The Outer Void represents the boundary of the known multiverse, a frontier that verges on the enigmatic and unfathomable Far Realm. It is the outermost layer of the cosmos, enveloping the Outer Planar Region and marking the threshold to realms beyond comprehension.

In this expansive void, the fabric of reality begins to fray, and the laws of physics and magic as understood in the inner planes start to unravel. The Outer Void is characterized by an overwhelming emptiness, a vast expanse of darkness that dwarfs even the isolation of the Inner Void Belt. This region is devoid of the structured planes and demiplanes found elsewhere, existing instead as a near-infinite vacuum that separates the known universe from the chaotic and alien dimensions of the Far Realm.

In the Astral Plane, the Outer Void is perceived as an area of intense desolation and profound silence. The color pools and gates that pepper other parts of the Astral Plane are conspicuously absent here, replaced by a suffocating emptiness. The absence of these features makes navigation nearly impossible, creating a sense of immense isolation and vulnerability for any traveler who ventures too far.

The proximity to the Far Realm imbues the Outer Void with a sense of ominous unpredictability. Unfathomable entities and phenomena from the Far Realm may occasionally bleed into this void, making it a place of both terror and fascination for those who study the mysteries of the cosmos. The Outer Void stands as a stark reminder of the limits of mortal understanding and the vast, unexplored mysteries that lie beyond the known planes of existence.
