Glossary
SHARD One timeline in a world. Eorzea is special, for having multiple Shards existing at once, even if it's due to Ascian and Hyadalyn influence.
WORLD A collection of Shards is known as a world. It takes even stronger magic or skill to go though them. It’s said that Eorzea once had their entire world end, when Dalamud fell, only for it to be revived. This is one reason that Eorzea is special.
If a World dies, it’s said the souls from it can reawaken in another world, though only in scattered and amnesiac ways. It’s rare that somebody from another world survives, but if they do, they would continue to follow the logic of their world, not the world they go to.
MIRROR SHARD Every world has a mirrored version of it – a reflection, often altered by simple methods. The world where CUTIE takes place is the Mirror Shard of the Source/canon world. Unlike canon, this world is the world of Zodiark. (However, Hyadalyn is still seen as their god.)
Usually, Mirror Shards... well, mirror their worlds, with only small changes. But small changes can bring large ones in the future.
VOID Void – the element – is basically darkness. But Dark is not Evil – it is a force which tries to consume Light, but that is to keep it stable.
LIGHT Light is not good. Beings of Light are suspectible to their bodies and minds fading to only Light, if they cannot consume void. Plus, well, Albin.
NULL Though otherworldly forces, Null – as it’s been nicknamed IC-ly – is the lack of both Light and Darkness within a being. A being who’s been infected or struck by Null holds no emotion, and barely a form. However, this force has also destroyed worlds.
(Unknown in-character is that Null is simply the Will of The Emperor – destroying all of a characters’ will except the will to fight forever, in everlasting war. No longer in control of the spread, Emperor Mateus is still rather proud of what it’s done. It can also be recovered from... but it takes a lot.)
CYCLE A cycle is a period of time – or timelines – where a character lives, does their story, and dies. Not every character is aware of these loops in their stories, but it is what happens for every canon character. OC, however, tend not to Cycle – for they are custom characters.
Some characters – see, Miscarlet – go though their cycles with memories of the last ones. The Cycles of the Dissidia games are connected to this – they are similar Cycles.
012ers A group of six legendary warriors – Kain, Tifa, Laguna, Yuna, Vaan and Lightning – who are said to have given up the chance to go home to defend their allies from crystal monsters. They’ve become disconnected and can travel though not only Shards, but though Worlds.
It’s said there used to be a seventh, but she – Prishe – vanished when the 11th Mirror fell to Null.
