The 'mindspace', also known as the 'mindspace temple', was an abstract
alter-dimension that was created through the abilities of the othermind.
It was formerly maintained by Cottonmouth and Freedom.

## Description

The mindspace was the area in which Cottonmouth and Freedom's minds were
stuck and could speak to one another, along with anyone else that they
allowed in the mindspace.

It was described to descend like a poisonous haze across a
Dragons|dragon's mind, making their surroundings fade away. The
surroundings provided by the mindspace felt quite real, and while
inhabitants felt entirely themselves, the mindspace allowed their
inhabitants to understand things they usually would not, such as Luna
understanding the human language. Additionally, inhabitants saw and
heard whatever Cottonmouth and Freedom wanted them to; their
surroundings could change at will, either by selecting an existing
location or conjuring one from imagination. Cottonmouth and Freedom were
also able to bring other beings into the mindspace, even from across
Pantala, although doing so was much harder than when the being was in
the same room; when this was done, a kind of crackling would be present
in the air before the being appeared. Cottonmouth and Freedom were also
able to speak through dragons that they had infected with the othermind
via the mindspace. While dragons can experience the concept of traveling
through the mindspace, they do not become tired, as they are not using
their physical limbs. If Cottonmouth or Freedom are currently inhabiting
a host, everyone within the mindspace can hear what said host hears.

Although inhabitants could hear and see other beings through memories
within the mindspace, they could not be felt, heard, or perceived by
said other beings. Inhabitants could see themselves and could touch
other beings brought into the mindspace with them, as well as objects
such as trees, however.

The transition between memories was compared to a dark shadow descending
rapidly from above or the landscape simply floating, swirling, shifting,
or melting away. It rolled over inhabitants like fog, making the entire
world blink, and when it cleared, inhabitants appeared somewhere else
entirely. Pineapple's memory of snuggling with Jambu faded away like
morning mist, and left behind the ghost of the scent of jasmine.

At a standstill, the mindspace is a featureless gray mist. For most of
its existence, it appeared as an earlier version of the throne room
within the abyss village: no plants covered the floor or the archway,
and the throne and columns appeared newly chiseled and smooth. It seemed
brand-new, with no othermind plant present, and the floor consisted of
soft, rich dirt.

## History

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Flames of Hope

Luna and Dusky spent the majority of the book in the mindspace and
experienced visions there, as well as memories from other dragons who
came and went.
