==Trivia==
*For a long time, The Abyss was popularly thought to be a void between planes, and possibly synonymous with the Nether Void, the Aether, and/or the Blind Eternities. Brady Dommermuth was the first to imply that it was a plane. This was confirmed at last when it appeared as a plane card in March of the Machine Commander.
