INTERSPACE
INTERSPACE
Imagine yourself walking through a bucolic place in the middle of the forest and, as you stumble, suddenly realizing that you are in a landscape of ancient ruins instead of coming face to face with grass. Congratulations, you’ve just discovered a pocket of interspace. These extraordinary places consist of points at which the reality of the material plane bends, creating a space between spaces. The landscapes of pockets are usually very different from where their entry points are. It is possible that the interspace locations are actually small fragments of scenes from the old universe that existed before the regenesis caused by the primordial capsule that created the current universe where the world of If exists. In this way, pockets of interspace would be like small oil slicks floating in water, a heterogeneous mixture between two incompatible realities.
The entry points to interspace are difficult to detect, they do not emit any sound or brightness and they also do not radiate magic. A perception test, however, is capable of drawing the observer’s attention to something strange in the interaction with the surrounding environment. If you illuminate the entry point to interspace it will not reflect the glow of your torch, as the light penetrates through warp space. Rain will also cause a confusing visual phenomenon as it also enters the fold and the ground at the entry point will remain dry while all around it is completely soaked.
In some pockets the entry point is the same as the exit point, however in others it is not, which makes them particularly dangerous, as the accidental explorer may find himself trapped in an extradimensional landscape of unknown exit.
