Known Cores:

Felix: Solar system style. Dual core of Cardinal Fiend (red-gold) and Fiendforge (blue-white) two donut discs that rotate opposite of each other as the 'sun' of the core space. Skills are seen as complex planets orbiting the core. The Divine tree of the consumed spark of Vellus rises from the bottom of the space, through the hole in the spinning cores. The pit of the Beast sits at the bottom, housing the devoured, transformed essence of the Maw that felix purged of her essence. It is an individual creature that is the Cardinal Beast.

Evie: Ice Palace. Core is a sculpture of her sister, Magda. Her skills are sculptures around her sister, linked by icy chains.

Vessilia: Mountain range. Core is a dragon temple at the highest peak. Skills are at each lower mountaintop.

Atar: A lava palace. The Undying Flame, a former Cthinic Urge, is his 'beast' and source of power. Core is a tall lava pillar. skills are scattered, smaller pillars.

Alister: A clockwork steampunk force-mana multi-tiered factory. Core is a massive metal iris that opens and closes depending on how much force mana he uses. Skills are bundles of gears and levers scattered throughout the factory.

A comet laden with monstrosities and Blackfire. It devours Significance, the building blocks of the planet of Shimtall, upon which resides the Continent, the single landmass on its surface, surrounded on the west by the acid sea, and on the east by saltwater.
It was destroyed by Felix, who used his Core Manifestation, the Cardinal Beast to stop it along with his friends, using the significance gathered from all the Seats and Seals claimed in the North. Unfortunately, the Ruin destroyed much of the North. He also killed Ocala Marzuül, the Heirophant, worshipper of the Pathless, during the battle of Ruin.

The Heirocracy is no more, her paladins and acolytes scattered or dead.

The gods (former mortals who rose to power)
The Pathless - god of light (killed by his fellow gods)
Siva - goddess of oaths (killed by Felix)
Noctis - goddess of night (killed by Ocala Marzuül)
Yarrow - god of decay and rot (imprisoned on his living moon)
Avett - god of fate and destiny (imprisoned in his living moon but is partially free. Is the only god that did not collude with his brethren, and actually despises them)
