A Gaze Unto Abyssal Spaces

[Cthonic Archivist]

"Oh... How Did Things Get Like This...?"

Months now neared a full year in time since study on the witnessed realm began. What had been dubbed the "Abyss of Dregs" by its local fanatic and researcher on the isle far from the mainland. An accidental viewing when trying to visualize the Astral Sea. But instead finding this bleak, disturbing sight of metamorphic black. The hypothesis made by the sensations the sight left tingling through his every neuron? Euxenos Krima wrote of it as if the realm itself was composed of human essences turned gestalt across centuries. Forming its own realm upon the outskirts reality. And despite its horrific features? It was idyllic to have the memory of.

But this hardly explained the how of it. Something that nagged at the back of the teen that aspired to be a sorcerer. He craved to grow closer to this realm. To the infestation of gentle, choked voices it first touched his psyche with.

From this desire, ambition then burned. A ritual was being designed to make it a reality. Utilizing a modified Sorcerous Seal's inscription to be the initial guiding factor, and connected to an outer series of leylines that then converged to five separate pentacles. It was a place they could not visit physically just yet. Thus, projection was the only option to go that far. However, there was intent to collect evidence of this place's origins and existence in turn. A summoning circle thus being added to the intricate and sprawling patterns of sigils- That what is found when out of body? May be returned to the material world all the same.
