Realm

In the Shingle Springs' Universe, a Realm is an infinitely expansive area of space. There are many Realms in the Shingle Springs' Universe; all different and diverse in their own way.

Realms can contain all manners of matter, most often a Realm will contain a large number of Galaxies, containing Star Systems, which in turn contain near-infinite number of planets and stars. However Realms can consist of only a few planets and sometimes even just energy.

All Realms in a Verse contain an energy connection between them, this energy connection is called an Ethereal Tunnel and is the supporting structure of a Verse.

History
The MegaVerses, Verses and Realms of The Shingle Springs' Universe were forged before time by the Enlightened Conscious. Creating a number of MegaVerses, the Enlightened Conscious then filled these MegaVerses with Verses and the Verses with Realms, joining all with Ethereal Tunnels.

Upon creating the Realms, The Enlightened Conscious created the Elements as hands of their creation. The Elements, in turn, travelled the infinite Realms and forged Galaxies full of Stars and Planets.

Upon completion of their task, The Elements had filled a countless number of Realms with the seeds of life, and so The Enlightened Conscious waited and observed as it's children grew and evolved.
