THE WORLDS OF THE TWIN
“I am the Twin. I watch over the Golden Omniverse.
Know, traveller, that the slightest decision shifts atoms like sand adrift in the breeze…
And each decision spawns new branches of cause and effect.
Energy fluctuates across the span of an electron and a universe is born.
Each set of outcomes that stem from an event are like the many branches of a coral reef, beautiful and awe-inspiring… Yet delicate and fragile, easily snuffed from existence.
These then are the worlds of the Twin.”
-introduction to the [[Pisces_All_Media?]] [[RPG?]] [[sourcebook?]] [[Shadow_Cabinet?]]
[[Pisces_All_Media?]] maintains an online list of all known active Worlds of the Twin [1].
Put simply, Worlds of the Twins are [[parallel_worlds?]], Earths (or other worlds focussed on) that diverge from a [[subjective?]] “normal” or “real” world. Very often this divergence is in terms of accepted history; occasionally the laws of nature themselves differ between the Worlds of the Twin. The Worlds of the Twin uses all of the [[tropes?]] of [[alternate_history?]] and similar [[fictional_universe?]] interpretations of the [[Many_Worlds?]] theory of [[quantum_physics?]].
In addition there are hundreds of other worlds that would definitely count as Worlds of the Twin but which [[copyright?]] prevents from being listed in the official tabulation. [[Earth-616?]] would be one obvious example.
Earth-1956 is a single World of the Twin, and home to the stories of the ALTAIR ongoing comicbook series.
