Nether-Space

The Nether-Space is a void outside of the Merged Realms where the Forbidden Five are imprisoned. It can only be accessed by a ritual during the Blood Moon.
==History==
===Background===
Centuries ago, the Dragon Masters, Egalt and Rontu, devised a strategy to prevent the Forbidden Five from destroying the realms. They aimed to defeat them using the Rising Dragon technique. However, they were concerned that no prison within the realms, including the Departed Realm, could contain the Forbidden Five.https://twitter.com/otherland71/status/1779876954717741387 To address this, Gandalaria developed an advanced spell that the Dragon Masters used to exile the Forbidden Five to the Nether-Space."The Spell at the Waterfall"
===The Forest of Spirits===
The Forbidden Five heard the drums coming from the Ritual of the Blood Moon and Nokt remarked that they are being called home.
===Rising Ninja===
Through the use of Theroxian magic, Jordana was able to use Bonzle to open a portal from the Shadow Dojo to the Nether-Space. After the original sacrifices escaped with help from the ninja, Lord Ras threw his hammer at Kai, who had just performed Rising Dragon, kicking him in the portal. After Kai was sent to the Nether-Space, Forbidden Five member Nokt was able to escape. Eventually, Bonzle was able to fight off Jordana's magic, causing her to lose control and accidentally close the portal. When the gateway was closing, one of the Five attempted to crawl out, but the shrinking portal exploded into red sparks, absorbing into Jordana.
Later in the Nether-Space, Kai reunited with Bonzle, who had her physical form sent there. While the two attempted to find a way to escape, Kai commented that ninja never quit.
==Appearance==
The Nether-Space exists beyond the Merged Realms, and adopts a very geometric appearance. There are several small staircases, cubes, and rectangular prisms scattered about. Everything in the space seems to be made out of a type of stone, and parts of it have light layers of moss growing on it. Large pitfalls also exist that adopt the shape of rectangular prisms.
Gravity is inconsistent in the Nether-Space, allowing inhabitants to traverse on different sides of a room, including walls and ceilings.
The Nether-Space also adopts red lighting similar to that caused by the Blood Moon where the Forbidden Five inhabit it, though not where Kai first emerges within it.

==Trivia==
*The Nether-Space seems to have gravity differences from Ninjago as the Forbidden Five were in all types of different gravity directions.
**The gravity of the Nether-Space is similar to that of M.C. Escher's lithograph "Relativity."
*According to Chris "Doc" Wyatt, the Nether-Space maintains permanence in contrast to the Departed Realm due to instances of beings returning from the Departed Realm, while access to the Nether-Space is limited to the Ritual of the Blood Moon occurring every few millennia. After the banishment of the Forbidden Five, it became necessary of five individuals to serve as replacements for the Five during the Ritual of the Blood Moon."The Forest of Spirits"
*The Nether-Space was not affected by the Merge, as it is located outside the realms, much like the Grasslands.
