![[⎋ Real-World]] **Welcome to the official wiki of [[The Heavens|the Heavens]], a high-magic fantasypunk[^huh?] universe, created by [January November](https://bsky.app/profile/blog.psychospace.info).** This wiki maintains *over 235,000 words* and over 1,000 articles^[Count last updated 4-2-2024.], and is continuously maintained by its team of [[✼ Credits|contributors]]. > Myth and mirth fuel the societies of the [[Wild Blue Yonder]] on floating sky-islands known as [[Remnant|remnants]], whose [[Flipside|flipsides]] hold secrets, other worlds, and treasure beyond compare. > > [[Magic]] finds its source in [[Psychospace|psychospace]], a realm of the mind which overlays all [[Soul|living things]], where your very emotion and ingenuity can conjure the [[Elemental energy|elements]], give [[Visitant|face]] to thought, [[Eidolon|guard]] your people, and much much more. > >As [[Airship|airships]] carve through [[Cloudscape|clouds]] and charter through [[skysea|oceans of air]], buzzing away on the remnants' surfaces is a changing world... and one always on the cusp of another wake-up call. ![[Year (unit)#^114bc9]] >[!caption|sban] ![[img_mmt_poster.jpeg|banner+tall p+ctcc]] [[img_mmt_poster.jpeg|Poster]] by *[[✼ Credits#^4926d3|forbiddentaako]].* >[!info|clean no-title] ># What is this world? >This world, **[[the Heavens]]**, was originally created by January November, beginning on August 5th, 2019 (AD, not [[Pinwheel Tempo|PT]]!) for [tabletop roleplaying](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabletop_role-playing_game). > >Though the concepts which built it out (including psychospace itself) were initially designed with a science-fiction focus in mind, the setting became more fantasy-centric and was greatly expanded when the first campaign run in it, *[[⍟ Magical Mystery Tour]]*, was planned, prepared, and run. While it is still used for TTRPGs, it is also used for other purposes, such as fiction. > >The Heavens was designed to be largely without a distinct genre so that many different stories can be told within it. It was inspired primarily by many video games, cartoons both East and West, and various artists, such as [nelnal](https://twitter.com/nelnalium), [juanmao](https://twitter.com/juanmao1997?lang=en), [klaufir](https://www.patreon.com/salieske), and others. > >## What is this website? >**Psychospace.info** acts as the official [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki) for the Heavens, maintained and written by its creator. It was initially launched on August 5th, 2023, and has grown ever since. > >Many people have contributed to this project over the years, and their work is represented here. > > You may also be interested in the many [[✼ Stories|stories]] told in this universe. --- # What even IS psychospace? >![[Psychospace | no-foot]] [^huh?]: "<b>High-magic</b>" — [[magic|magic]] is highly prevalent in the natural order of the setting. "**Fantasypunk**" — the setting has a strong fusion of fantastical sword-and-[[sorcery]] elements alongside steampunk and dieselpunk late-19th-century aesthetics, tech, and sensibilities, without a clear delineation between the two. Think "most *Final Fantasy* settings" and you've got the right idea.
