Whatif
All the worlds that shouldn't be, but are.
While there is still no scientific proof that would solidify these worlds in our current existence, there comes a time when coincidences happen so often they start to form a pattern. Whatif is a term used for the other worlds, for dreamscapes and magical planes that have some sort of connection with Earth and affect it to some degree. It doesn't really help in discerning what is actually going on, that Whatif inhabitants insist that their world is the real one and certainly makes more sense and that gravity is stupid and the speed of light is just a recommendation.
Getting to any part of Whatif is not easy, getting out is even worse - because once you are not here or there, do you even remember what "out" means anymore? It tends to mess up the human brain even if you are used to dealing with metaphysical things and jumping through weird glowy portals.
There are six main dimensions (more commonly referred to as floors): Ruby, Amber, Halo, Jade, Lagoon and Abyss. It's best to imagine them as types of clouds that hover above one another, because travellers that move between these plains insist that there is order to the chaos and one layer strictly follows the next.
What about the black stuff?
Void is not counted as a world on its own, but rather an "absence" of a world. It can be likened to the vacuum or dark matter in our universe. The difference is that even demons are afraid of the Void and wish it didn't exist. And in a sense, it doesn't, which makes it even worse.Where does the Earth fits in, exactly?
It doesn't, which is probably the main reason of instinctual paranoia that whatif inhabitants have towards us "earthlings". They do not trust us one bit. They refer to our world and its stars as "the necklace" usually mumbling something about "string theories" and quickly backing away. In recent centuries, the hostilities tend to simmer down and are replaced with growing curiosity. One should still watch their step though.
