Arrgoh’.
A pair of islands acted as settings for homebrew Pathfinder campaigns. Everything else in the world was hypothetical.

Divine & Fae integrated.
“Divine” and “Fae” are set as expressions of “Polarity” for all of reality. (Divine power pushes outward to influence. Fae draws inward to influence.)

Specifics are currently being nailed down as the writing progresses.

Eldretch and Esoeldric.
Etymology for Gods of Order and Creatures of Chaos (Divine vs. Arcane) was loosely decided, but proves too obscure for common use.

True Dragons were set as near equals and eternal rivals to Divine Creatures (including gods).

Arcane Wellsprings.
The various forms of matter, energy and magic between them were reimagined in relation to four fundamental forces of the universe: “Aura,” “Life,” “Vitality” and “Force.”

Body Centers.

The Four Arcane Wellsprings and the elements between them were connected to the Body Centers of Head (Aura), Heart (Life), Gut (Vitality) and Spirit (Force).

Each element was also imagined according to an important center of human body processes (WIP).
x. x. x. 2

Pyramid of Elements.

Many attempts at diagramming magic settled into a four-pointed figure which corresponded to Arcane Wellsprings and the elements between them.

The 6 Lines between elements were set in conjunction with the 6 traditional ability scores of D&D and Pathfinder, with 2 elements per ability.

Ethereal vs. Primordial.

Early conceptions of “The Elements” split them into “Primordial” elements (like Earth or Fire) and Ethereal
