What is Harthorn's Reverie? Harthorn's Reverie encompasses a collection of meticulously crafted narratives, ranging from sprawling epics to intimate character-drive tales. Each story is rooted in one of several primary universes, known as Varses, which are further divided into thematic arcs and series. Together, these works create a unified multiverse known as the "Aggregate," a term that captures the depth and variety of this creative endeavor.
Whether you are a newcomer or a returning reader, this wiki is your guide to the intricate worlds of Harthorn's Reverie. Each page offers insights into the stories, characters, and settings, enabling you to explore the multiverse at your own pace. I invite you to dive in, discover connections, and become part of this ever-expanding narrative thread.
The Aggragate Multiverse
At the heart of Harthorn's Reverie is the Aggregate, a web of interconnected settings where stories interweave across timelines and dimensions. This concept has allowed for unique storytelling opportunities, where events in one universe can echo or diverge in another.
The Aggregate Multiverse operates on the principles of the Gyro-Varse and Libramenescence Theories, which conceptualize the universe as a single entity containing countless interconnected realities, or "Varses." These Varses, each governed by unique natural laws, are arranged in a gyroscopic structure with the Prime—the most stable reality—at the core. Surrounding the Prime are three rotating Rings: the Inner Rings (slight variations from the Prime), the Mid Rings (notable differences in history and natural laws), and the Outer Rings (entirely distinct realms with drastically altered rules).
A protective barrier known as the Bulwark separates these Varses, preventing constant collisions. However, tears in the Bulwark can cause interactions like Collisions, Impacts, and Fetterings, where Varses or Rings temporarily or permanently converge. Additionally, the Libramenescence Theory explores the layers within each Varse, comprising Dimensions, Planes, and Realms, each influenced by the collective consciousness of life within them.
