The Great Dark

The Great Dark is Melantha's Sphere. Bordering the Barrier separating this universe and whatever is out there, the Great Dark is the last Sphere one can feasibly travel to by conventional means, considering that the Barrier itself and the Core are inaccessible.Original character sheet - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4829878
As the name would suggest, the Great Dark is the manifestation of the concept of darkness in the real, physical world. Pitch black inside and outside, the Great Dark surrounds every other sphere, filling in the gaps between them, just like how darkness creeps up where there is no light. Most light sources, barring light from divine sources and/or light coming through from other Spheres, are absorbed by the sphere's borders. Liquid-like and easy to traverse, these borders are what separates the Great Dark from the rest of the universe. Should one enter or leave the sphere by passing through the borders, a disturbance in the fabric of the sphere is created, manifesting in the form of a series of ripples that permeate throughout its perimeter.
Concerning the interior of the sphere, there is a definite up, down, left and right, but no sense of gravity. This effectively means the only thing stopping someone from travelling to anywhere inside the Great Dark is their force of will, as the sphere's magic reacts to the thoughts of the person and "pushes" them towards their desired direction.
Littered inside the sphere are floating islands of different shapes and sizes. Crystalized from the very essence of the Great Dark, these landmasses house all sorts of ethereal flora and fauna that take the darkness as their permanent home. Among these islands, however, is one that surpasses all the others in all regards. This one is where the Mistress of the Night has made her home.
Situated at the top of the island's highest peak is Melantha's crowning jewel, her personal palace and abode, a gigantic ebony tower. Made from the same kind of material as the land that surrounds it, the tower naturally acts as the focal point of the sphere's energies.This piece of geography, although present in the original CS, is yet to be established in character.
