Level 207

==Description==
Level 207 is a complete collection of every current burial site from the frontrooms. The land area is about 54,500 km2 and consists of cemeteries, graveyards, mausoleums, crematoriums with columbarium walls, and catacombs. Beyond this expanse is ocean. Each section of level 207 has a known counterpart from the backrooms. Some examples of these burial sites are Xoxocotlan in Oaxaca, Mexico, Père Lachaise in Paris, France, Aoyama Cemetery in Tokyo, Japan, Waverley Cemetery in Sydney, Australia, Catacombs of Kom al Shoqafa in Alexandria, Egypt, and the Catacombs of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. Each burial site seamlessly connects to each other and will reflect the current weather and temperature of the current site from the frontrooms.
Every monument, though identical in shape and size, will never contain the names of any person nor reference the person the stone or monument was intended for. The wording on these stones will instead reference a different level in the backrooms. This reference can be a word or phrase that relates to a certain level, they can also simply have a backrooms level number. These clues will usually be vague and be personal to the knowledge of the wanderer. The markings on these stones will be different for each person looking at them. If two people are looking at the same stone at the same time, the words will appear different, per individual. 
These markings will also change from time to time for each person. A wanderer could be looking at a monument in the cemetery from New Orleans and the marking will read "Ripples with no Source". That wanderer may then venture to a nearby cemetery and return to "New Orleans" only to find their previous stone now reads "Raindrops and Red Pages".
There is a method to the orientation of this level. Similar regions connect together. As an example, burial sites from India will be next to other sites from India. Common landmarks from these burial sites will also appear in The Global Interment. Lakes, ponds streams and rivers flow with almond water. Mountains will be the same height. If these sites have a church, so will level 207. Catacombs will usually have an entrance inside a church or in the middle of another known cemetery. These will not take any space above ground in addition to their entrance. Trees and flowers will also be present corelating with the frontrooms. 
Often, organized burial sites such as cemeteries and graveyards will have toolsheds, admin offices, and churches. These buildings will usually be empty with the exception of paper record books and a few tools. Shovels will always be found in utility buildings and record books always appear blank. Rarely coffee or snacks can be found in an admin office as well as a rare bottle of wine in some churches. 
The Mourning EffectSome wanderers that have been in the backrooms for a long time are missed by their loved ones from the frontrooms. Many presume their wanderer to be deceased. For those wanderers it is speculated that they have their own monuments in the frontrooms. As they find the burial site close to their former home, wanderers will find a monument that fills their mind with sadness, like the feeling of mourning or great loss. These stones will usually have comforting words written on them such as "You Were Loved" or "You May Rest". As the monuments do not have any information on to who may be laid to rest, it is only speculated to be that, belonging to the wanderer.
Notable Locations
Aside from The Global Interment being home to every burial site in the frontrooms, there are a few surprising, notable locations that might seems anomalist or at the very least, a point of interest.
Though there are dangers present in The Global Interment, many wanderers find enjoyment from site seeing and experiencing these spooky sites present in level 207. 
The Great Pyramids:
Neptune Memorial Reef:
The Great Wall of China:
Mount Crni Vrh:
The Fields of Verdun:
Open Fields:
These are technically monuments for the dead and act as such. The architecture and design are identical to the pyramids from the frontrooms, though the insides are known to have entities consistently present. It is advised to take caution when entering the pyramids.
A cemetery found 12m underwater in the ocean off the western coast of level 207. Each monument is reminiscent of marine life found in the frontrooms and are artistically oriented to look like the lost city of Atlantis.
Straight through the middle of the Chinese burial sites runs this giant wall. It seems to serve no purpose other than to be a barrier.
A mountain found in the middle of the European section of level 207. It doesn't have any monuments and seems to be a normal mountain.
Also situated in the European section of level 207 houses a single, large monument.
Seemingly uncharacteristic of The Global Interment, there is about 10,000sqkm of open fields or groves found, scattered throughout the level.
Crematoriums
Crematoriums:
These buildings have complete facilities including full functioning furnaces for cremation. Crematoriums will often have columbarium walls containing urns. These urns are always filled with ashes. Placing one's hand into the ashes of one of these urns will initiate the weaving projection event for the wanderer. If a wanderer chooses to enter a furnace (including furnaces not yet active) the door of the furnace will close behind the wanderer and the furnace will activate.
