THE ECLIPSE CODEX COSMOLOGY

Threefold Reality

Everything exists simultaneously as Form, Perception, and Essence: the Manifest, Reflection, and Root.

01

One existence, three aspects

The Threefold Reality describes a single universe of connected aspects rather than three unrelated copies of it. Each person, place, and object expresses itself physically in the Manifest, conceptually in the Reflection, and fundamentally in the Root.

The framework is inspired by Realmatic Theory from the Cosmere, but this setting uses its own terminology and rules. Manifest, Reflection, Root, Signature, Threads, and Lumen are terms belonging to Lunor's original fictional cosmology.

02

Interaction

Events in one aspect can influence the others. A change of physical form may shift how others perceive an entity. Powerful changes to perception may affect how a place appears, but do not automatically rewrite its underlying Signature.

03

Travel and access

The Manifest and Reflection may be traversed in extraordinary circumstances. The Root is best understood as foundational structure rather than a normal destination with floors and walls. Magic acts on it through specific principles.
