The Far Realm

The Far realm is madness and chaos incarnate, even more so than Limbo, the outer plane of chaos. The Far Realm lies outside of the endless boundaries of Gearva, beyond the cascading Gearvian Falls and everything else known to the finite races. Great alien beasts even worse than the Tarrasque swim though this insane mind-boggling ocean of black, and even a vision of The Far Realm can drive the viewer mad. Creatures such as the gibbering mouther, beholders, and spectral beasts have an origin in The Far Realm, and it is believed that you can travel to The Far Realm through The Phase Lands if a certain ritual is completed...

The Far Realm and The Deck of Many Things

It is said that a magical relic, a deck of cards that can lead to either catastrophe or blessing, can give a drawer of the "vision" card is given a vision of The Far Realm, and is instantly devoted to finding The Far Realm... However, at least 14 cards of this deck must be collected before being able to draw from it.

Geography

Visions of the Far Realm are so alien to the Wraith Globe that the affliction of receiving such a vision has been given a name: The Curse of World's End. Only a few who have seen a vision of The Far Realm have survived the experience sane, but their description of this endless abyss can shed some light on exactly what The Far Realm is...

"It was like a constellation of stars surrounding me in suspended space. As I floated motionless in the dark depths, the stars began to warp and twist around me, becoming an assortment of wicked faces sneering at me that faded away as quickly as they appeared. A goliath silhouette came over my flickering form, and as I looked up to see the cause of this sudden eclipse, a primal fear within me began to run wild. I tried to flail my weak limbs as to swim away from this colossal titan, but my limbs wouldn't respond to my commands. I cowered in fear, awaiting my imminent doom, when suddenly, I reappeared in my study, lying on the ground with my colleagues surrounding me in a concerned huddle."
