The Realms of Adaris

The Realms of Adaris

Adaris is a world composed of various realms, each representing different aspects of reality, consciousness, and the elements. These realms are divided into two main categories: the Intangible Realm, which embodies the abstract and metaphysical, and the Tangible Realm, which represents the physical and elemental aspects of existence.

The continent on which most land is, is known as Elemara.

The Intangible Realm

The Intangible Realm encompasses the non-physical dimensions of Adaris, where ideas, emotions, memories, and spiritual forces take form. These realms are less about tangible geography and more about abstract concepts that influence the lives and thoughts of all beings in Adaris.
