past 20,000 years, and their systems of travel for citizens and civilian populations have advanced to incredible levels. Trains, ferries, and mass teleportation hubs are greater examples of the worlds maggi-tech transit.

The empires of Abraeas’Dor are full of weapons and military arms that range from daggers to nuclear weapons. Different nations use differing style of weaponry, and each has a greater investments in certain arms than others, often due to cultural identity and historical significance.

A list of weapons available in the setting;

1. Firearms - In many different forms, from simple flintlock and gunpowder firearms to maggi-tech firearms, modern era firearms like shotguns and assault rifles, to sci-fi laser weapons. These are available in different empires for different prices.

2. Explosives - You can find pure magical explosive devices, maggi-tech bombs, nuclear weapons, arcane spell explosives, and standard explosives like dynamite and tear gas.

3. Combination Weapons - Some nations have combined firearms and traditional weaponry, most often with the use of maggi-tech power cells, like mortar firing Warhammers and explosive crossbows.

4. Traditional Weapons - Swords, spears, hammers, and daggers, are all included in normal weapon choices throughout most empires. Some are more symbolic, while others are standard issue weapons that use maggi-tech to fuel attacks as improvements to standard weaponry.

In the realms of Abraeas’Dor, maggi-tech advancements have made life much simpler and convenient for the average citizen and adventurer. Household appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, cellphones, radios, televisions, microwaves, etc.. are all available in different parts of the world, depending on need and available funds needed to make the convenience more or less common.

An empire like Abirria has evolved their magic to such a degree that free teleportation and communication devices are free to the public, which function on the same level as modern cellphones. Empires like Alith have greater communication devices, radios, television programs, businesses that provide entertainment like music recordings and scripted television shows, all of this tech based on the longer lasting and higher energy producing maggi-tech power cells and power grids.

The world has many differing versions of the world wide web, but very intense regulations in different empires make it hard for the world to be truly united underneath them.

The empires and nations found across the many levels of Abraeas’Dor are full of cities, towns, and villages, the world having over 12 billion people all across it. In the more recent eras, public transit needed to evolve, and has done so through the use maggi-tech due to it’s ease of use and the incredible abundance of pure magical energy and powerful building materials.

Train systems, airports, public ferries, teleportation networks, and any other form of public travel can be found in all regions of the world, each with their own native currencies and government funded systems.

Trains are the most common, while airports are second most common, and teleportation networks are the rarest available, often only found for public use in Abirria.

Modern medical tech like x-ray machines and vaccines are all present in the world of Abraeas’Dor. The empire of Alith leads the charge in medical technology due to their great investment in molecular magic and extreme focus on science and education.

All empires benefit from these advancements, an agreement reached when Alith joined the world around 1,000 years ago.

Magical advancements have also become more widely available, and maggi-tech medical devices have made medicine and healing easier than ever before.

The greatest investment in medical technology has been built around combating the horrible plagues of Vibarii, combating radiation poisoning, and the elimination of lethal diseases.

You can find cures for most variations of the plague, the proper equipment for diagnosing things as small as an iron deficiency, and you can take devices on your adventure that act as cures for most sicknesses.

Along with medical advances from maggi-tech, organ enhancers and super soldier creations have also been mastered in the 12th age.

Different empires use these creations at varying levels, with most enhancements going to soldiers, guard forces, and religious organizations across the different nations.

Enhanced strength, intelligence, endurance, tougher skin, flight abilities, resistances to other dangers are commonly the focus of these bodily modifications.

These inventions are so commonplace among abraeans that they are available to even the poorest of the poor, though the implants and enhancements might not be the best of the best.

Thraxus’Nal and Roth are the greatest users of these creations, their researchers investing tons of money into making them better.

Pure magical organs have been grown and implanted in places like
Abirria, Alith, and Ibanakar, using the waste from magical casting.

In addition, gene editing through magical implants and maggi-tech research has caused the evolution of certain species found across the realms. These procedures and nation-wide changes are usually chosen due to environmental or religious reasons.
