SWE

SWE, named to fit alongside SWS except with the last letter standing for 'Elements', recently backformed to Selected World 'E', is one of the three major Selected Worlds. It is distinguished by its absurdist elemental system, abstract geometry, and worldbuilding elements which parody video games, especially fantasy RPGs.

Cosmology
The world resembles some sort of large globe, on the inside surface of which is the land, and in the center of which is the combined sun-moon, which rotates. What is beyond the boundary of the globe is unknown.

Elements
The physics system of SWE is created by the interrelations of a series of fundamental things called 'elements'. This system will be documented in detail in future, but for now here is an overview of the individual units of the system:

- Water: The element of change, forming a great part of the world in the form of 'bodies of water', and the element responsible for precipitation.

- Lithium: The element of stability and foundations, making up most of the world's matter.

- Lye: The element of chaos and destruction, found in pure form in massive tendrils underground.

- Dashpot: The element which governs movement and is responsible for shaping the land. Is intangible in pure form, and lies over landmasses in large sheets.

- Surprise: The element of violence, danger, and unexpected things.

- Style: The element of beauty and value.

- Cream: The element of cream.

- Tea: The element in common between food and piss; all living things are on some level machines which gain energy by extracting the tea element from food and excreting it.

- Worms: The element from which life is fashioned.
