Introduction

Noirra is the primordial realm of darkness, a vast and unknowable expanse that exists outside the physical world of Adaris. Noirra is a place where darkness is a tangible, living force. Within Noirra, light does not exist, there is no sun, no stars, only the eternal shifting of shadow, silence, and unseen movement.

History

Noirra was formed when Arafia, the primordial spirit of darkness, emerged from the Primordial Void. As the counterpart to Aurelion, the realm of light.

Geography

Noirra is a world unlike any other—without light, its geography is known only through presence, form, and movement. Those who dwell here do not navigate by sight, but through a deep awareness of shifting shadows, distant reverberations, and the subtle stirrings of unseen forces.

Climate

Noirra has no sun, moon, or weather in the traditional sense, but that does not mean it is without change. The realm has its own cycles, currents, and movements. Noirra moves in unseen cycles, where the density of shadows thickens and thins, creating waves of deeper blackness and open voids.

Notable settlements

Though light does not exist in Noirra, civilization thrives without it. The beings of Noirra 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.

• Vaerithis, the City Without Form – A metropolis of fluid architecture, where structures are shaped from living shadow and shift over time.
• Nyvoss, the Silent Citadel – A vast fortress built into the heart of Noirra’s deepest void, where the most ancient beings of darkness dwell in meditation.
• Elessath, the Veiled Crossing – A border-realm between Noirra and Adaris, believed to be a place where the barriers between worlds are thin. Some Arasiari claim to have stepped into Noirra through its unseen gates.
