You See that Map! That's a distinguishing feature! That's indeed the Erde I was talking about! Visiting it now! In fact I'm on their internet! And I can access this site over it! It's 3112CEA here or 8211AD OMG those Time measurements count from Seventh's creation! That's hilarious! And they are off by 6 years! I guess the whole reason I was picked to access this site from the probably uncountable infinity universes that exist is that I've been there!

Did a quick bit of research for reference purposes. People describing my world and its subworlds as a whole frequently refer to it as the "World of Darkness", a term which apparently dates back to some sorcerous idea about a shadow generated by consciousness that connects all possible worlds, and which has been co-opted by subsequent writers since antiquity. My world seems to be an Earth, that matches the 'standard' description here; the year is 2012 CE, I recognize the places listed as existing, don't recognize the places listed as fictional, and so far as 'everyone knows', there isn't any magic or aliens or whatever. The map is essentially accurate. That said, there is in fact magic in this world, which is actually called magic. I don't personally use it, or have especially reliable information about it, but it is known to exist, and there are known to be multiple competing organizations of magic-users around. There are also various other metanormal effects that are not magic; I, for instance, use Mania, which is a power best described as 'mad science'.

Okay, I've decided to call my world Eventide. It contains an Earth. There's other worlds with people on them, and other universes alot like ours, but with small differences. We don't normally see them unless weird things are going on. There's many strange things in my world, and some of them probably count as magic. Time is weird, but I think the overall consensus is it's early in 2015 AD? It's hard to be sure.

I do not know what to call my domain. I suppose it has magic by many reasonable definitions. It does not contain an Earth.

It's a little weird for me to refer to Sanctum as a world in itself, since we usually think of it as a crossroads between worlds. I suppose it does occupy its own localized demiplane, though, so it probably counts. It's... well, "balls-to-the-wall magical" is the expression that immediately comes to mind to describe the prevalence of arcane forces here. It gets a little bit ridiculous at times.
... I just had a drunk-ass imp come flying through my window in a top hat and a leprechaun suit. Scratch that, it's ridiculous ALL the time.
Distractions aside, there's no "Earth" here, though it's possible that we're connected to a version of it by portal. The flow of time can get a bit wonky what with all the extra planar connections, but at the moment we're at 379 CORE Standard.

You are the keeper of your domain. It is accurate to say that it is the kept. I do not know if that will do as a name, but it is an observation.

That is a good name.
I do not keep a calendar, although I could if I chose.

If i'm supposed to talk about my world here, it doesn't have any magic at all, I don't think, and it has an Earth but I don't live there, and it's 2564. It doesn't have a name, and it would be silly for Nixo to be the planet and the whole world too, but my favorite place is the nest, so i want to call it Nest, can I do that?

I don't see why not. We might end up changing it if someone else from your world comes on here and complains, but that's never happened so far.

I'm not sure yet what to call the space the D.S.S. Souleye travels through, since it appears that most people capable of travelling between worlds do not travel through this space, but we have an Earth in our home dimension, and the other two dimensions we have encountered so far are Dimension VVVVVV and the pocket dimension of the D.S.S. Souleye itself.

Can you name your home dimension for convenience, Captain Viridian?

World, does not contain Earth, year 2137, has magic -conjuration, -glazing.
I am unsure what makes world-names good. Is Glass? Or too generic, simple, not good enough. If not good enough, sorry, never, but any suggestions?

"Glass" is a little generic, but how about "Glazed"? Since I think glazing is the most unique kind of magic you have. (In my world we have glass but it isn't made by magic and has no special properties like upside-down weight.)

Glazed, yes! Name, more specific, referent, good -> gratitude, happiness! Glass, can be made without magic, with heat, but weight before and after both downward. Without glazing, all glass nonmagical properties, yes?

"Without glazing, all glass nonmagical properties, yes?"
Yes, I think so.
