The Dance of Force‘s Inner Realms

This striking artwork illuminates the upper and innermost layers of the Dance of Force’s Transcendaverse, a realm where existence itself unfolds with divine rhythm and cosmic precision. At its center lies The Dark Core, the enigmatic heart of all creation. Veiled in shadow yet glowing white within, it radiates paradoxical brilliance—both the source of life and the cradle of dimensions. Its pulse reverberates through the cosmos, birthing the fabric of existence with every beat.


Outward from this heart stretches the realm of Empyrean, the zenith of light and divinity. The image captures a vibrant interplay of radiant hues, symbolizing the celestial mind that breathes form into ideas. Beyond this realm, utopian and dystopian dimensions converge, giving rise to sacred lands such as the Gardens of Eden, where mesmerizing variations of eternal twilight flourish, and Olympheirion, the exalted seat of mythological gods and celestial beings. These beings, occasionally known as the Numina Primis, or Old Gods, serve as ancient architects—subtle yet deliberate forces influencing mortal existence from their lofty status as the Numen of Humanity.


Encircling Empyrean, the Upper Band of Transience forms a luminous waystation for ascending souls. Its glowing threads signify the passage of spirits reaching toward angelic existence, a divine nexus linking the celestial with the mortal. 


Below, the light of Empyrean transitions into the Middle Realms—the vast expanse of Laniakea, a network of stars and galaxies woven like neurons within the infinite mind of the cosmos. Here, the harmonious dance of starlight and the Universe’s natural order reflects the unity of mortal and material realms. It is within this celestial expanse that all well-known stellar constellations—and countless others yet to be discovered—reside, their luminous patterns etched into the tapestry of creation, blending perpetual potential with the quiet grandeur of existence.

The Dance of Force’s Outer Realms

This next artwork delves into the profound depths of the Dance of Force’s Transcendaverse, descending through the shadowed and cryptically harsh layers where darker forces of existence manifest, their malevolence seeping upward to cast a lingering terror over the middle worlds.


Beneath the Mortal and Material Realms of Laniakea lies the Lower Band of Transience, a shadowed waystation where ethereal souls face their crossroads—either ascending toward higher realms of existence or descending into the dystopian depths. Marked by its dim, overcast light, this ephemeral realm forms a spectral bridge, suspended between the ghostly shadows of the Underworld below and the vibrant life of the mortal worlds above.


The descent then leads into Draelithar, the enigmatic Underworld, shrouded in shadow and mystery—a realm of layered dread and evocative, otherworldly beauty.


First comes the Misty Plains, the Underworld’s Upper Layer. A haunting expanse shrouded in shifting, eternal mist, this realm is where the River Styx weaves its dark course, dividing the living from the morbid echoes of the forgotten dead. Here, souls linger in a dusk existence, neither truly alive nor fully departed, suspended in profound desolation. The faint glow in the image reflects the eerie quiet and spectral boundaries of this shadowed realm, where every wisp of mist seems to hold a whisper of untold sorrow.


Descending deeper, we reach Tartarus, the Middle Layer of Draelithar. A realm of intensified torment and rebellion, it serves as the prison for ancient titans and fallen beings who dared defy the divine. Jagged chasms and unyielding walls dominate this domain, resonating with the endless echoes of cries etched into the fabric of eternity. Hades’ throne looms ominously here, embodying the relentless weight of judgment and the grim finality of divine retribution. The darker folds of the image capture its oppressive atmosphere, a place where defiance and despair are forever chained.


Even deeper still lies the Pits of Belial, the Netherworld’s Lower Layer—a festering abyss where malevolence takes on a tangible, insidious form. Darkness here claws at the very edges of existence with relentless ferocity. The sharp, hellish hues in the image pierce through this domain, capturing the anguish and chaos of a realm where insidious powers writhe. The faint fractures visible in the image reveal the intricate network of cavities that house the pits, each hollow steeped in agony and despair. Souls, lifetimes removed from redemption, feed the ever-present torment, their anguish fueling a power that seeps outward, scarring and corrupting neighboring realms. This is a domain where chaos reigns unchecked, embodying the unrelenting essence of destruction.


