The Twilight Valley

*When all has left you, Soul and Light,*

*Alone in starless, darkest Night,*

*Embrace the Nothing, and from it Reap,*

*Or you shall drown within the Deep.*

### **Overview**

The Twilight Valley is large subspace realm of heavily altered physics. Among documented subspace realms, the Valley has a larger activity of dimensional gateways and overlaps than any other realm on record. The area is considered dangerous, as its inhabitants are consistently powerful and local magical auras are very powerful. Though the Valley boasts a range of inhabitants, it is best noted for the presence of Grey Lords. The Valley is regarded as being owned by Sylver, previously owned by Ravvyn.

The Valley has been referred to by many other names, mostly in legend. These names include, but are not limited to, the Space Between Things, the World Above, the Land that Should Never Have Been, the Wanderer's Final Rest, and the Valley of the Lost.

### **Geometry and Geography**

The Twilight Valley boasts anomalous physical laws and non-Euclidean geometry. The borders of the Valley are undefined, though the farthest edges seem to only result in endless mountains or endless water. Dimensional gateways to and from the Valley are common; for example, one may be lost at sea and wash up on the shores of the Valley, or lost in a cave and come out within the Valley.

Considerably the most notable location in the Valley is the Twilight Palace, regarded as the central home and place of operation of Sylver. The Palace is a large structure of altering geometry, composed mostly of various types of stone, metal and crystal. The Palace may be considered to have an outer wall, though it is more accurate to say that parts of the structure have formed in a wall-like manner, creating large courtyards. The Twilight Palace is backed by a range of sheer, rocky mountains.

The second most notable location in the Valley, mostly due to presence and size, is the Lake of Tears. The lake is a vast, possibly endless body of water making up much of the Valley's border. Most attempts at crossing the lake will either result in appearing somewhere else within the Valley, or appearing on another planet or subspace realm.

### **Inhabitants**

The non-sentient inhabitants of the Twilight Valley are almost entirely magical, and many of them make strange use of the Valley's strange geometry. Much of the fauna within the Valley are quite dangerous, and at least one dragon has been confirmed on record. It can often be difficult to differentiate between sentient and non-sentient inhabitants. Many creatures which appear as simple-minded fauna are actually intelligent beings.

The sentient beings of the Valley are often humanoid, though rarely of near-human appearance. It is common to have strange or animalistic features on a humanoid frame. Marshall Ouven, leader of the Palace Forces, seemingly has the head of some kind of plant-like substance.

The Valley has held multiple Grey Lords, including Sylver, Ravvyn and ZBruh.

2. ↑ Name is simply Ouven [OH - vehn]; any other attachments are unknown.
