The void beyond madness. Ultimate negation. The Far Realm. Descriptions used by scholars and wizards which, in truth, mean nothing, because nothing is what they know. The state of unreality called the Far Realm surrounds all that which exists, unseen, and fortunately for existence, unseeing.
About
The Far Realm was the term used to describe the state of non-existence first discovered through horrible experiments conducted in the depths of an ancient temple deep in the heart of the Geyser Greenwood. No one knows to what insane god this temple was supposedly dedicated, nor which people performed their obscene rituals, but a surviving scrap of a diary described how a rift in reality was torn, and what lay beyond was a sickening, starry void filled with twisting tentacular entities, miles-long limbs covered in eyes and mouths, screaming in a silent cacophony of madness. The barely decipherable scrawling about the incident was clearly written by someone who had lost their mind. But a spark of logic survived enough for the phrase "the far realm" to be clear.
It's unknown how this document made it out of the temple and into civilized lands. But at some point after the first Infernal Emergence stories of the lost temple and its evil legacy began to spread. More than one expedition sent to find the temple was lost without trace, and eventually the topic fell into obscurity, known only to those whose desire for esoteric knowledge exceeded their wisdom.
