Spirit Realm

I built Harmura’s world around the Bagua, the eight trigrams of East Asian cosmology. This image is a glimpse of the Spirit Realm — a mirror of the living land where each region manifests the essence of one trigram. It’s my way of weaving nature, power, and culture together under one spiritual framework.

The Eight Trigrams:

☰ Heaven (Qian): Pure creative force, leadership, the unyielding sky. Symbolizes clarity and ambition — the rulers who command from above.

☷ Earth (Kun): Receptive, nurturing, the fertile ground. Represents community, harvest, and the quiet power that supports everything else.

☵ Water (Kan): Danger and depth — flowing yet hidden. Tied to secrets, emotion, adaptability, and the magic of persistence.

☲ Fire (Li): Brightness, clarity, passion. Symbolizes vision, transformation, and the raw force of destruction and renewal.

☶ Mountain (Gen): Stillness and stopping — boundaries, contemplation, protection. The Sanctum that guards knowledge and tradition.

☴ Wind/Wood (Xun): Gentle penetration, growth, spreading influence. Represents diplomacy, negotiation, and subtle power that shapes nations quietly.

☳ Thunder (Zhen): Arousing movement, sudden force. The spark that disrupts. It's revolution, rebellion, and shocking truths.

☷ Lake/Marsh (Dui): Joy and openness — gathering, pleasure, speech. Where people come together to celebrate or conspire.

Together these form the underlying skeleton of Harmura’s realms, and the Spirit Realm reflects them back: ever-shifting landscapes of firefields, hidden rivers, mountain walls, blooming marshes, and thunder plains.
