Origins

The setting is divided into four Origins of power:

• Fury Origin: The oldest of the Origins, seeking singular dominance of the universe, now imprisoned.
• Integral Origin: The second Origin, which imprisoned Fury to create order and seeks stability in the universe.
• Strange Origin: The third Origin, born from damage to The Integrum during The Shattering.
• Void Origin: The fourth Origin, also born from damage to The Integrum during The Shattering which seeks to end all things, destroying the universe.

Notes

• Health, fatigue
  • What if fatigue was split into mental fatigue and physical fatigue, and became a unified mechanic for lots of things, like encumbrance = physical fatigue
  • Relatedly, what if armor didn't have special rules about agility checks and movement, and instead was just encumbrance, and by extension physical fatigue
  • Physical fatigue would cover things like might/agility checks and defenses, physical attack rolls, movement speed, and initiative
  • Mental fatigue would cover things like wits/resolve checks and defenses, magical effect rolls, and initiative
• Rituals of Parturition are how childbirth works
• Size is a huge variable in combat, amplifying HP, physical damage, might, and reducing defense

• Shattering breaks The Integrum into an arbitrary number of "timeline dimensions"
  • Connected by portals (Hidden Form)
  • Connected by Strange Sea (Strange magic)
  • Connected by Astral Sky (integral, patternsailing)

• Obyrith goals are, mythically, to subsume the universe in Strange, by ending "time", because entering the Strange through time happens naturally at the end of time.
  • Arcadians don't like this idea because they actually like (and kind of need) time.

• Patternsailing requires some Orrery bits and old Pattern bits that informed time and space.
  • Destiny heralds are needed to navigate patternsails.
  • Pattern heralds are needed to turn the Orrery bits into a helm.
