The Grand Fable

Underneath the Realm of Racedis, twisting through everything seen and touched, there is the deep story of all things. Rather than "physics" or "weave", there is the Grand Fable. It is the metaphysical current that runs through the world and carries with it many people and things. Nothing and nobody - no gods or beings of any power - controls the Fable, they may only try to stem some small part of its current in their favor.

Belief
Stories and belief have power in this realm. The more people believe in a thing, and the greater the fervency of that belief, the more truth and power there will be in that thing. The belief manifests as truth. A core belief among the people of Racedis is belief in the strength of the Towers; and because it is a nearly universal belief, the Towers are indeed strong. A great many people believe strongly in Anu as god of the forest, and so Anu has power - like all gods save one, Anu was a person that ascended to deity by the belief of many.

Even a story as simple as "there is a monster in the well" may gather some traction. A few people believe it... so perhaps someone else hears some noises. More believe the story... and a tentacle is spotted in the water below. The whole town ardently believes there is a monster in the well... and it bursts forth in the night, smashing windows and devouring livestock!
