Alagadda

> Drunk were the gods of physics, above and below without meaning – twisted by the pandemonium city.

**Explanation:** Also known as SCP-2264-B, Alagadda is a large dimension with non-Euclidian geometry. It is completely real and tangible, but time and space are difficult to measure. Along with this, individuals who are adept at and have a history of lucid dreaming have far greater physical and mental control and stability. Alagadda seems to have a threat of "psychological addiction". There is a universal translation of language, with any language spoken being immediately translated to the listener's most prominent language. Written words appear as insensible shapes, but can be somewhat understood after prolonged observation. These words are the typical language of Alagadda, and have no direct equivalent to any human language. As the Wandsman says, "Such was the nature of Alagadda, the restraints of time and space being mere suggestion, not law". There is not a constant flow of time, without conventional placement of events or passage of time occurring.

**Appearance:** Alagadda has a completely and constantly yellow sky with countless black stars scattered throughout the sky, not associated with any stars or constellations seen on Earth. The only colors that appear in Alagadda are yellow, black, red, and white, regardless of the viewer's color receptors. Alagadda appears to be on an island surrounded by a boundless black, viscous ocean

**Architecture:** Alagadda appears as a city with non-Euclidian geometry, not obeying the typical laws of physics and gravity. The buildings are built in such a way that it seems they are all carved and built out of a single seamless material. The city is described to smell of "dried flowers with a hint of mold", or a scent "not unlike that of old books". Alagadda has a large palace which contains a library, a seemingly infinite library of books and knowledge. The general architecture of Alagadda is typically confusing due to its complication and non-Euclidian geometry.

**Society:** The individuals inside Alagadda are roughly humanoid and most commonly seen wearing masquerade outfits resembling clothing associated with the Carnival of Venice. They are all seen wearing chitinous masks, and are frequently seen having sex in small and large numbers. Their skin appears ceramic and do not appear entirely alike humans on Earth, some with a differing amount of limbs or appendages than humans. There are possibly millions of inhabitants of Alagadda. There are four chief associates that directly oversee Alagadda, being the Black, White, Red, and Yellow Lords.

**History:** Alagadda is a city-state that borders the Nevermeant

**Entrance:** Alagadda is entered using Janus Gates, extradimensional gates that can transport one to Alagadda, and objects from Alagadda cannot be brought out using SCP-2264-A. Any individuals entering Alagadda through SCP-2264-A have their clothing removed and replaced with masquerade-esque clothing
