A Pocket Realm is a fractured space where reality has folded in on itself—an isolated layer of existence caught between Savannah and what lies beyond the Veil. These spaces are not separate worlds, but splinters of our own, formed when telluric energy, memory, and supernatural force collide with enough intensity to distort the natural order.
They often emerge in places heavy with history or trauma—sites where the “stone tape” of the city has been overwritten, corrupted, or forced open. When this happens, a piece of reality can shear away, creating a contained environment that exists alongside the physical world but no longer fully obeys it.
Inside a pocket realm, the rules are unstable.
Time may loop, stall, or fracture
Space can distort, expand, or collapse in impossible ways
Memories imprint as physical structures or repeating events
Entities may appear that are bound to the realm’s creation or drawn to it
These realms are sustained by energy, telluric flow, taint, or will. Without that anchor, they eventually decay, collapse, or bleed back into reality, often violently.
Pocket realms form where the Veil has thinned, been pierced, or manipulated. They are not the Veil itself, but a byproduct of its failure. In many cases, they act like pressure pockets containing something that reality cannot properly process or release.
Passing into one requires more than physical movement. It demands the ability to perceive, breach, or align with the Veil. This is why only certain individuals, those attuned to spirit, blood, or telluric flow, can reliably enter or exit without becoming trapped.
Pocket realms are dangerous, but they are also revealing.
They often hold:
The truth of what happened in a place
Objects or artifacts tied to the event that created them
Entities bound to unfinished cycles (spirits, banes, or worse)
