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 within The Integrum.
- 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
