Introduction

The Goddess Dalji, the elegant architect of all existence, formed the planets from the residual stardust that lingered in her hair after the birth of the Ether.

Each strand of her celestial locs sparkled with remnants of light, stardust, and cosmic potential, which she sculpted with a graceful wave of her hand.

From these remnants, she forged the three interconnected Realms that shape our very universe and solar system.

The rheum from her eyes—the divine tears of creation—became the moons and suns that illuminate the myriad worlds nestled within the Realms of Fiction, Betwixt, and Reality. These orbs of light, imbued with the potential of her sorrow and joy, orbit the cosmos, maintaining the delicate balance between the known and the unknown.

The three Realms, collectively known as the Realms of Existence, exist in a fluid dance of perception. Fiction and Reality are interchangeable, blurring the lines between imagination and truth.

What is deemed a mere tale or myth in one Realm could be the undeniable reality of another, with the Betwixt serving as the liminal space that binds and distorts them both.

The Ether, often called the Abyss of Fate, is an ever-shifting, sentient expanse, both a canvas and living entity that breathes with every thought and whisper of existence. It is here that Goddess Dalji painted the fabric of life itself, with each brushstroke bringing forth new worlds, creatures, and destinies.

Travel between the Realms has been made possible through the Etheric Cross Stations: a complex network of inter-dimensional train stations that transcend time and space, bridging worlds that were never meant to meet.

The Enzo Express, a grand locomotive fueled by the etheric stardust swirling within the Etheric Stream, is the lifeline of this network. It winds through the mystic currents of the Ether, transporting denizens through dimensions, dreams, and realities unknown.

As you embark on your journey through the Ether, be ever vigilant. The pathways between the Realms are treacherous, and the true nature of the Ether is ever-changing. Shadows conceal hidden dangers, and what appears familiar may be something far more sinister beneath the surface.

May the Goddess Dalji guide your steps and protect those close to your heart, for the Ether is vast, and its secrets are boundless.
