The Far Realm is a plane of madness situated outside of the Sphere of Edras. This maddening realm is feared for its power to twist unfortunate visitors into gruesome monsters, and it is from here that aberrations come. There is little known about the impossible geometry behind this extradimensional space, though some have delved deep enough to bring back fragments of lore.
Both gravity and time are absent in the Far Realm, and instead of the normal rules of physics, the Far Realm is composed of an infinite array of translucent layers that seemingly meld into each other. Inhabitants of the Far Realm can pass from one layer to another simply by willing it, and landmarks—encompassing everything from alien seascapes to forests of giant floating tentacles—might stretch across multiple layers. Chances are, travelers to the Far Realm will be flummoxed by the place’s strange geometry, only comprehending bits and pieces of lifeforms and landmasses depending on which layer they stand on.
The Elder Evils that dwell in its infinite darkness are hinted at in whispered breaths as “beings set apart from what mortals consider reality,” as well as the masters behind the sinister heralds of doom known as star spawns. Usually incapable of leaving the Far Realm, the Elder Evils’ influence leaks out into the worlds of the Material Plane, often influencing the actions of power-hungry cultists.
