IANON

In an unknown ancient language 'ianon' means 'nothingness', 'nowhere', 'an empty space'. This dimension lies between other dimensions, a so-called 'in-between world', that was created as soon as portals were. ‘Where do people go when they get stuck in a magic portal?’ Well, this is where they go. 
Some say that ianon is alive, that it has it's own mind, and only the ones that the world has chosen can enter or exit. However, people found a way to travel in and out anyway… or did they? The bigger ianon becomes, the more players in it's wicked game it wants…

Villages were built in the most stable parts of ianon, this world is a place for the most desperate outcasts and criminals to hide now. Apart from them, lost souls inhibit the in-between world. Someone’s shadows, ghosts, pieces of energy, magic leftovers… aaaand mysterious invisible wild creatures that can only be noticed by their shadows. This world wouldn’t exist without people, people would gladly exist without it.
There are different kinds of the ‘chosen ones’. Ones can go in and out at will, others can go in and can't go out, and of course, those who just get uncontrollably sucked in and out - ianon's favorites. 

How does ianon looks like? It exists on its own, it is the ‘nowhere' itself. Mostly it looks like a grey, surreal wasteland. Less stable regions are unpredictable and can be literally anything. Nothing really makes sense there, the laws of nature don’t work there…This is ianon.
