Universal Portal Report 1 - Rules of the Universe
By Zelenal
For us to better understand the Portal that recently appeared in the Pony Sanctuary, I feel it would be wise for me to first go over what defines a Universe. A Universe is an isolated section of space with its own laws, Gods, and purpose. One cannot travel to another Universe simply by flying out far enough into space. Instead, special means must be used to travel from one to another, such as magic, technology, or portals.
The most important thing that makes up a Universe is Purpose. Let's look at the Universe of Hyrule for example, as it is one we are all familiar with. The purpose of this Universe is to celebrate and explore the stories of the Ancient Hero, Link. Purpose drives the denizens of a Universe, it is its very own life and blood. Another way one could look at a Universe is as its own community, or as a more loaded term, fandom. Inside jokes, common themes, a like mindset, these are all things found within a Universe.
Next, let us look at the creation of a Universe. There are two types of Universes: Original and Offshoot. The Hyrule is an Original Universe, as it was created by one God long ago as an original idea. Hubris, on the other hand, is an Offshoot Universe of Hyrule. We started within Hyrule, slowly gaining our own identity, until we were unique enough to be called our own Universe. Thus, an Offshoot Universe was created. I will go deeper into the specifics of Universe Creation in my next set of notes on Gods.
This is the groundwork for our very existence.
If one has enough power, creativity, and will, they too may be able to create their own universe.
