🌌 What Are the Eight Thousand Worlds? (World Concept)
The Eight Thousand Worlds represent a vast cosmological structure in which countless worlds overlap.
It is an “all-existence domain” that contains gods, spirits, humans, and otherworldly beings.
Its themes match RimWorld’s multi-world setting well, and this mod incorporates it as an original concept inspired by Japanese mythology.
🏮 Main Additions
■ Faction: Tenebris Filii
A group formed by those once called demons or yokai who assimilated into human society.
They are similar in concept to the Japanese version of “Sanguophages,”
using unique genes and original weapons (TBF series), and all members have red eyes.
• Adjusted to a weaker, more controlled power level than the original
• No raids for the first 120 days

An ultratech faction engineered to oppose the Tenebris Filii.
They claim descent from the Yatagarasu, the divine three-legged crow that guided Emperor Jimmu,
and act to maintain order across the world.

🛠️ From the Author
Since I cannot code in C# or draw, some parts may be rough,
but if you feel like it, please give it a try.
I would really like to create apparel as well, but I currently cannot draw the illustrations myself (using AI generation for now), so they are not implemented.
If anyone who can draw is interested in helping, please feel free to reach out.
