Mortal Realm: Where Realms Collide

As one may be aware, there are a wide variety of realms present and not all are accessible by everyone. Mortals, or humans for example, are solely limited to the Mortal Realm. Unlike witches who can travel between realms freely, as long as they're powerful and skilled enough to do so. Yet, they always appear to return to this one particular realm. What makes it so special that supernatural folks and creatures keep coming back?

A Melting Pot

While there are a wide variety of realms-- from Hell, to Heaven, to the Otherworld and even a dimension solely for witch kind, the Mortal Realm appears to be the place where species from all of the before mentioned, come together. While it may not be the home base for all of them, there is something about the realm that keeps pulling them in. Whether it's witch kind summoning them or of their own volition. To say the Mortal Realm is a melting pot of a whole lot of different creatures, would be nothing short of an understatement.

Why Is It Popular?

That is a question you might end up asking yourself. For witch kind as well as the humans, it is their home. Other supernatural creatures, such as vampires, werewolves and ghosts it is too. All walking the streets in broad daylight and co-existing. Perhaps not peacefully, but without too many incidents nonetheless. Satanic witches in particular, are drawn to Greendale in the Mortal Realm, due to this being the landing place of the Devil. Meaning this is where their powers (besides Hell itself) are at its strongest.

However, creatures from other dimensions might not have such an obvious reason to visit the Mortal Realm. Let alone to make it their 'permanent' residence. For demons who need their fill of the negative human emotions, it makes sense they frequent the realm to influence things and have a 'fun' time with the mortals. Opposite of this, the angels might peek in every once in a while to meddle with the state of things to undo the damage demons might've caused. Unfortunately however, they also consider witches to be blemishes on their Father's creation.

Connection To the Otherworld

The much more illusive Otherworld is perhaps one whose connection to the Mortal Realm is far less discussed. This due to its inhabitants making contact with our realm a lot less frequent. It's a realm where time and space doesn't work as it does in many others. A day spent there may be equal to a year in the Mortal Realm one time, then the next time, it could be hundreds of years.

At the same time, it's a mirror image of the Mortal Realm as it was several hundreds of years ago. Dominated by the deities some covens across the globe worship. While they may not show themselves in our realm often, its not entirely unheard of. From changelings to them trying to manipulate the way someone's life plays out, they have a knack for influencing the way big events unfold.

The Other Realm

Not to be mistaken with the Otherworld, the Other Realm is perhaps the most closely related to the Mortal Realm. This realm is a safe haven for those of the magical community. This includes not just witches, but some supernatural and mystical beings as well.

Many witch families have a portal to this plane of existence around their house, but these portals aren't exactly fool proof and have a tendency to transport just about anyone who stumbles into it. Which obviously includes mortals, causing quite the issues. As for the world itself, it's mostly the same as the Mortal realm with seasons and astronomical cycles, but defied many laws of nature and physics. Makes sense if you have magic, am I right?

Hell - Mortal Limbo - Heaven

Upon death in the Mortal Realm, it's safe to say there's a multitude of options when it comes to the next plane of existence. Some choose to linger around for a while longer and remain on Earth as spirits. Others will move on to whatever afterlife they believed in. Which most commonly ends up being either Hell or Heaven-- depending on how one lived their lives and personal preference. There's a third however and that's Mortal Limbo.

This realm is solely accessible by mortals, as the name suggests. However, those that are half mortal can access it as well. It's a place where the souls of people go that have died before their time. These souls are often times considered lost and may fall victim to the soul eater that lives there. Knowing there's a Mortal Limbo, would there be a Witch Limbo too? Certainly something to look into!
