# HEARTWORLDS

The realm of one's own soul and the wellspring of their mana goes by many names. Heartrealms, Aetherworlds, Soul Spaces, the list goes on.

## Your heartworld

Your heartworld is completely unique to your character, and frequently reflects their identity and mental state in both overt and subtly symbolic ways. When describing the geography and structure of your heartworld, consider:
- What does your character think about themselves?
- What does your character imagine when they think of where they belong?
- How does your character view their power?
- What unconscious or conscious insecurities does your character currently suffer from?

## Accessing your heartworld

However, in some circumstances, one can pull their entire physical form into the heartworld: Aetherbornes can warp into their heartworld via their Dimensional Gate, and there are rare instances where those under extreme duress seem to gain a massive second wind, hypothesized to be a product of them slipping into their heartworld in between the cracks of time itself.
