Eternal Expanse
Realm of souls:
The Eternal Expanse is not a realm that can be traversed or discovered. Despite the endless rifts and dimensional pathways that connect the multiverse, no portal, spell, or map has ever unveiled its location. This is because the Eternal Expanse does not reside in a physical plane—it exists within Thane himself, an extension of his being and an embodiment of his divine nature. A realm where existence itself is stripped to its essence, the Eternal Expanse is a place of profound stillness, devoid of light, sound, or sensation. Here, the boundaries of perception dissolve, leaving only the raw essence of the soul.
The Void of Silence:
The Eternal Expanse is characterized by its profound silence, a deafening absence of sound that echoes throughout the void. It is a realm where no voice can be heard, and even the faintest whisper is swallowed by the infinite darkness. This silence creates a sense of solitude and introspection for the souls that reside within.
Freedom from Mortal Burdens:
The Expanse offers an unparalleled refuge, freeing souls from the constraints of mortality. Pain, fear, and longing evaporate in this boundless void, replaced by an unshakable calm. It is not a place of joy or sorrow, but of pure, tranquil detachment—a state of existence untainted by the turmoil of the mortal world.
Eternal Existence:
Time within the Eternal Expanse is infinite and unchanging. Souls in this realm exist in a perpetual state of being, free from the constraints of mortal lifespan. It is a timeless sanctuary where the concept of past, present, and future loses its significance, and existence stretches into eternity.
Awaiting Judgment:
The Expanse is more than a refuge; it is a liminal space where souls await their ultimate fate. It is said that every soul here is held in suspension, reflecting upon the life they once lived. They linger until the end of all things, when Thane will pronounce judgment and guide them to their eternal destination—whether it be tranquility, torment, or transcendence.
Transcendence and Mystery:
The Eternal Expanse is shrouded in profound mystery, as it resides not as a separate realm but within Thane himself. Some theologians speculate that it is a reflection of his very essence—a realm born from the vast void that exists within the God of Death. This has led to whispers that Thane’s nature is more than merely a guide for the dead. Perhaps his connection to other cosmic beings, like Lilith, carries implications yet to be understood.
