The primary Jain-inspired core lorebook within the Abzuverse, functioning as the Jain cosmological analogue to the original Abzu & Anki framework and providing the setting with an mathematically rigid dual architecture.
Instead of reducing ancient
Indian models of space to unscientific folklore, this core setting unifies the lore through a strict, absolute geometrical boundary. Alokākāśa is the primordial Abyss—the infinite, unmanifested "Outer Space" or
non-
world of pure emptiness where nothing exists except space itself. Lokākāśa is the complete created cosmos contained within it. Conceived as the "Inhabited
Universe," Lokākāśa physically exists as a brilliant, highly structured
bubble of matter, light, and life floating as a
single cosmic organism inside the endless, empty void of Alokākāśa.
This lorebook completely dismantles modern
pop-culture tropes by treating the entities of the cosmos (Jinas, Tīrthaṅkaras, and Siddhas) with absolute civilizational dignity. Rather than operating as standard magical rulers, they are humanized as supreme, fully realized consciousnesses who have mastered the mathematical constraints of the
universe. Lokākāśa is mapped out as an immense cosmic entity (Urdhva, Madhya, and Adho Loka), populated by highly organized civilizations of celestial beings,
humans, and chthonic layers running on an absolute, eternal macro-economy.
“I'm so glad Alokākāśa & Lokākāśa exists; it stops treating ancient
Indian space-maps like primitive fables and finally gives Jain cosmology a rigorous,
high-concept civilizational dignity.”
“The absolute structural contrast between the inhabited Lokākāśa and the infinite
void of Alokākāśa provides a beautifully exact architectural grid for the entire setting.”
