World of NUM

NUM (which rhymes with "doom") is the world of the living, where mortals grapple with their fates and await their destinies. It is called NUM after the Numina, the gods that oversaw the birth of the world, and who eventually will see its end. NUM was the first word spoken by the first god, which breathed life into the world; some say that this word reverberates still, and when the last echoes of the first word fade, the world will fade as well.
