Nearer Astral Realm

The Nearer Astral Realm is the part of the Astral Realms that stretches between the High Realms and the Seven Suns.

It is a vast empty space with no breathable air in which it is freezing cold but through which the light of the Seven Suns travel to the Realms.

The Nearer Astral Realm is under the effect of a cosmic folding effect which makes it observably much smaller in its extension than it would be if physically travelled.
