Each one having their own section of space to own, with Menphinas including the moon, Halones being the sixth heaven, etc.

We've got a myth where Midgardsormr was "created" by Althyk and Nymeia, and we've got a fact that he came from spaaaaaaaaaace. Something I've been pondering since the Astrologian lore gave us the various celestial gates actually...

So, before time, for fear of Zodiark, Hydaelyn spreads Her children (the Twelve) across the sea, splitting it into fourteen (the Twelve, Hydaelyn, Zodiark). At some point, Althyk and Nymeia collaborate to send Midgardsormr back to Hydaelyn. Why? Well, if the moon is part of Menphinas domain, and it's now a dead rock with a statue of Zodiark on it... Perhaps the Ascians didn't just go after Hydaelyn...

What's more, we've currently got six heavens, which combine an elements/Twelve Astral and Umbral versions... As if they've been joined... Given everything should have been split and given duality... One might say they underwent a... Rejoining...
