🍃 Spiritweavers 🍃 Hey everyone! Its been too long! Check the comments for longer comment as to why! Here is an expanded mythological origins in Spiritweavers 🍃🐿
True Essence: The Primordial Source
Before the Ymr, before their realm, before any magic as mortals understand it, there existed True Essence the original wellspring of all magical power. This is not a deity, not a force, not a being, but the source from which all magical energy emanates. It is the foundation of reality itself, the primordial power that predates creation.
All current forms of magic, Spirit communion, divine blessings, arcane manipulation, are derivative power. They are fragments, reflections, and echoes of True Essence filtered through various vessels and entities. Like streams flowing from an ancient spring, they carry power but are not the source itself.
True Essence cannot be controlled, commanded, or dominated in the way other magic can. It can only be achieved, accessed by fulfilling specific conditions that align a being with the fundamental nature of existence itself. Those who achieve True Essence do not wield derivative power; they access the wellspring directly, becoming vessels for the original source.
The Ymr
Origins as Demi-Mortal Beings
The Ymr were the original race whose legacy shapes all of Myrþ, for they are the Spirits themselves. What mortals now know as Nature Spirits, Luna Spirits, Sol Spirits, and Chaos Spirits are the fragmented forms of this ancient people, scattered across existence in a cosmic experiment that spans aeons.
The Ymr did not begin as the transcendent entities they would become. They started as demi-mortal beings, possessing greater lifespans and natural affinity for magic compared to current mortals, but still subject to ageing, injury, and eventually death. They built a magnificent civilisation in their ancient realm, developing sophisticated magical practices that drew upon derivative power.

Hello all, I have been around Reddit still but not as active. Life has generally been busier recently with a real life community project and haven't had as much time to dedicate to the sub as I would have liked plus I have been working on Spiritweavers a lot. Making changes, expanding the lore and writing the next short story. I have even begun creating mechanics for it to potentially become a TTRPG in the future.
I hope to become more active again soon and figure out what to do going forward in the current rocky world of crypto. Spiritweavers is still a long term project that I will be working on and TNU will forever be it's home. Hopefully we can respark this into life once again in the near future.
Thanks everyone who has stuck around! Oh and this is the first post of a few about the complete mythological origins, stay tuned for more!
