More worldbuilding flea-in-ear inspirations. This is the seed of a concept that may or may not go anywhere, drawing from a few scattered ideas i've had over time.
The image above is a rough sketch of what i have in mind, yet to be refined but hopefully provides a pretty good starting impression.
If i can figure out how, i would like to export a 3d model of this fractal and reconstruct this image as an explorable prototype in Godot.

The Apotheonic Garden, as it is known, is a land one among the infinities of a world turned in on itself. The tallest mountains mirror the shimmering sand beneath our feet, each divinely crafted, each whole and self-similar.
The Sun
A tooth of the Elder Dragon, cut into reality from beyond, eternally wreathed in searing-cold white light.
Vatra's Keel
A single gargantuan tree, source of all life in the Garden, ever growing upwards to the Sun but never able to reach it.
In forgotten times, it was believed the Keel grew out from a door to another world.
Kinhollow
Once a lonely settlement, Kinhollow has become a nexus of knowledge and trade, built within the intricate tunnel networks of the dappled hill opposite Vatra's Keel.
