The Between

The Between is an open, pitch black stretch that seems to go on forever. At a glance, it may resemble outer space as many of the more distant worlds do glint and shine like stars and even suns against the darkness. However, unlike space, one does not require a special suit or craft to remain alive in the Between. Where is the real outer space then? It doesn't actually exist here. Sorry, aspiring astronauts!

It is impossible for non-Ascended to navigate the Between. Wakened can only successfully travel through it and into worlds that are not their own with the aid of an Angelii, Ashura, or Deva. The Between is vast and difficult to navigate and is also not the safest place to be in due to the residual Chaos that ebbs and flows throughout its expanse. This movement of Chaos can cause unwanted changes in those passing through if they are not strong enough to hang onto their sense of self.
