Light Scar is one of the two dimensions in the Alma-centric universe. It is a magical dimension with high and dark fantasy concepts throughout it. Light Scar has a unique ability to adapt concepts from other worlds that were unfulfilled in their place of origin. This results in its common description: The world of things that were never meant to be.
Creation Story
After the creation of Light Scar’s five gods, one was compelled to create the dimension in question. Shaila thought that if the Core God was compelled to create them, then they should create as well. In their infinite compassion, Shaila would create a sanctuary for the creative energies being wasted in other worlds. A mending of the wound caused by unfulfilled potential: Light Scar. Thus, the universe was created.
Iben would create time so the world could change and persist, while Ux created the living vessels that could experience this world. Shaila created the ground Ux’s creations inhabited, giving the world form.
Esk saw a fatal flaw in Ux’s design. Without restrictions, the world could get out of hand. Esk created death and entropy to prevent mortal beings from ascending beyond the gods. So the world wouldn’t be destroyed, the natural destruction of the world would serve a purpose in the forces of creation.
Tulu would become jealous of the other gods. Convinced by The Voice, they had plans to meddle in all aspects of creation. Tulu would introduce chaos to the world by distorting many of the other god’s creations. They would create magic: an unpredictable force intended to be harnessed for further chaos. Tulu would create the moons of each world as vessels for them to watch its turmoil through.
As a countermeasure to Tulu’s efforts, the gods would collectively create a pseudo-god in the form of Nature. Inhabiting all planets to some degree, they act as a medium for communication between the gods and their creations.
Deities
Light Scar has five distinct gods, each fulfilling separate roles in the world’s creation. Religions dedicated to them have not received direct contact from the gods in a long time, leaving many fearful of if they are still here anymore.

Trivia
- Many elements of Light Scar contain references to religion and use its concepts to explain its strange nature. This had the unintentional result of a player in the “Alma’s Prophecy” campaign finding accidental references to Mormonism in some of its world-building.
