Realm; Kether Of The Crown

THE CROWN
KETHER

Kether appears as a giant stairway heading into a blinding light. No matter how many times you try, if you struggle with the stairs, you cannot climb them. Some ascend with no effort... And don't return...

At the base of the stairs is a small, unremarkable outcrop of rocks and pleasant trees & grass. Or a white room, with unremarkable furniture, with a remarkable floor pattern.
It is both.
The Concepts Hope, Magic & Tradition live here,  playing chess & cards or talking quietly. Hope appears as a chipper, androgynous Winged in white & gold. Magic is a larger, bald Dreamer in a suit, and Tradition a lizardine Winged in many coloured plumage, usually crying in the corner.

Occasionally, they get memos from Upstairs.

Kether is a mystery.
It is impossible to understand it... Or is it?

* What It Represents
"Keter is so sublime, it is called in the Zohar "the most hidden of all hidden things", and is completely incomprehensible to man."

"The first Sephirah is called the Crown, since a crown is worn above the head. The Crown therefore refers to things that are above the mind's abilities of comprehension. All of the other Sephirot are likened to the body which starts with the head and wends its way down into action. But the crown of a king lies above the head and connects the concept of "monarchy", which is abstract and intangible, with the tangible and concrete head of the king."

Kether is the Crown, the final Realm to be understood. It sits on its own, away from the mass of the Realms.

* Costume
There is no costume associated with those tied to Kether. Mysterious, considering the other Realms...

* Choices for Character Creation
Those chosen by Kether are gifted with an understanding of elsewhere, gifted with a Brief of another Realm...

...or are touched by creation, able to Sing and gifted with a Song...

...or can ponder secrets, able to meditate for answers.
