The Abyss

The Abyss is a vast, ocean-like demiplane that little is known-about. It houses aberration creatures called Novus Demons, or at least they base component, Novus Energy. Some spell casters use temporary gates to The Abyss as a way to access its energy and refine it into magic, which they then use for several different purposes. Th Abyss itself, however, is not place for any normal living-beings, much less humans, there are reports of people falling into gates to The Abyss, only to never be recovered.

Geography

The Abyss' geography is widely unknown due to its inhospitality to outside creatures. But glimpses of it have been recorded during the usage of Gates. Accounts of these sightings have described The Abyss as a vast ocean-like plane, with no visible beginning or end. Some of these accounts describe slight movement being seen in the vast void, with some people describing an eerie feeling, as if The Abyss is peering back.

Natural Resources

The major resource extracted from The Abyss is Novus Energy. It is something that can be senses as well as manipulated by spellcasters just like magic, however, it reacts differently to matter, as it tends to corrupt physical materials into a viscous black and crimson substance. (Note: this substance is very similar to the residue excreted from fully formed Novus Demons.)
Novus Energy is generally kept inside a Spellshard crystal due to the crystal's suppressing capabilities.
