Sacred Naturalism
Sacred Naturalism (also known as Cosmic Naturalism) is the absolute brain-melting metaphysical foundation of the Abzuverse that completely kicks standard fantasy clichés out the window. It replaces lazy supernatural hand-waving—where gods and magic randomly break the laws of physics whenever the plot needs a cheap shortcut—with a strict, hard-hitting worldbuilding axiom: "No supernatural, all natural."
Under this framework, divinity operates as an expression of nature's foundational infrastructure rather than a violation of physical laws. Deities are conscious macro-frequencies stabilizing thermodynamic and ecological processes, meaning moral infractions function like chemical pollution that mechanically degrades the cosmic system.

"So, when the mortal insulted the sky deity, he didn't get struck by a magical bolt of divine wrath?"
"Nah, man, this universe runs on Sacred Naturalism. His negative actions literally polluted the local atmospheric biome, triggering a mechanical thermodynamic feedback loop that curdled the surrounding physics."
