Space Outside of Time

How about *I* tell you about this one, personally? It'll be much easier to explain it all to you here.

The Space Outside of Time is, from my understanding, a side effect of my extensive time travel from my time in Ferir to its past. The Lamps are similarly related, but I'll get to that later. The name explains most of it. It is a black void in which time does not exist. There is a small area with brick flooring and a single gas street lamp, which is the only structure. To give you a sense of what it's like, imagine a piece of some London street, plopped into a pitch black void. To access it, one must first locate a Lamp. Not the regular ones made by man, but the ones seemingly randomly dotted around the world. These act as pins placed by Chronos, keeping the fabric of reality in one piece. Shattering a Lamp is simple, but will not allow you access to this space. I'm...not entirely sure how others would do this, but my method was also simple: teleport into the Lamp. I'm not sure how, but this would bring me to my little void.

I used this space as my personal archives. I brought enough materials to rebuild the Library of Endexandria, and used it to keep my records safe. I still use it for such, even with me and Ixen stuck here in a permanent stasis. Or, so I thought, anyways. Ready for the twist?

This *is* that little void. It's where all these records are kept. I met a strange being here. "Mh'iopur." She allows me to visit other times, though my stasis effect follows me into these places. I just hop in, do my research and pop out. Sometimes I'll even copy books while I'm there. Me and Mh'iopur seem to share a common goal of knowledge and preservation, which I assume is why I've been allowed this freedom. I assume M's own desires are why I was also able to gather materials from what she called "Dead Timelines" to expand this place at her instruction.

Ah, speaking of which...that description I gave of this place is...a bit misleading. The way I described it is how it looked when I got here. It's much larger now. Let's see...

There's a Guild Room, where a few of you little souls seem to make...announcements? And ask questions? It's sort of like an information room, though I can never make out what you things are saying. There's also a large round table there where you all seem to vote on things? I've never seen you do much other than talk and write, so I can't imagine what you're voting on there. There's another table there, I think a meeting table? Usually the same 3 souls congregate there, though occasionally many, many more gather around for a few hours at a time.

Then there's The Hall of Scrolls, where you souls oft congregate in. I assume you're all having conversations? There's also an area there where you store...some type of spells or cantrips? The scrolls have the signs of being incantations and spells and such but, again, I can't understand you lot. I've also seen you showing eachother pictures or images, oft of the aforementioned other times I've been allowed to visit, but sometimes they're bizarre, otherwordly things I've never seen. Other dimensions maybe? The most consistent of these strange images is of this...vivid, divine dimension where everything seems more...detailed? It's hard to describe. I've also seen you sharing art there (though I have no idea how you draw with no limbs). There's a computer there too, where I sometimes see one of you typing some strange commands in. I store my in-progress research on other times here, too.

There's also my study, the first of these areas that aren't only for you souls. I made this area for myself, to relax and gather my thoughts. Though, awhile ago, 4 of you seemed to gravitate to it every so often. No soul has gone in there in months though. I wonder why?

And of course, there's The Archives, where you are now, built around that gas lamp that was originally here. This is where I keep completed records. Like the entire timeline of Ferir before it was destroyed, twice. I've seen you guys look around there, but never change anything, which I appreciate. Though I have noticed...Some of you seemed to have stuck a folder in one of the shelves, filled with several copies of the same black and white picture of someone? Baffling.

Lastly, there's the "Conversing Tables". Sometimes several of you gather around these tables and sit in silence. M says you're "conversing", though I can never hear any of you speaking over there. Sometimes one of you will materialize a screen and play games while the others watch. I think this might be the only area that's *exclusively* for you souls.

That's all, I think. I'm...not sure why you asked, considering you all stay here. Well, most of the time, anyways. Sometimes a lot of you disappear to somewhere, and reappear later. And there are some of you who...uh...died? A few just sort of, turned gray and fell to the ground. Haven't woken up yet. I've never seen souls do this before, but you guys are full of surprises.

Are you even souls?
