{{Cool header with div lines|Welcome to the Amaranth Legacy Wiki}}
The Amaranth Legacy Wiki is a collaborative world building project accommodating a variety of genres such as science fiction or fantasy and everything in between. We currently have [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] user-created articles. Our main goal is the sharing of interesting ideas as well as sparking interplay to enhance them.

{{Cool header with div lines|Our goal}}
A vast cosmos in both space and time can be host to an infinitely complex story — a common line of history, magic, and purpose uniting the whole of reality. Within this story is room for a vast array of writing styles, from short stories to analytical retelling of key historical events, interstellar empires, newly space-borne civilizations landing on a new planet, or even medieval tales involving the smallest of scales have a place and each are capable of being equally valuable to the community we have here.

If you are just starting out on the Amaranth Legacy Wiki, perusing a few articles will be an invaluable insight into not just the lore but the very idea of the wiki itself. Another way to get connected is through our [https://discord.com/invite/e656rk3VVd Discord server]. Talking about ideas is an incredible way to learn about the setting as well as to refine one's own writing ability. "Iron sharpens iron," they say. Also, we have a pretty simple [[Project:Rules | project rules]] page in case you are concerned.

{{Cool header with div lines|Lore}}
On the Amaranth Legacy Wiki, numerous different regions of localized lore collect to form a single, coherent narrative spanning countless years across three distinctive universal eras. Primarily the Wiki's scope is on that of a cosmic scale, meaning most articles take place in a science fantasy space setting. However, other segments of the Wiki's lore may only take place only in a small region of space, such as a singular star system, or even upon one planet. Ultimately, the discretion of scope is left up to the individual author.

Alongside scope, the amount of ''"realism"'' one wishes to put into their work is also left to the individual writer to decide on. While most everything on the Wiki uses either soft sci-fi systems, or full on fantasy magic, there is room for hard science concepts to thrive on the Wiki. However, something to bare in mind when one is writing hard sci-fi is that most of the Wiki abides by totally foreign rulesets, meaning the realistic concepts one wishes to implement into their work can only extend to their own region of lore, and any subsets contained therein.

The setting of the Wiki is totally fictional, meaning there are no real world locations, settings, or individuals that inhabit it. Real world names may appear on the Wiki, however they always adopt a different context to its inspiration. This extends to every article on the Wiki, and there are no plans to ever allow for lore involving real world subject matter.

{{Cool header with div lines|Universal Succession}}
One of the most prevalent thematic elements of the Wiki is the concept of '''"Universal Succession,"''' wherein the fabric of the universe will drastically change following a great event of creation or destruction. What defines a separate universe from another is that it contains inherent traits which make it metaphysically impossible for it to exist at the same time as other eras. By definition, this means that all universes are unique and isolated in their own right, however, crossover between them can occur in specific instances. Currently there are three eras of the universe, colloquially referred to as '''''"realms."''''' In chronological order they are:

* '''Imagindarium's Creation''', which comprises the macrocosms of '''[[Ambrosia]]''', '''[[Libation]]''', and '''[[Thavma]]'''.

* '''[[Cosmoria]]''', comprising the regions of '''[[Aylathiya]]''', '''[[Azurullya]]''', '''[[Florathel]]''', '''[[Lowiras]]''', '''[[Sinister]],''' and '''[[Zalanthium]]''', surrounding its core, the '''[[Lux Aeterna]]'''.

* '''[[Galvyria]]''', which primarily consists of the two dynamic regions of '''[[Galvyria#Caledwyr|Caledwyr]]''' and '''[[Galvyria#Glawiad|Glawiad]]''', representing the foundational domains '''Hviyam''' and '''Aeter''' respectively.

Currently, there are no plans to allow for a fourth or further universal era to be introduced into the Wiki, however this may change in the future.
