The Registry — A Mythic Narrative Framework

The Registry

A Canonical Framework for a Shared Mythic Universe

This document does not tell stories.

It establishes the conditions under which stories are possible.

The Registry is the foundational framework governing The Axis, a modern mythic universe where gods, Exhumans, advanced technology, extraterrestrial forces, and sealed demonic entities coexist in open tension.

Rather than presenting lore or narrative, this document defines:

• Core philosophical principles
• Power systems and their limitations
• Canon boundaries (immutable, variable, and restricted)
• Rules for consequence, authority, and escalation
• Guidelines for licensed and non-licensed creative use

This universe is designed for creators interested in:

• Long-term narrative worlds
• Moral ambiguity and consequence-driven storytelling
• Public, visible power rather than hidden systems
• Mythic scale grounded in human choice and cost

What this is

• A canonical reference document
• A narrative and licensing framework
• An entry point into a larger living universe

What this is not

• A novel or short story
• A game or ruleset
• An open-canon or public-domain setting

Non-commercial use is permitted with attribution.

Commercial use, publication, or canon-defining work requires explicit permission from the Creator.

Additional materials (Atlas, Character Catalogue, and extended canon references) exist and are provided selectively through licensing or collaboration discussions.
