Empyrean World and Lore
Welcome to the one stop shop for all lore and world information related to the world of Empyrean, the world where all souls-between characters exist! This page is a hub of information to help aid players in their understanding of the canon world, and should serve as a foundation for canonical stories and characters within.
Players are encouraged to use the world lore if they choose, but this is not a rule. The information here can inspire and inform personal lore, or players can reach beyond what they find here and make their own. In the end, your characters are your own and you may do with them as you wish. For events and canon submissions to the site (such as events, rites, trials, etc), we ask that players follow the world lore, setting, and boundaries.
Dragons of Empyrean
This page hosts a veritable trove of information regarding the dragons of empyrean, the subtypes, their social and physical behaviors, and lore regarding everything dragon! This is a good place to begin your journey into Souls Between lore.

Game NPCs
Like Many games, Souls Between has various NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) that appear throughout the stories and world at various times. Learning about them can deepen your understanding of the lore, and provide for a fun read!
Bonding and Magic
A large part of the Souls Between lore and world is the bond between Dragons and humans, and conversely between dragons as well. This influences magic both beings can wield, as well as shapes the course of history for many! Learn about how this affects a human or a dragon here, and to what lengths your characters can go to with this.
The Library
The Library is an invaluable resource that allows a player to read direct entries about the world, relive past events through retellings, or read stories from various authors. Comprised of both known volumes and books, and player discovered information, The Library is a seat of great knowledge for a player looking to dive even deeper.
The Aether Guard
A faction in Empyrean that actively defends and protects the people of the world from corruption and Aemons. Characters can be a part of The Aether Guard, and their activities and choices often dictate the state of the world!
The Aetherial Academy
A prestigous academy that trains every generation of dragon rider and mage within the Radiant Kingdom. Outsiders are more than welcome as well, and if someone is looking to learn more about their magic, or find a dragon to bond with while learning, this is the place for them! Oftentimes their decisions and alliances shape the state of the world.
