Introduction

Woncu is the primordial realm of darkness, a vast expanse that exists outside the physical world of Adaris. Woncu is a place where darkness is a tangible force. Within Woncu, light does not exist, there is no sun, no stars, only the shifting of shadow.

Etymology

Woncu is the native word for "nightfall."

History

Woncu was formed when Náiluv, the primordial spirit of darkness, emerged from the Primordial Void. As the counterpart to Qaaniguaq, the realm of light.

Geography

Woncu is a world without light. Those who dwell here do not navigate by sight, but through a sense of reverberations.

Climate

Woncu has no sun, moon, or weather in the traditional sense.

Notable settlements

Though light does not exist in Woncu, civilization thrives without it. The sophants of Woncu do not see in the way mortals do; instead, they perceive through vibration, sound, movement, and presence, making their cities and structures alien to those accustomed to sight.
