Immortal Realms

The Immortal Realms or the Ever-Created, referred to by scholars as the Other Realms or the Otherworld, are the only plane of existence coterminous with the Material Realm known to man at the moment. According to the creation myth of the Elves, which was also taken up by the Filian Church, the Immortal Realms were created first by the Heavenly Father, fashioned from the raw power of creation. The Immortal Realms are never-dying, a never-ending realm of continuous creation where the wildest, most fantastical of realities remain in existence. Compared to the Material Realm, the Immortal Realms are more extreme, containing pockets of faerie, elemental energy, shadow, and even more fantastical locations within. Where the energies spill over into the Material Realm, they form the nodes that scholars speculate are the origins of divine, eldritch and arcane magical energies. Closer to these nodes and along the invisible ley lines connecting them, the Material Realm takes on the aspect of its ever-created twin, resulting in natural features which the learned eye may discern as stemming from this particular source and which the superstitious might ascribe to local myth.

According to their creation myth, the Heavenly Father gave birth to the Elves in the Immortal Realms, but their wise minds grew restless and they desired more than the immortal constancy of the Otherworld. Therefore, the Heavenly Father allowed them to pass over into the Material Realm, leading to the advent of death. The scriptures of the Filian Church stipulate a similar story for the other races, though the existence of arch-humans, arch-dwarves, arch-gnomes akin to the eladrin, the primordial form of elvenkind, has yet to be proven. Both agree that any being that dies in the Material Realm is ushered into the Immortal Realms, where they shall be judged.

The Kalnozemes believe that the Immortal Realms are the home of their gods and spirits, and that users of divine and arcane magic are touched by them.
