The World



The World in which the tales of Prince Henry take place in is much like our own, with the addition of an 8th continent. That continent is known as "Where". The entire continent of Where was once united under King Somebody, and thus gained the name, "SomeWhere" or more popularly known as simply "Somewhere". However, when King Somebody died, his two sons, Everyone and Anyone both claimed right to the Kingship, and split the empire in two. The continent of Where is now home to two empires: Everywhere-ruled over by king Everyone, and Anywhere-ruled over by King Anyone.

The Universe of Prince Henry is an odd one. In this universe, all points of history exist within the Medieval Time period. Therefore the past, present, and future exist at the same time everywhere. This allows some people to have a form of immortality, as when they die, their past self can just continue down a different path and survive. This has been the case many times with Prince Henry, as he has died hundreds of times. Others are not so good at using this system and remain dead permanently. All points of history and time existing in the medieval time period at the same time, means that someone can be in the year 1032 one minute, and 2017 the next minute. This allows everybody in the Prince Henry Universe to have a form of teleportation, as everything exists anywhere at once, they can theoretically go anywhere anytime. Much like manipulating death into immortality however, there is a certain level of skill involved in doing this, therefore many are unable to.

This broken timeline, logic, and physics system is too chaotic for the universe itself to handle. By existing everywhere at once, hundreds of thousands of paradoxes, anomalies, and inconsistencies occur every single second, and this amount of chaos and disorder is too much for a supposedly ordered system like the universe to be able to handle. Therefore, the universe is in pain in this condition. It is in such pain, that it tries to kill itself by creating an acolyte of destruction who's destiny it is, unbeknownst to them, to destroy the universe and end its pain. There are groups who attempt to prevent this event, one such is the Knight Templar who are largely responsible for the universe existing this far. The most recent suspected acolyte is Prince Henry, though whether he truly is an acolyte is unknown.
