Itself sits right on the edge of the universe, partly in and partly out of the Horizon of Soliloquy - in fact, 90% of it is still beyond the Horizon, and the Horizon washes back and forth on the planet like a tide. Life in the Inner Universe posted by hyphz Original SA post The division between the Horizon of Soliloquy and the Lost Universe is called.Įnough for now, I think. , the Universe that, um, doesn't actually exist. The horizon can both expand and contract (according to most of the book - one section says it's constantly expanding but that breaks other things so I guess it's a mistake) and any unfortunate that gets caught underneath it when it contracts is frozen in time - although not necessarily dead, as they can come back fine if the Horizon expands again.īeyond the Horizon of Soliloquy is the point where no Eos wave can actually get to, because it stops in the Horizon before getting there. It's essentially an area in which time is stopped, because the Eos waves aren't moving anymore. , which is the point where even the Eos waves that get that far without bumping into things and getting reflected start to run out of steam and come to a stop. So if you jump out of your spaceship in the Outer Universe, you won't decompress or suffocate, although you'll probably still drift until you starve. Secondly, the Outer Universe is filled with air. All the planets in the Outer Universe orbit the White Ring - but remember, the White RingĪlso rotates, which ought to produce truly berserk night/day cycles and seasons but apparently doesn't. or without nearby planets getting in between each other and the White Ring. or without everything living on the White Ring getting incinerated and/or blinded. How the gently caress that works without the White Ring affecting the Solar Universe as well. First of all, there aren't any suns in the Outer Universe, because the White Ring acts as a sun for the Oookay.) The Outer Universe is different from the Solar Universe in several ways. (Yep, the Outer Universe is part of the Inner Universe. The constant conflict caused by the Black Sphere trying to pull the White Ring in amplifies the Eos waves the Great Spirit produces even further. It's a quite livable area, with forests and other creatures and everything else, and it revolves around the Black Sphere, apparently longitudinally (ie, a turning-in-place rather than a cartwheel). It's called the Solar Universe because it's the only part of the Inner Universe where planets need to have suns in order to function. , which is a big ol' black hole that absorbs Eos waves or anything else that gets near it. So, in the centre of the Inner Universe is the She (ooh, female God figure, aren't we trendy) is the eventual source of all the Eos waves, but apparently is not entirely independent of them and needs to absorb them in order to function - which is rather odd since the book also claims she created the first ones. Everything in the universe somehow affects Eos Waves, by absorbing or reflecting them or altering them or whatever, but only one thing actually creates them: the , which are "waves of essence, creation, and life" which can bounce around, reflect and be altered by things, and coalesce into matter. Everything in the Inner Universe is created from So, the universe in which Eoris is set is called the Just empty space for writing down Equipment and Contacts and that kind of thing. And the second page of the character sheet is I'll look up the name of the authors next chance. Partly because it's vaguely interesting and partly because this game uses so many made-up words that without understanding the setting, it's nearly impossible to understand what the mechanics are talking about.Īnd yes, it's from Columbia. Actually, the first thing you see when you open the Tree book is an entire page covered in emo poetry in roughly a 10-point typeface. There's no clue about where we're supposed to start, but cracking open the Tree book shows an early page reading "Book One: Dream" which seems as good as any. The same picture in different zooms and angles can appear about 6 times throughout the book. The only problem is that the artworks are repeated again, and again, and again, and again. They're all full colour and nicely printed, and on decent paper stock, too. They're letter-ish-sized books, but the binding is on theĪnd there is a lot of art in them. The one with the wolf on the spine has a bear on the cover, and the one with the tree on the spine has. Again, they have nothing printed on them, except for "Eoris Essence" on the cover.
