The Spheres of Influence are gathered into several bodies: the World, the Heavens, the Forces, the Virtues, War, and Peace. The World is composed of several Spheres: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit rest at the core of the World for they are the primary Elements that all things are constructed from. Between the primary Elements sit the Para-Elements (Magma, Ooze, Ice and Smoke) and above and below them sit the Quasi-Elements (Lightning, Vacuum, Radiance, Salt, Ash, Dust, Steam and Minerals). Two opposing powers shape the Elements of the World - Magic and Nature. See Figure 1 for a diagram of the Spheres that make up the World. FIGURE 1: The World and its components Between the Heavens and the World rotate the Greater and Lesser Virtues. At the border of the World sit the Sun and Moon, Spheres spawned of the Light and the Shadow, but fully neither. The Spheres of the Virtues dominate the motivation of mortal hearts and the Sun and Moon provide the mortal heart with inspiration. In the diffuse gray region where Light and Shadow intermingle the Forces flow unconcerned with the concepts of good and evil. War, spawned of Chaos and Shadow, is influenced but not dominated by its parent Spheres. Peace, spawned of Order and Light is likewise merely influenced by those Spheres. The relationships between the Spheres of the Heavens is complex and thus illustrated in Figure 2 below. FIGURE 2: The Relationship of the Spheres (Heavens and World combined) The start of the Third Age to Thera heralded the creation of the Spheres, heavenly bodies that store the resources of the gods and influence mortal destiny. The war among the Immortals in the Second Age led to separation and mistrust and thus the Spheres were created.
