Vulgaris

Vulgaris is the name for the ordinary universe, also referred to as The Known Universe, the Verse, or simply the cosmos. Wildspace and the Physical Realms together make up the bulk of the Vulgaris. Within it are countless luminaries, planets, planetoids, worldshards, and various other stellar phenomena. Nivarra is but one realm among many located within the Vulgaris.

Vulgaris is separated from its chaotic and undefined cousin, Aemidium, by way of the Gauntlet. While the Gauntlet keeps Aemidium from physically flowing into the Vulgaris, it does not prevent the flow of energy. It is through this that magic flows from Aemidium into the Vulgaris.

Vulgaris is a realm of order, largely thanks to the tireless efforts of the titans. It and the titans are locked in an eternal struggle against the disorder of Aemidium.

Origin
Vulgaris did not always exist. When the titans first stepped foot in our universe, they found only Aemidium - a realm of undefined chaos. Their initial view of the cosmos was that of an unpainted picture. The titans viewed Aemidium as a realm of limitless potential, and all that it required was a sculptor to take advantage of it. They created the magical artifact known as the Celestial Anvil and around it, the Vulgaris.

With the budding Vulgaris centered around the Celestial Anvil, the titans could shape its laws any way they wished. They created the Vulgaris as it is known today through careful trial and error. The Forgotten Tapestry is home to these previous iterations of Vulgaris, and masterful mages have been traversing the hidden alcoves of reality for millennia.

Composition
Within Vulgaris are two constituent realms: Wildspace and the Physical Realms. The Physical Realms actually refers to the individual luminaries and their planetary systems, each individual realms of their own. Wildspace refers to the area separating each the Physical Realms from one another.
