This is the basic plan for the world, Terra-Mythos. Terra-Mythos is a mix of different mythologies, Greek, Norse, Egypt, African, Christian, Shinto, Hindu, Chinese and Celtic. Because of this, the power system of the world follows a single ranking but based on these myths.
For starters, we will start with the Four Realms:
1. Mortal Realm - Terra: This is realm for most living beings.
2. Spirit Realm - Aetheria: This is the realm for spirit beings like fairies, and souls.
3. Divine Realm - Elyria: This is the realm for immortals, gods, etc. It also contains the Seven Heavens and the Seven Hells.
4. Chaos Realm - Kaos: This realm is home to beings of chaos, whose classification is unknown.
The next is the Kingdoms of Terra-Mythos, mostly for the Mortal Realm as the other realms follow a different type of settlement. There are six kingdoms, home to the six high races of the world.
This is the list of the kingdoms, the races they belong to and their cities:
1. Solaria - Humans: Aurora(capital), Armstrong, Obosu, Adam, Throst
2. El'goroth - Elves: Elvanor(capital), Sylvaria, Freiyaria, Quivar, Rose
3. Inferna Dike - Demons: Ignis(capital), Luxuria, Avarice, Ashborn, Satanus
4. Aquaria - Merfolk: Corallia(capital), Levis, Poseidonia, Wolsh, Oceania
5. Northern Ferocia - Beastmen: Ferrox(capital), Leo, Wulvric, Ranga, Slovak
6. Caeluminis - Angels: Eden(capital), Caelestus, Zion, Jordan, Nazareth
The next up is the order of Sects in the world. These sects are numerous, but they have eight main sects who share a relation to the various mythologies stated above:
1. Shadow Fang Sect - Egypt
2. Silver Lotus Sect - Chinese
3. Joint Sects of Valhalla - Norse
4. Order of Crusaders - Christian
5. Nananom Asone - African
6. Radiant Sakura Sect - Shinto
7. Tuatha De Dannan - Celtic
8. Sects of Trimurti - Hindu
Note: Unlike the kingdoms, the sects do not specialize in racial backgrounds. Some kingdoms like Solaria, accepts all races as long as there are benefits. But the sects aren't biased towards races, so any race can join any of the sects.
Of course, there are terms and conditions to be met.
The next up is the Power Ranking of the world. It is named the Mythos Ascension System.
NB: I'm still developing it, so if you have any suggestions with any of the points, feel free to express your view.
Mythos Ascension System
The Mythos Ascension System is grouped into tiers of ten. The first six tiers are for mortals:
1. Tier 1 - Mortal (Initiate): Training body, spirit and mind. There are three steps to achieve it. Circle of Body, Circle of Spirit and Circle of Mind. Creating these circles of the Mortal, will result in the Circle of Initiation.
2. Tier 2 - Blessed (Favored): Gain supernatural abilities/elements. This stage is where one starts using the element they were born with after training their being in Tier 1. It also has three steps, which requires one to create circles to form a larger circle, creating two circles in their body, soul and mind in the end.
These steps are Elemental Core Formation, Circle of Element, Circle of Comprehension to achieve the greater circle of Favored.
3. Tier 3 - Demigod (Scion): This stage is where you fuse your mortal body with your element, to become more experienced in your element. In the end, you create the Circle of Scion. There are three steps to this too.
Body Forgery, Elemental Extension, Zone Creation (1km).
4. Tier 4 - Mythborn (Chosen of Legends): This is the stage where one starts the ultimate path of immortality. They become partially immortal that the only way for them to truly die is when their hearts and minds are destroyed. It involves creating a mythical body or more like gaining a mythical body which elevates your power to the mythical level. Beings at this level are at least Kings, Queens or Sect Leaders, mostly.
There are two steps for this level. Avatar Creation, Fate Defiance (Create a Domain - 10km). The end point is the Circle of Legends.
5. Tier 5 - Divine Champion (Hand of Gods): This stage has only one objective, becoming a True Demigod. There are three steps to it. Create an Area, Create a Territory, Create a Kingdom and the end point is a True Name, which sums up all created circles to give you a divinity based on your True Name.
6. Tier 6 - Ascended (Apotheon): This stage also has one objective, becoming a false god. There are three steps to step into the realm of godhood although you will be like a lion cub as compared to the gods who are lions. They are Transcend Body, Transcend Body, Transcend Spirit and Transcend Mind.
