How the body works
A Worldborn can have a huge physical body while other parts extend into cosmic currents or hidden layers of reality. This class tells us where the Beast is anchored, not what every part of its body is made from.

Worldborn
Born on, or permanently tied to, one planet.
One world · continental to orbital reachTwo separate labels · Size and kind
Worldborn tells you how far the Beast can reach.
The nine recognized orders answer a different question. This class tells you the Beast's scale. Its order tells you what kind of Great Beast it is.
How to read the class
Scale tells you reach, not species.
A Worldborn belongs to one planet. It may affect continents, weather, ecosystems, sacred places, or even the space around the world, but that planet remains the center of its life.
What contact changes
Meeting a Worldborn forces a civilization to accept that it may share its planet with a life-form large enough to shape the world itself.
Class and order answer different questions.
Class answers “how far can it reach?” Order answers “what kind of Beast is it?” The Codex keeps both labels so size never has to stand in for identity.
