The Sympanz Realm

**The Sympanz Realm** is the origin of multiple universes and multiverses. It is the homeworld of the Apeiroazas and Primordials.

## Landscape

The Sympanz Realm is an infinite void filled with several floating islands. The void itself is a loop; should someone fall from one of the numerous islands, they will simply land right back on the same island after a few minutes.

The islands have a series of tunnels connecting them, but they can only be accessed if someone knows the right way into them. They cannot be interacted with by jumping into the void. The tunnels lead to hot springs which can be used to heal wounds and clean any imperfections.

## History

Life describes the Sympanz Realm as being the origin of universes and multiverses. In her words, all origin stories have some semblance of truth to them that comes from this Realm. While the Apeiroaza are the species most associated with the Sympanz Realm, the Contemelia, Celestialsapiens, and Slimebiotes also find their exact origin here, before they were sent to other places to build upon the universes and multiverses, such as the Forge of Creation.

The context is left unclear, but at some point in the past, Death was banished from the Sympanz Realm to Earth-1799.A. As such, the concept of "death" no longer exists within the Sympanz Realm; individuals cannot die. This is also why the Primordials no longer create universes. If they were to create one without Death, nothing within that universe would be capable of dying, making all species and individuals immortal, thusly causing a population problem.

### *Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure*

At the end of *Clock 10 vs. The Negative 10: Part 1*, nine named individuals fell from a central location made by Creative Mode into a void leading to the Sympanz Realm. These nine were Clockwork Firefly, Hope Spellbinder, Terry Firefly, Rook Blonko, Julie Yamamoto, Molly Gunther, Kolar, Prisoner 775, and Crysta. This was due to the nature of the central location. Hope described the location as being "between realms," thusly placing it between the main universe, the Sympanz Realm, Ledgerdomain, Anur Phaetos, etc. With the others all being restrained to some degree, the Sympanz Realm was the only one truly infinite, and thusly the central location's void led to it.

In *Clock 10 vs. The Negative 10: Part 2*, Clock and Hope reluctantly teamed up with Kolar to try to find a way out of the Sympanz Realm and back home. This led them to meet Stingleherman, who agreed to lead them to those who could help return them home, but only once the three cleaned up some, which led to an awkward sauna bath shared by Clock and Kolar. When the three were cleaned up, and Clock was given his ability to see the color orange again, Stingleherman finally led them to the Primordial Citadel, where they met five of the six Primordials, excluding the banished Death.

Space summoned the other six fallen, and attempted to return them home, only for it to not work; Energy and Order explained that the negativity between the group's members was leading to uncertainty, and that they needed to work out their issues before they could leave. This led to several one-on-one therapy sessions, with the exception of the final one between Clock and Rook, in which Space put Julie into the mix to try to turn the tides, which was mostly successful. With enough of the negativity gone, Space was able to return the fallen home, all while the other species of the Realm performed a musical number to say farewell.

Despite those nine returning home, several unnamed residents of Earth, human or otherwise, remained in the Realm after falling. Haplor's deceased body also resides there, as he died prior to falling into the Realm.

## Plantlife

Stingleherman was shown being a gardener of jaundice bushes. The jaundice berries on the bushes turn those who eat them yellow for a short amount of time. Dragonfly-Tigers eat the berries as well, being pests from Stingleherman's perspective.

## Culture

Stingleherman seems to act as a "host" for guests, whether expected or not, and insists that the Primordials are "bosses" who dislike unexpected guests, though the Primordials seemed rather welcoming. It is unknown if anyone else has a similar role.

## Weather

Despite there being no visible sun in the Sympanz Realm, the Realm is shown to have clear, bright days. It is unknown if there is a nighttime.
