====== Wedges and their Personality ======
Wedges still undergo the Cycle of Destruction and Rebirth as per the God of Destruction's nature. as such they form and create new personalities.

====Ebisu and Edgeland====
Blessed ground that straddles two realms. Here,
intertwined fates are questioned.
======Ebisu======
The Primal beast of blessing whose giant body is mistaken as an island. It migrates between Sky-realm and Crimson Horizon.Journal Archive : The Primal Beast Ebisu
Time and Space cease to function as one would expect and is beyond the grasp of reality and time.Shitori Fate Episode : the end of dream This place is also where Fate coalesceMain Story ch111 ep3either by coincidence or by the influence of higher power.Main Story ch112 ep1 Falling in Ebisu means losing connection to your own history and fate.Main Story ch111 ep3 Edgeland is at the edge of reality and only Fate can guide you to this place.Main Story ch111 ep4 Furthermore it shares similarities with Otherworld of having their time seemingly stopped because they are unbound by it.Main Story ch111 ep4 
======The Edgelands======
The Edgelands exist in the boundary between the Sky Realm and the Crimson Horizon. As an entirely distinct entity from the Sky Realm, returning to the skies above once you've fallen into the Edgelands is a near impossible task. Time also works differently in this peculiar area, its passage altered considerably from the flow of time in the livable sky space.Homescreen Town : The Edgelands description
======Living Atop Ebisu======
Ebisu drifts through the world unbound by the normal rules of time and space. As such, all manner of people throughout all skydoms and timelines fall atop the primal's back. The basis for life in the Edgelands depends on this phenomenon, so the arrival of newcomers is treated as one of the most important events.Homescreen Town : Living Atop Ebisu description
======Inhabitants at Odds======
Having drifted down to the Edgelands, these groups of people must spend their lives atop the primal beast Ebisu. Among their ranks are all types of people from different backgrounds and time periods, but they focus on uniting under a shared commonality to prevent conflict. Despite this, conflicts are inevitable, leading to the formation of two opposing factions.Homescreen Town : Inhabitants at Odds description
======The Eruption======
Incorporeal vestiges of power drift down to the Edgelands and collect inside of Ebisu. When this accumulated energy reaches a certain threshold, it explodes from the primal beast in a smoke-filled blast. This force is enough to break through the boundaries of the Edgelands into the skies above.Main Story ch112 ep2Homescreen Town : The Eruption description
====Fissure====
The Fracture is the dimension that exist outside out of reach of Otherworld and Sky-realm. A place said to be a World between Worlds.
Far more disconnected than the Edgelands it is the Dimension Ebisu reached after Lyria used Kikuri to find a fated encounter that would save them from the Otherworld in Edgelands.Main Story Ch163 Ep4
Nothing much exist in this dimension other than The Blue Coffer where Lyria from another Branch is resting.
The Otherworlders cannot seem to reach this place despite their capability to reach any dimension by using death as a bridge and were only able to harm and consume Ebisu before being completely purged by a blue light.
==Crimson Horizon/Otherworld/Earthly Realm==
====As Structure ====
Crimson HorizonLucio Fate Episode or sometimes referred as Earthly realm by old Sky-dwellers or Otherworldly realm. Crimson Horizon exist at the bottom of Sky-realm and harbors Chaos and otherworlders.Crimson Horizon is often considered as a Blank Canvass from where Sky-realm is painted upon.When Sky-realm is teared upon this canvassWhat makes the Sky Blue 000 : ending a spatiotemporal phenomenon occursThe Maydays : Whack Atoll ch5 eps 3. This phenomenon causes a rift that will trap anythingWhat makes the Sky Blue 000 : ending within the Canvass. Due to its nature as a rift it can also lead one to the afterlife where Sandalphon managed to converse with Lucifer who has perished from chaosWhat makes the Sky Blue 000 : ending.
====Connection to Afterlife ====
Not much is known about the Afterlife but it is also somehow connected to the Otherworld that people who is suppose to move to the afterlife sometimes ends up being trapped in the Otherworld and they are supposed to be 2 distinct concept until this distinction was lost in Sky-realm and caused distortion in reality.Granblue Fantasy Main Story Ch 127 ep2 
====Connection to Sky-realm ====
People being in the Otherworld doesn't always mean they have died. Within the Otherworld one can travel purely on their emotions and will rather than distance and one can travel within the otherworld to reach anyplace in Sky-realmGranblue fantasy Main Story ch 125 ep2. In this Realm there is no night or day and someone doesn't need to eat or sleep as if time doesn't exist in some wayGranblue Fantasy Main Story Ch 127 ep2. The Otherworld exist as if it is the End of everything or anything and they are both near or far and only separated by intense emotionsGranblue fantasy Main Story ch125 ep1. Crimson Horizon/Otherworld shares great discontinuity with Sky-realm due to its separation by the Dimensional Boundary and Otherworldly beings cannot access Sky-realm without the use of rifts in the sky, gateway and being called upon by strong emotions and desire by Sky-dwellers.
====Crimson Horizon chaos and separation from Sky-realm ====
Crimson Horizon is a flourishing world before it was subjected to the chaos of otherworld and WardantRobomi: Epic Clash. Chapter 6 ep 1. Everything about Crimson Horizon from its laws, concept, nature even fundamental factors has been cut off from Sky-realm[1]Robomi: Epic Clash ch6 ep1[2]Robomi: Epic Clash. Ending. Crimson Horizon was the original world but due to Otherworldly beings interference he instead covered it with floating islands and is now completely separated by a dimensional boundary to stop chaos from eroding Providence in Sky-realm and Astral Realm.
====Nature of Otherworldly Realm and Chaos ====
As Otherworlders and their Chaos defies Providence and exist as direct opposition to itWhat makes the Sky Blue 000 : Ch2 eps 3. Thus even someone who is immortal can be killed by ignoring the The Providence from which the logic of said immortality is reliant on.

It is also capable of not only erasing but also corrupting entities and replicating them with the difference of being made of chaosZeta and Vaseraga Halloween Fate Episode. Unlike Crimson Horizon, One does not erode from chaosWhat makes the Sky Blue Paradise Lost : Light's reverie in Otherworldly realm. Otherworldly Realm is governed by its own lawsScent of Fate at Sky's End ch6 ep3 and connecting a link to Sky-realm causes Time, SpaceScent of Fate at Sky's End ch6 ep3 and CausalityScent of Fate at Sky's End Ch6 ep2 to grown unstable and being. The Otherworld also does not have night or day and it's as if time itself has stopped that even Beelzebub said how his battle seemed to have stretched for infinite time.
Furthermore, Otherworldly beings which resides and exist in the otherworld is a representation of Death and Destruction as such where there is deathMain Story Ch154 Ep2, they will be thereMain Story Ch163 Ep3 and their capability of such ignores dimensional barrier. They are also said to transcend Space and Time. Lastly their Nature is fundamentally different from Astrals and Skydwellers to the point that it is not about weakness or strength but rather difference in DimensionMain Story Ch166 Ep3. That Affecting them would require one to be on an equivalent or higher dimensional power as shown how the Boundary which is something outside their reach despite their nature is something they can't reach on their own.Main Story Ch172 Ep4 Although they are powerless against concept beyond their scopeMain Story Ch166 Ep3 specially such that is an Antithesis to their ownMain Story Ch162 Ep3
