Extraneous
Extraneous is a very peculiar realm of bright colours and changeable sky.
Note: The one realm that Sharran can not freely enter is the realm of Extraneous - the realm of Mania - the youngest of The Enduring Ones. Mania has difficulty focusing and paying attention on one thing for long, which is shown by the ever changing sky.
No shadow matches the form of the item or people it is the shadow of. No path goes in a straight line, the ground is rarely level, and the statues are animated so switch around at will.
Formed before the Moata Solar System was formed by Moatama (the Creation; the Creator), but originally did not have the same appearance.
This realm is home toMania, the youngest of The Enduring Ones.
It is told that one may only be able to navigate it by focusing on Mania, with a mind filled with other thoughts, and traveling towards the very centre. How one knows which way is the centre is a little unclear though - any signposts are not so simple either.
At the middle there is a broken sundial reading Tempus Frangit - along with the unusual gallery, scrying pool, and Delirium's private residence (a bizarre house, inside and out).
Delirium's House
In the centre of Extraneous, it was build with a confusing layered style and passage ways. The laughter often heard inside is sweet then turns manic.The stairs from the roof top arboretum leads only down to the small library, at the base of the tower on the West side. The kitchen with large pantry, is next to the master bedroom, linked by two single doors - on the 3rd level. Has only one guest bedroom, but three dining areas. An inside small lake sits above the dinette.

Mania
Names = Mania; Soveh; Sovaz; Sultana Amoort; Delirium;Previous Names = Solandra; Shehzadi; Atmeh; Delight
SYMBOLS = an abstract, shapeless blob of colours.
Considered the youngest of The Enduring Ones, Mania appears as a colourful young girl whose form changes occasionally - often based on the random fluctuations of her temperament. She will lazy for hours in a plane of realm of her choosing, taking the time to wait for something that will entertain her to happen.
A large part of their personality is exquisite and imaginative. She has wild hair and eccentric, mismatched, wavy and unpredictable clothes. Fishes float in air around her head. Her shadow never reflects her shape, and is tangible, like velvet.
She has wild hair and eccentric, mismatched, wavy and unpredictable clothes - that match her personality.
Mania has an aversion to being touched. She is said to smell of sweet sweat, late nights, sour wine, and old leather. She is often in the company of her dog Barnabas - a gift from her brother Troilus.
Her only permanent physical characteristic is that one of her eyes is green with Oōruritē flecks and the other blue, but even those sometimes switch between left and right. She often seems very childlike and still quite innocent - yet Mania is more scatterbrained and easily distracted - she often forgets the thread of her conversations and comes out with offbeat and seemingly inconsequential observations. Mania is also quick to respond angrily to rudeness, leading her to occasionally punish people without mercy - usually with a form of madness. Mania is usually in a confused mental state that causes disorientation and confusion. It starts suddenly and can come and go. Symptoms include quickly changing mental states - problems with attention, awareness, thinking, memory, feelings or sleep.
She was once known as Solandra was a delightful creature who looked to be a Solar Being that shined sunlight and Oōruritē. Sometimes appearing as one of the Living Stars. An Immortal Royal of innocence, niceness and naivety. Solandra lived in an ignorant bliss - she spoke only of the joyful and beautiful things.
She was an affectionate creature, with a heart open to great love - which she found with the deity Moonweaver.
Delight turned to Delirium, because ignorance is bliss.
As time went on, and during the Corruption, the more knowledge she gained, changing Solandra to Mania.
Mania's appearance is impacted not only by mortals, but also by the other members of The Enduring Ones. Her skin colour will be chalky white in the presence of her family, but Caucasian in the presence of those with similar colouring. This seems to be an attribute unique to her.
Once the personification of pleasure and joy, she somehow evolved in to Mania long ago - for reasons unknown and unexplained.
Mania often has a playful attitude, regarding some events with ecstatic joy - such as being held above the ground by a Wyvern, or to Crave splitting into multiple incarnations before her. Mania is also quick to respond angrily to rudeness, leading her to occasionally punish people without mercy; usually with a form of madness.
It may be noted that Mania, as Solandra, once exhibited a very deep form of order. Her long and rambling recollection seemed non-sensical, It has been suggested that Mania may be less mad than she appears and merely has trouble expressing herself.
She once was a very symmetrical creature - when she appears as such it seems to reflect perhaps that in Mania, there is some delight still existing, no matter how painful.
Mania, like all The Enduring Ones, exhibits a form of prophetic knowledge; however, her prophecies rarely make sense until it is too late to do anything about them, and no other character recognizes them. Mania also seems to know many things none of the other Enduring Ones appear to know.
* Troilus describes a situation in which Scythe (The Raven Queen) told Troilu that everybody knows everything and they just pretend they do not - yet neither Troilus nor Azhrarn (ruler of The Dream Realm) really understand, accept or have faith in that fact.
Mania, however, says, "She is. um. Right. Kind of. Not knowing everything is all that makes it okay, sometimes."
