Tortus

Tortus (トータス, Tōtasu^?) is a world that is among one of nine alternate realities branching off of a root world True World Astral. It is the main setting for the both the Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest and the spin-off series Arifureta Zero.

Its original guardian was Uralt of the Grand Tree. For many millennia, the inhabitants of Tortus were used as pawns in a war created by its self-styled god Ehit as a means of entertainment. The ancient war caused by The Enlightened permanently changed the original topography since.

Throughout its many millennia of history, Tortus has had multiple nations and were ruled by many different races. Overtime, each of them would rise and fall at the influence of Ehit and their servile gods that each race worshipped.

By the time the heroes of Earth were summoned by Ehit, Tortus is occupied by three major races: humans, demons, and beastmen. The humans reside and rule the northern half of the continent, while the demons reside and rule the southern half. The beastmen reside in the far east in a massive forest known as the Sea of Trees.

Tortus is also occupied by various monsters.

Trivia

• Tortus may be based on Aselia from the Tales role-playing game series. Both worlds have experienced repeated cycles of the creation and devastation of various civilizations throughout their respective histories. This heavily correlates with the Indian philosophy of "Saṃsāra", the repeating cycle of birth, life, and death (reincarnation), as well as one's actions and consequences in the past, present, and future.
• The age of adulthood in Tortus is 15 years old.
• It never snows on Tortus's northern continent.
• The days in Tortus's calendar are named "Lip, Dahlia, Marrite, Culus, Mellia, Chamile, Ryllis, Lalac, Fron, Vanella, Neria, Aster and Rubia".
• Among the holidays celebrated in Tortus included Ehit's birthday (allegedly), and Fris Day, in which people would confess to their crushes (it was called Fris Day because of the abundance of white fris flowers).
• Tortus's moon is much larger than Earth's. But due to other factors, the gravity of Tortus is the same as Earth's.
