Cosmology

Residents of Inoa experience a great many things. Air, Fire, Water, Order, Chaos, Hate, Love, everything else, all of them are like different colors in a spectrum to which the reality of Inoa is white light. Elos, the creater of all this, created beings called those-of-Elos, or the Elosi. These were created to shepherd important aspects of mortal experience.

There are other powerful entities at work. Rebellion and Control are bound to the mortal plane. Most of their power comes from being the very essence of aspects of conscious thought, so in their unbound state even the Elosi are in danger of being manipulated as those thought-strings are tugged. They exist in a fraction of their former power, a delicate balance held between the two conflicting entities. If the Elosi were to mankind (or womankind, Angela) what an elephant is to an ant, the entities would be a wraith of the air. Something entirely other and yet incomprehensible to the ants.

There are countless other planes of existence although none of them are the "balanced white light" that is Inoa. Many of them have their own inhabitants and their own stories. It is told by the Elosi that the entities came from one such realm back when the mortals still explored them, and they came from a realm far, far distant to Inoa.

There is an afterlife, and not much is known about it because communication with the dead is always incredibly vague. It is thought to be blissful beyond imagination.