 
Furnace Activation:This event is graphic in nature, readers be advised. Upon entering a furnace, the door closes, and the furnace activates. A fire ignites and grows. Fire consumes the victim and burns them alive with intense heat. The victim remains conscious during this event as they feel the intense burn of the entire cremation process. The cremation process lasts about 4.5 hours and temperatures will reach about 1000C. During this process, the wanderer's body breaks down into carbonic ash. Once the wanderer is fully cremated, they will continue to retain their consciousness. They will then be transported to level 207's sub area known as The Firmament.
The Weaving Projection Event:
This event is triggered when a wanderer places their hands in the ashes of an urn. The wanderer enters into a trance state and their conscience enters this level's sub area: The Firmament. Here the wanderer floats in the void-like space of The Firmament and are unable to move their bodies except their hands. The wanderer can, however, see and hear. It is possible that the wanderer might hear the voices of The Dusted or see their glowing particles. This will not always happen. If this does happen a wanderer may choose to move their hands around these particles in a motion as though they are weaving. Doing so will collect the particles into a single mass and will begin to take the shape of a human. This motion must be continuous for an uncertain amount of time as the particles will try to dissipate as you collect them. If you can complete the weaving, the humanoid shaped mass will flash in a burst of light and then vanish. Wanderers have noted to experience a strong rush of endorphins causing a full euphoric release.
The Firmament 
==The Firmament ==
The Firmament is a sub area of Level 207. This area is speculated to located directly above level 207, just outside the atmosphere. Wanderers can only exist in 2 forms on this sub area. Vision is limited, thus the relative location to level 207 is just speculation. The wanderer can see stars and cosmic gases painting the firmament in dark purples, blues and yellows. It is said to be beautiful; it's as though it was crafted from a grand, dietic creator. The level spans the cosmos, and the size is, therefore, undetermined. Gravity is only felt by the pull of "The Middle" and the "The Hand".
The Middle is a black hole with the event horizon that is close enough to feel the gravitational effects. Wanderers consider this as "the middle" because their focus is drawn to this point. It is the main visual feature close enough to note. The black hole seems to be the size of a planet, particularly Jupiter. Though there is no light inside the black hole, an orange disc event horizon can be seen orbiting the cosmic structure. The Middle is thought to be a portal to Level -899 but this has not been verified as wanderers that have entered into this anomaly have never been heard from or seen again.Wanderers can appear in level 207.1 in two forms: The Dusted or The Hand. Both are humans existing in an altered state. 
* The Dusted: Those that were unfortunate enough to be burned alive by a furnace in level 207 will exist as an orange, glowing, cosmic dust. They have full consciousness but feel no pain. They are scattered and unorganized. The particles continually drift apart. Wanderers who experience the state of The Dusted can see 2 images in their mind:
#"The Middle" is a black hole constantly pulling at them, as though it is beckoning to them. If the wanderer has lost all hope and the will to continue on, they will start to drift towards the black hole.
#The Hand is a bluish, spectral hand, also beckoning to them. If they feel hope and the desire to live, they will drift towards The Hand.
Time feels irrelevant to The Dusted as they only exist; they do not die. A dusted individual, if they so choose, can drift for an eternity. This does, however, take will power in order to stay mentally and emotionally neutral. Most wanderers will either drift towards The Hand or The Middle.
* The Hand: A wanderer that dips their hand in an urn in level 207 will experience The Weaving Projection Event. They appear as a spectral hand, but they can see the firmament in full color. They can also see the black hole and the cosmic dust of The Dusted.
==Entities found in The Firmament ==
There are no entities in this sub area of level 207.
==Exiting The Firmament==
* Exiting The Firmament for trapped wanderers must involve both The Dusted and The Hand. The Dusted must feel hope and the will to live. They will gravitate towards The Hand rather than The Middle. The Hand may weave The Dusted into a single mass. After an uncertain, continuous amount of time, The Dusted will take on a humanoid shape and vanish into a burst of light. The wanderer will then find themselves inside a coffin back in the main area of level 207. It is said that the wanderer spawns in gravesite close to their home equivalent burial site and will experience a mourning effect.
