A quick note:
This roster is as much a living document as the rest of the site. Updates will be frequent as new universes are discovered, new subworlds created, and new names given to those that already exist. The only things that will not be changed are world IDs and a world's Multiverse of Origin. We thank you for your understanding.
The Structure of the Omniverse (The Galaxy Model)
Think of a multiverse as like a galaxy. At its core is the primal realm (sometimes called the primal world or the origin world), which is surrounded by alternate universes (AUs for short). Alternate universe are created from drastic deviations in timelines within the primal realm, and, as such, they often are the manifestations of potential futures. All alternate universes are considered "unlocked"; they can be entered at will by anyone, no matter which multiverse the person or the world belongs to. However, many of the primal realms are considered "locked", meaning they can not be accessed. The only exceptions are Destiny and Alduran Prime, both of which are unlocked.
In order to tell which worlds belong to which multiverse, one must simply observe a world's magic system, its history, and its structure; with very few exceptions, all worlds in Destiny have the exact same magic types, follow a similar if not identical story up until the twenty-first century at the earliest, and all contain a maximum of five realms. Realms are essentially sub-universes (not to be confused with subworlds) inside a universe, though this definition can be stretched to include the Dream Realm and the like. They can be finite or infinite and vary in complexity, which determines whether or not they are considered a "major" or "minor" realm. Destiny's five realms are as follows: the Elemental Realm, its sole major realm, which is home to Elemental magic, the planet Earth and the solar system in which it resides, etc.; the Shadow Realm, a void-like, finite realm comprised of Dark magic energy, home to the Shadow Beasts, with a single kingdom at its centre; the Light Realm, a void-like, finite realm comprised of raw Light magic, home to the demigods, also with a single kingdom at its centre; and the Celestial and Hellfire Realms, both inaccessable to the living and the origins of the magic types that share their names. Additionally, primal realms are not truly realms, they are universes, despite the terminology.
Subworlds are independent, usually man-made universes, often with no realms, and nearly always finite. They float about like asteroids, unbound to a particular multiverse, even if one may stay in its multiverse of origin for its entire lifespan. Rarely are they stable enough to last for a long time, and any, especially older ones, and especially those that appear naturally, have their own natural law, and thus, they are often dangerous to try to enter. Creating a subworld requires consistantly powerful magic, something that is more than feasable for the Empire, but not so much for the average person. We oversee twenty subworlds as of writing, mainly for the sake of research, though there are some which we utilise for travel.
Deadworlds are unstable universes which have broken away from their multiverse in some way. Usually, like subworlds, they slowly disintegrate until they no longer exist, however it is possible for one to stabilise upon connecting with a multiverse again.

Outside the Omniverse
- The Dream Realm: Seemingly a realm to the omniverse itself, the Dream Realm is a void-like place which exists outside reality and can be bent to the wishes of any who enter. As its name implies, only one's subconscious self can enter the Dream Realm, and all that occurs during their stay has no direct effect on their physical body. It is most frequently utilised for private, inter-dimensional communication or as a method of time travel, however it seems a certain Shadow Beast has been using it for more malicious activity. We are unsure exactly how and why Shadowweaver gained so much control over a sector of the Dream Realm, however we are aware of her using it to mess with people, for lack of a better phrase.
- A Potential Second Realm?: There may be yet another realm to the omniverse that we simply cannot enter. Our only source of knowledge on this possible realm is through Juno, as they believe it is their Universe of Origin, so to speak, but they have little knowledge on anything about it. The Empress seems facinated by it, however, so we have included it.
- The True Reality: It's existance is left up to speculation, though there is scant evidence to suggest that there is a world, or perhaps multiple worlds, outside the omniverse that have a strong influence on it. The Theory of the True Reality is an ancient one and has often been referred to in the modern day as a sort of precursor to Simulation Theory, though it is much more magical in origin. The Theory, as it goes today, suggests that a higher plane of existance is somehow responsible for the strange happenstances of the omniverse: locked and unlocked primal worlds despite all alternate worlds being completely accessable, entire multiverses appearing and disappearing out of the blue with no effect on Destiny-Alduran, the merging of the two largest multiverses into one supercluster, and the existance of the Dream Realm, to name a few. For centuries, at least here in Destiny, this theory was considered nothing more than conspiracy, but as we learn more about the fundamentals of magic and the multiverse, the more we have begun taking it sincerely, especially considering it seems to also exist in Alduran despite the lack of connection between our two multiverses until the cluster's formation.
