The Black Room

The World Between Worlds. The Endless Emptiness. The Primordial Void. It goes by many names, but is colloquially known as The Black Room - a desolate, Aether-like plane devoid of practically any substance or matter. It exists mostly as dark nothingness, and very few organisms call it home. Its few inhabitants are primarily shadow-based creatures such as Ebon Ribbons. Despite its ominous names, most people who have entered the Black Room report an overwhelming sense of calm, and some have even willingly opened a Rift to the Black Room in order to meditate there.

Scholars postulate that the Black Room is a remnant of the primordial void that supposedly made up the universe before creation, while others hypothesize that it is in fact a portal to the universe as it was before creation, before even the archdeities begat themselves.
