The Between-Space

The Between-Space is a transdimensional demiplane of unknown maximum size, accessed by portal.The Between-Space: A Terminal Vehicle for Many Eras (Pyramid 3/40) Known, permanent portico-portals exist in ████████████, ██████████, and on Homeline in Telluride Colorado.Fanon The anomalous space and its portals appear to be maintained and operated by an entity known as "Narthex", although it is unknown if Narthex is a species, corporation, or autonomous eusocial hivemind.
The Between-Space is accessed through portico-portals (see below), which tend to appear and disappear sporadically unless otherwise notes (see Permanent Portals). Shortly after a portal is opened, Narthex will approach any wanderers who make their way in, enticing them (albeit robotically) with the Between-Space service of interworld travel.
== Portico Portals ==
Entrance/exits to the Between-Space appear as vivid white portals, set into white stone, with a series of columns set in a rectangular pattern around the portal, similar to a Greek temple or modern courthouse.
== The Price ==
The price for interworld travel is measured in "memories", which are extracted by unknown means at the end of the excursion. A single petitioner for interworld travel may have to lose some or even all of their memories on the way back from a mission (making it generally impractical) whereas a group of travelers can be paid for by a single volunteer's memories.
=== Permanent Portals ===
In multiple confirmed timelines, Narthex has offered a permanent static portico for the trade of "the life memories of ten long-lived beings".
== The Rules ==
* No violence
** Violent individuals will be teleported back to their respective worlds
* No traveling to occupied alternate worlds
** This doesn't apply to the world you're already in, meaning you could go from London to Between-Space to Tokyo without issue.
** The main exception to this rule is permanent porticos, as one can travel through the same portal 
== Current Theories ==
=== Charon Theory ===
"Narthex could theoretically travel to other places, but refuses to, or simply can't. Perhaps they've been banished or somehow restricted to the Between-Space, and their primary way of learning about the outside world(s) is through memory siphoning. Perhaps they are like Charon the Ferryman--transporting souls to other planes, but taking memories on the way there. There must be a reason behind this fundamental restriction of knowledge, for them to import it second-hand rather than seeing for themselves..." --Dr. Daniels
