Introduction
Woncu is the realm of darkness, the realm of Náiluv, the Primordial Spirit of darkness. It lies beside Dalel, opposite Qaaniguaq, the realm of light. No light exists in Woncu, and darkness there is a tangible force.
Etymology
Woncu is the Bušing word for "evening".
History
Darkness has existed since the emergence of Náiluv in the Napadéh. During the Era of Isolation it fell on Dalel but had no place of its own. Woncu formed when Náiluv and Tñarilu drew darkness and light apart, ending the Era of Isolation. It lies on one side of Dalel, opposite Qaaniguaq.
Geography
Woncu is a world without light. Those who live there find their way by sound and reverberation rather than sight.
Climate
Woncu has no sun, moon, or weather in the usual sense.
Native Sophants
Woncu is home to the Nuworno, the warden race of Náiluv, and to other peoples. None of its inhabitants see as the peoples of Dalel do; they perceive through vibration, sound, movement and presence.
Native Spirits
Náiluv dwells in Woncu.
Notable settlements
Woncu has cities. Built by peoples who perceive without sight, their structures are unfamiliar to those accustomed to light.
