The Waking World

In the lore of the Common Faith of Terrafirma, the Waking World is the physical world, the land of the living. It's made of Matter and it's separated from the Eternal Night (the world of the dead) by a layer of Vibration which creates a dimension called the Shade.

According to the myths, in the beginning Terrafirma was in a state of entropic soup, in which Matter, Vibration and Void coexisted. As these elements reacted to each other, they began to crystalize in beings of pure Matter (animals), beings of pure Vibration (the Gods) and beings of a mixture of Matter and Vibration (humans). This crystalization catalysed the process of separation of the layers and the creation of the Waking World.
