|Introduction='''Noirra''' is the primordial realm of darkness, a vast and unknowable expanse that exists outside the physical world of [[Adaris]]. Unlike realms bound to the continent, Noirra is a self-contained world, a place where darkness is not mere absence but a tangible, living force.

Noirra is not lifeless—it is shaped by those who live within it, but never fixed.
