Cottonwine Lore - Hermetic Account of Creation (Patreon)

Yes, I'm publishing lore as I find the time to decorate the pages I've written. I decided to start with the best estimation of the metaphysical nature of creation, which lays the foundation for a system of magic and supernatural phenomenon custom to a fantasy world. Technically, this makes the world high fantasy, but for most in it, it behaves as low fantasy, since the astral is rarely accessible, blah blah.

I borrowed the term "Hermetic" to refer to a philosophy of discerning a guess at the nature of the universe, spiritual and material, by collecting ancient mythologies and trying to create a canon. There are many other philosophies and religions besides this.

You'll notice the writings have a by line. They are written by a character who lived in the universe, with all his biases, knowledge, and ignorances intact. The rest of the lore presentations will be written by others, with the understanding of the flawed narrator phenomenon working here. Just like our histories in real life.

I know this is very boring for most of you, but it's kind of fascinating to me. Thanks for indulging me. There will be more to come in steady drips, including writings about factions, history, races, and professions.
