Virtual Worlds And Nested Realms

• Lutho Citizen: Don't worry, you are safe here. The Obelisk protects.

The Lutho Obelisk is an object of light. It is capable of creating small, alternate worlds, though the corporeal of those who enter remain in the original realm.

What is, Happy Lutho, though? Is it a whole entire new realm, or is it another world within our world?

In Point of No Return, the player is consumed by void and passes through a dark area to get to Happy Lutho. It's similar to void, and it could be. Nothingness; broken off from the rest of reality, it serves as a bridge to the miniature bubble world. When the player chooses to leave this alternate world, they must walk into a cave that leads into a portal surrounded by nothingness, by void. The player, however, must walk the length multiple times, constantly being pushed back.

"When the runes were combined ages ago, the Forgery burst from the ground. Sealed by its anchors is a mysterious fracture in space and time from which the structure draws its power." - Fracture in Reality

A fracture in space and time. The area shown in the secret discovery is most likely void. The message says, though, that void is not only a disturbance in space, but also in time. Could this be what is happening in PoNR? When the player is teleported back? When they walk through the void, are they walking through warped time, constantly being rewinded back?

Void is the empty space between realms. We pass through void to get to Happy Lutho. So, Happy Lutho must be a different realm. But why do the shells of people stay in the realm of Wynn? If people can be in multiple realms at once, does this mean there are copies of us in other realms, like the Nether?

We don't find copies of ourselves in the Realm of Light, though. So, perhaps Happy Lutho is different; it is a world within a world. What is it, though? And why are people safe in it?

The Light created Happy Lutho, apparently, as the Obelisk is what creates Happy Lutho and the Obelisk is touched by light. How did the Light do this though? Did it bend spacetime?

The Realm of Light has many features similar to that of our world. There are some similar creatures and plants. There is a giant stump, in RoL, and a giant stump is the gateway to RoL from Gavel. Is there more to this parallel of stumps, though? What if our world was an extension the Realm of Light? This would explain how realms popped out of the void. In the beginning, there was only Light and Dark, Orphion and Dern Beast, the Realm of Light and Dern. How were our realms created? They simply grew from Orphion.

So, we are a realm, nested in the Realm of Light. Inside of our realm, Happy Lutho is nested. Like a branching tree.

RoL > Wynn (the realm, I will just call our realm Wynn because it is WYNNcraft...) > Happy Lutho

Perhaps, Orphion and Dern Beast are still in that primordial void, clashing. A scratch on Orphion is the further spread of Decay in Gavel.

In One Thousand Meters Under, the void villagers' speech is stretched out, like time is warped. This makes sense, of course, as they are in the void.

• Celuuse: How we have lived for so long, I do not know. But one thing we know for sure. The void provides.

"The Obelisk protects." "The void provides."

These two phrases are pretty similar. The lifespan of the void villagers seem to have been prolonged; are they immortal?

Does the void make people immortal? Is it, perhaps, what created Orphion and Dern Beast? Did they grow because of their exposure to the void?

Back to Happy Lutho:

Happy Lutho is, well, what seems to be a happy place. While the Silent Expanse is warped by Dern, the miners of Lutho are safe. This raises the question: if the Light can transport people to the safety of other worlds, why don't they? Why not just create a clone of Gavel without the Decay and send everyone there? Why not just create a copy of Wynn without the corruption and send everyone in that alternate world?

Does the Light not care? Or, perhaps, we are the Light, and any struggle in RoL is reflected in our world, so hiding is of no use.

TL;DR We are in RoL, and Wynn and Gavel are just extensions of it.

 

huh this is interesting. i always thought happier lutho was some sort of shared dream or something, but that makes some sense as well

 

same kinda. I actually never thought of PonR as a journey through realms, but rather a journey through your own mind and a warped perception of what the world is truly like.

 

woah this is my new headcanon
