THE WALL

THE WALL is a massive white barricade that surrounds both the Kombectures of pocket-dimension PT and the heart of virtual PT. It is extremely dense, thick, and tall, giving it an impression of nigh-impenetrability. The power of THE WALL is a physical thing that affects those close to it, smothering their speech and all other sound with its sheer presence. No one can speak next to the wall, and all sounds are either heavily muffled or eliminated entirely.
== History ==
THE WALL was originally built around the developing Kombectures to establish the border between civilized pocket dimension space and untamed primordial abyss. It stands as a symbol of implacable protection against the amorphous horrors of the beyond. It is not unusual for a Kombecture citizen to visit the wall and enter an awestruck state for hours at a time. Of course, said citizens do so silently.
Theories abound that the "untamed abyss" outside is space corrupted by the effects of a quintessentially abstract force beyond man or god, often coined as simply "The Symbol". This corruption manifests as several different potentialities constantly splitting, merging, and multiplying in an endless physical roulette. This notion is supported by Phantom's insistence on the creation of THE WALL an his hand in its construction, as it is heavily believed he has knowledge of The Symbol. What is known is that THE WALL's attributes counter the shifting realms beyond, narrowing them into singular, silent eventualities before they can wreak havoc on the other side of the barrier.
THE WALL was later adopted into the virtual PT server as a novelty voice channel where users could go to emulate the silencing majesty of its proximity. Users who joined THE WALL voice channel could not speak, stream, or do anything other than exist, exactly like the real thing. THE WALL was a hit for nearly a year until it was destroyed on January 23rd 2022 by moderator @Myriacore in a fit of juvenile compulsion. This caused strong backlash and gave rise to the #BANBIGCORE movement, which did not actually lead to the ban of the user.
THE WALL was later reconstructed to be larger and stronger than before. This "NEO-WALL" could no longer be deleted by moderators or even server figurehead Phantom. The NEO-WALL was later renamed to THE WALL again, as if the original had never been gone.
== Powers ==
THE WALL has powers far beyond any normal barricade, but is very conservative with their use. It is a self-contained object and does not reach out to infect the world around it, expand, or attack others. It does not think, wish, or feel. It is simply THE WALL. Its strength can be felt in the gentle sideways tug of gravity, the way it draws one's eye, the tangible sense of bulk, and of course, the stifled sound.
All of these attributes and more serve to make THE WALL useful for stifling chaos.
In early 2022 a new secondborn voice was created to maintain the wall named "Servitor."
