Eigenrealität

Eigenrealität (grebenstein, lit.: inherent reality, something's own reality) denotes a place's, person's or item's intertia towards changes in it's universe's basic properties. 
It is only noticeable when changing from one 'universe' to another, usually encountered when entering or leaving a demonic Shard Realm, or when opening a gateway between two separate realms. Eigenrealität is a significant factor in any extradimensional encounter and has entered the public awareness after travel into the Aliaerean Empire was allowed. 
==Eigenrealität-Overlaps==
When two realms with different properties are connected by any sort of gateway, an Eigenrealität-Overlap occurs. Both different sets of rules bleed into the other realm respectively, and both sets of rules can apply simultaneously even if contradictory. The overlap is proportional to the size of the realms involved, so that the larger realm will bleed its Eigenrealität deeper into the smaller one and will eventually, over a very long timeframe, absorb the smaller realm and integrate it into the larger set of rules. 
This can lead to absurd situations as seen in the orbit of Aylian after the Erean Incursion: Travellers on the Erean behemoths could reach the demon gate in orbit without any protective gear, apparently travelling through perfectly breatheable atmosphere, while travellers on Imperial spaceships next to them crossed kilometers of empty space - all the while hearing the chatter and laughter of their colleagues on the behemoths as if the sound was travelling through an atmosphere. 
==Eigenrealität-Decay==
When moving into a different realm, one always carries their native Eigenrealität with them. This Eigenrealität will decay over time, eventually causing the traveller to become more and more a part of their new home realm. People, or rather, any souled creature, will only adapt to suit the local laws of nature while conceptually remaining basically unchanged. Items that are at odds with the local set of rules will either disappear, cease to function or shift into an entirely different item with roughly comparable uses. 
The Eigenrealität of people and named items decays significantly slower than that of unnamed items.