Beyond even these sinister depths lies the Vaculous—the Void of Voids. An endless vacuum of indifference, it is a realm where light, time, and sensation dissolve into an infinite chasm of pure nothingness, its edge perpetually merging with the fringe of creation. This silent, insatiable abyss acts as both a devourer of faith and a shield, safeguarding existence from forces that would unravel its very essence. The glowing elements in the image suggest the faint heartbeat of creation—a testament to its resilience as it presses against the void’s consuming stillness. This void, the ultimate frontier of despair, paradoxically cradles a whisper of hope for those who discern the gift within its vast emptiness—a reminder that even in the void, creation can endure, for only from Nothing can Something arise.

The Celestial Map of the Dance of Force World, Also Known as The Transcendaverse

A Guide Through the Dance of Force:


Behold the grand map of the Transcendaverse, an artistic unveiling of the cosmic order within the Dance of Force universe. This intricate creation brings to life the vast and layered dimensions of existence, from the radiant heart of creation to the unfathomable depths of the void. Embedded within this celestial artistry lies an ethereal overlay: the spirit realms, veiled yet intertwined with the billions of constellations of the material cosmos. The Heavens above radiate as celestial guardians, illuminating the eternal, while the Underworld below churns as the shadowed forge of unyielding transformation.


Each realm is marked by a uniquely colored star, shining as a beacon on the central map, guiding readers to the essence and position of these extraordinary domains—a sacred rhythm of harmony and conflict. Some may evoke a sense of familiarity, while others remain shrouded in mystery, beckoning discovery. Consider this the primordial battleground of wonder, strife, and undying reward, where the infinite dance of light and shadow unfolds across the ever-expanding cosmic expanse.


Challenge yourself to match each unique illustration of a distinct realm with its corresponding place in the universe, as revealed on the central map.


Did You Know?

The term Laniakea originates from a scientific concept—the Laniakea Supercluster, a vast galactic structure that includes our very own Milky Way. Coined by astronomers in 2014, the name draws inspiration from the Hawaiian words “lani” (heaven) and “akea” (spacious or immeasurable), perfectly capturing the boundless and celestial nature of this cosmic expanse.

Elluminar, the celestial Story Vine Tree in Dance of Force, glowing with radiant red branches.

Elluminar — Keeper of the Story Vines

At the heart of this saga, adrift within Eden, rests Elluminar—an Angelic Tree unparalleled in its essence, a celestial keeper of ancient knowledge. This sacred being, veiled in mystery, reveals its truths only as the tale unfolds. Suspended above vast lakes of dark matter, their shimmering depths mirroring the celestial divide, Elluminar’s ethereal roots extend from the angelic realms, threading through the void to drink deeply from the wisdom of countless aeons of vigilant observation.


Its roots plunge into the starry abyss, anchoring it to the eternal flow of creation, while its radiant branches blaze with celestial light. Each branch inscribes the unfolding stories of existence, crafting a resplendent map—a luminous guide to the entwined destinies and cosmic forces that define The Dance of Force universe. Elluminar stands as both a witness and a weaver, etching the grand design of this epic saga into the fabric of eternity.


Each time a book is released, a leaf of Elluminar lights anew, its hue reflecting the distinct color of the story vine it represents. These glowing leaves serve as beacons, their vibrant shades guiding readers to the threads of fate within the Transcendaverse. With every illuminated leaf, the tree grows ever more resplendent, a living being of the utopian flame ready to release many stories long since waiting to unfold.

Elluminar, the celestial Story Vine Tree, floating on the ethereal boundary with radiant roots

From Realms both Radiant and Shadowed

Each tale within The Dance of Force is a luminous branch of an eternal design, unfurling across the infinite expanse of the Transcendaverse. This saga does not begin with a single thread, but with many—story vines emerging from realms both radiant and shadowed, woven into the boundless web of creation. Some emerge from the material cosmos, where mortal lives flicker among the stars; others awaken in divine spheres, resplendent with timeless light. Still more arise from the shadowed netherworlds, their depths veiling truths forged in chaos and eternity.


Like the sacred limbs of a celestial tree, each story vine grows and intertwines, revealing mysteries as they converge into a grander design. These arcs of destiny, distinct yet bound by cosmic threads, guide readers through a labyrinth of dimensions, souls, and forces that shape this epic fantasy world and its eternal Dance.


The first story vine to emerge is The Crimson Path—a saga forged in blood and starlight. It begins with Through the Gates of Wrath, the opening volume of this arc, where celestial battles and ancient mysteries entwine. As these story vines intertwine, they form a living map of existence, revealing how every thread connects—each revelation a spark in the eternal rhythm of The Dance of Force.
