"After all the First World is the centre of our multiverse, the nexus point of all our known dimensions."

-Roark (Book of Bollikin)

Lusternia, also known as the First World, is the planet at the center of the known multiverse, though in common parlance it is often a synecdoche for its entire cosmos.

History

From Yudhe, Dynara inherited his desire to create, and so she created many things, the first of which was Lusternia, also called the First World. Around Lusternia, Dynara formed countless more worlds and planes of existence and so filled the universe of Yudhe with an endless stream of things.

-Cosmogenesis

Lusternia was formed by Dynara, one of the two Daughters of Yudhe.

Geography

Lusternia has been ravaged by multiple cataclysms in its history. Much of the planet is now an inhospitable and virtually impassable wasteland. In the current age, the most populous continent seems to be the Basin of Life, though several others are known to exist.

Continents

Celestial Neighbors

Seven major celestial bodies are observable from Lusternia: the Sun, the Moon, Eroee, Sidiak, Tarox, Papaxi and Aapek.

Extraplanar Geography

Inhabitants of Lusternia have discovered ways to access other planes of existence, "higher" vibrations of reality, that Dynara created. Additionally, some travel the aetherspace, the interstitial medium between the planes, and reach the aetherbubbles, encapsulated realities separated from all others.

Places Beyond

The Histories tell of realities further than even farthest planes: the Void, the origin of humans that lies beyond the tear, the source of the Other that joins with mortal shards when they pass through the Portal of Fate.