* The Dusted wanderers that enter The Middle are potentially transported as dust to level -899. This is just a theory.
* Those experiencing The Firmament as The Hand may simply remove their hand, at will, from the urn they placed it in. 
==Entities==
*Shadow Nightmares: These entities are solid black figures that seems to appear and disappear out of the corner of your eyes. They have a special effect that will lower the sanity of a wanderer. They will not attack a wanderer until their sanity drops to abysmal levels.
*Smilers: These entities are found in old, dark churches or in the catacombs. They can also be found in The Great Pyramids.
* Hounds: Can be found in any part or time in level 207.
*Death Moths: Both Male and female death moths can be found above ground. They will usually gather near lamps during nighttime.
* Windows: These entities can sometimes be found in old churches or rarely in admin buildings. 
==Outposts and Colonies==
The Knitting Club
This is a small group of wanderers of about 10 or so that live in a large crematorium in the Tokyo area. They spend their time in projection weaving. They are addicted to the high they receive when completing a full weave. They are friendly to travelers and will offer to instruct the wanderer on good weaving techniques. They claim to have a few outposts scattered about in order to assist wanderers in learning how to properly weave.
The Cult of the Pharaohs
Due to the artwork and statues that can be found inside the pyramids, The Cult of the Pharaohs live and hold ceremonies inside and on top of the pyramids as a form of worship to these "gods". This group is not friendly to wanderers and will sometimes attempt to sacrifice wanderers to their gods.
The Catacomb Raiders
This is an explorer group that searches this level's many catacombs and mausoleums for treasures and weapons. They are friendly to wanderers but wish to keep any found treasures. However, they will gift a treasure to a friendly enough wanderer.
M.E.G. Outpost Delta-1-Echo
Established in 2020 out of a large admin building in the England section. This outpost stations about 8 operators. Their goal is to explore and study Shadow Nightmares due to their rarity. They are known to guide wanderers to other levels or provide basic maps of level 207. 
==Entrances== 
All entrances in Level 207 will spawn you inside of a coffin. If you are lucky, this coffin will exist in an open space such as a catacombs area or an above ground cemetery. If you are unlucky, you will have to dig yourself out of the ground after bursting the coffin you are in. If attempting to enter this level, it is advised to bring some tools, notably a shovel. 
*Walking into a random house in Level 10 has a small chance to spawn a coffin at the front door. As you attempt to exit the house, you will open the door to face the coffin. It will feel as something mysteriously pulls you into the coffin space. The door behind slams shut and you are transported to Level 207.
*Attempted self-burial in Level 46 will lead you to Level 207.
*Crushing a spider then touching the doll in Level 110 will transport a wanderer to Level 207.
*Entering and closing a sarcophagus from any monument from Level 94 has a chance of transporting you inside The Great Pyramids in Level 207.
* Suffocating yourself in ground of Level 41, with the intents of self-burial may make one wake up in one of Level 207 structures. The most usual places to wake up in are in the catacombs in Paris or The Great Pyramids.
*Building a coffin in Level 92 and getting inside it will transport you Level 207.
Oxygenating Moss: Determined to actually be a mold, this growth lines each of the coffins wanderers spawn in. They seem to produce hydrogen peroxide as a gaseous byproduct. This mold will also produce an unknown catalytic chemical compound that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water vapor and elemental oxygen. This is a very quick and efficient process. Wanderers note the feint smell of hydrogen peroxide but do not experience any toxic side effects. It is possible for wanderers to stay in these coffins for extended periods of time without the risk of suffocation. 
==Exits==
Every single monument in this level presents a path to any level in the backrooms. A wanderer will find clues such as vague phrases or even numbers carved onto the monuments of this level. In order to travel to another level, a wanderer must open the grave site and enter a coffin. Once the wanderer closes the lid, they will be transported its corresponding level. As of now, this is the only known method of leaving level 207 but again, note that a wanderer can be led to any level. If the coffin does not have a monument, the wanderer will not be transported to another level. It must have some sort of marking with words carved into it.
