## Conversions
### D&D 5e CR to Cypher System Level
[Comparing 5e Creatures to Cypher System](https://busywyvern.com/2023/01/16/comparing-5e-creatures-to-cypher-system/)
from Busy Wyvern looks at *Ptolus: Monte Cook's City by the Spire* (which has both 5e and Cypher System editions, and
both written in recent times) to come up with a general strategy to translate a D&D creature to the Cypher System. The
detail in the blog post is good --- basically, a detailed conversion doesn't matter because Cypher System isn't as
tactical as 5e, so just find the right level and apply the special abilities verbatim using the level as the target
number --- but it doesn't go one step further to create a rule of thumb on the actual CR-to-level conversion.
I eyeballed Busy Wyvern's results from *Ptolus* and came up with this equation: `CYPHER_L =
ceiling(2+(sqrt(5E_CR)*1.4))`. The results don't entirely match, but they're pretty close, and you could debate e.g. the
difference between a high level 9 and low level 10 until you're blue in the face.
The equation isn't quite easy enough to do mentally at the on the fly, so here's the results in table form (with special
consideration made for 1/2 and 1/4 CRs):
| 5e CR | CS Level | | 5e CR | CS Level | | 5e CR | CS Level | | 5e CR | CS Level |
|-------|----------|--|-------|----------|--|-------|----------|--|-------|----------|
| 1/4 | 2 | | 7 | 6 | | 15 | 8 | | 23 | 9 |
| 1/2 | 3 | | 8 | 6 | | 16 | 8 | | 24 | 9 |
| 1 | 4 | | 9 | 7 | | 17 | 8 | | 25 | 9 |
| 2 | 4 | | 10 | 7 | | 18 | 8 | | 26 | 10 |
| 3 | 5 | | 11 | 7 | | 19 | 9 | | 27 | 10 |
| 4 | 5 | | 12 | 7 | | 20 | 9 | | 28 | 10 |
| 5 | 6 | | 13 | 8 | | 21 | 9 | | 29 | 10 |

## Summary
## History
### Creation
In the beginning, The One Beyond created three goddesses out of the endless nothingness --- the twin sisters Nydia and
Dysthia, goddesses of Light and Darkness, and Etra, goddess of World. The twin sisters both coveted domain
over Etra, and waged a bitter war, bringing about the light of the stars and the darkness of the void, creating the
universe. As they sparred over eons, their wounds shed their essence and, merging with that of Etra's, created the
planes, including the material plane which is considered to be Etra herself. The war between the sisters also brought
forth countless more gods and goddesses --- darkness and light combining chaotically to produce divine concepts of Sun,
Moon, Life, Death, and so on --- countless immortal forces that govern the universe.
## Themes
* The universe is a wide assortment of planes, including forces of law/chaos, good/evil, and light/dark, connected via an
astral plane.
