The grass really is greener on the other side. From where we are, the view of Paradise is ideallac. I assume that you are like me if you are reading this, born of a parallel of the multiverse that is home to beings with a similar environment to the one in which I thrived. And no matter how full of life your home universe is, no matter the numbers of beings populating it with majestic forms both flora and fauna, nothing compares to Paradise that is a universe that seems to be the most lush and full version of the stable manifestation of a universe on the multiversal cluster. Everything is bigger, grander there. Planets and their suns are huge and give birth to strong life in what seems to be all the variations of beings that exist across the multiverse, as though Paradise is the epitome of all life in the multiverse. It is not a perfect plane of existence, there is still suffering, destruction, and death, it only seems to be the best the multiverse has to offer from our outside view.
The Earth of the Paradise universe is blanketed in a lush forest, including the vast oceans that are filled with massive, ancient trees with long roots big enough for people to build towns on top. Over land masses, humanity and other animal species live in the vast forests that cover the continents and they make their homes among the trunks and the canopy or on the floor of the forest that is completely devoid of light in places where the canopy is thickest. Humanity is not the dominant species of Paradise Earth, but humanity thrives and they have created a complex, global civilization in the trees that consists of a series of extensive tramway systems operated by people who organized and bartered for food and other goods in exchange for passage on the tram. Some created fully realized trading posts at either end of the tramlines, others hotels or restaurants. Humanity is much more kin to its ape cousins in this universe and though technology has evolved to the point where flying machines and vehicles for traveling over the forest floor existed, they were a rarity because humans prefer to swing from a complex system of ropes to reach far off locations when the tramways is unaffordable. The only currency on this Earth are practical goods, no other monetary system has evolved over the long history of this Earth.
Paradise Earth has been visited by beings from other planets and there is a permanent colony of beings known as the Ascendant who live on the continent of Antarctica. Little is known about these beings and why they settled on Earth, but some Earthlings speculate that the legendary Golem creature that stalks the dark places of the world-wide forest was somehow unleashed into the Earth by the Ascendant. Few humans have interacted directly with the Ascendant, but stories of past encounters are rampant. No human has set foot on the continent of Antarctica since the arrival of the Ascendant. They have a secret society that exists inside of a camouflaged dome that makes Antarctica appear uninhabited from the outside. Many humans say the Ascendant are a myth, but there is ample evidence of their presence, though only speculation what brought them to earth for the extensive time that they have lived on the planet.
The origins of the creature known as the Golem are mysterious, but records on Earth indicate that it first appeared in the aftermath of a violent crash of an alien spacecraft in the the south pole that caused worldwide quakes. Many believe that the Golem is one of these creatures that crash landed on Earth and managed to escape the south pole.
Crone, who is possibly the oldest living human on Earth, is also one of the most skilled practitioners of magic that many people recognize as a function of reality that can be wielded by elders and special practitioners. Crone operates a clandestine school for magic users that is located somewhere in the world-wide forest. Only users of magic, or those sensitive to it, can locate this school.
Only one human of Paradise Earth has ever left the planet. This human has yet to return to Earth. Only Crone is aware of this person and she is in constant contact with them, though she is not sure where exactly in the universe this person is located.
Paradise Earth is unlike any of the planets Earth that exist around the multiverse and it would be a wonder to an Earthling of the multiverse, a truly green forest unlike any they have ever laid eyes on.
