Treatise on Their Nature
Author: Various
An excerpt from The Wainwright Manuscript
Place/Gathering Discovered: A madman's library or some other such type location Date: 6/22/1023 Transcribed by: Omri Azar Although much study has been devoted to the subject in certain scholarly circles, there are very few publicly available texts on The Spaces In Between and what few there are ultimately write them off as a curiosity that is more trouble than it is worth to explore and thus has no real value. Viewed as a whole, it becomes clear that the majority of available texts all borrow heavily from the most famous of them, known simply as The White Book. While the identity of the author of The White Book has been lost to time, they appear to have had a deep understanding of The Spaces In Between and even claimed to have known several methods of entering them beyond the commonly accepted four methods still in use today, although maddeningly they only hint at what those methods are. Indeed, much of The White Book reads like the diary of an individual who is either too miserly or paranoid to impart all they know, only giving hints and allusions to how The Spaces In Between can be accessed and used, as well as what resides within them. The anonymous author of The White Book did have a few moments where they were more generous with their readers, however - one of them being their definition of The Spaces In Between: From page 23 of The White Book: "How best to define The Spaces In Between, then? They can best be described as both an interstitial and liminal space that lies between all things and outside the reach of what are commonly referred to as gods. While not always contiguous, The Spaces In Between are nevertheless all connected and it is possible, albeit difficult, to travel the entirety of them although the cost of doing such would likely be too great even if the denizens weren't inclined to prevent you from doing so." The author goes on to explain their belief that The Spaces In Between were created to be a prison of sorts, but in The Fruited Vine, Hallek disputes this claim, stating his belief that they were instead a natural occurrence that was later colonized by reclusive entities. |
