LIMINAL ARCHIVES
Welcome to the Liminal Archives, the primary global database of the strange and uncanny locations that blur the line between real and unreal. The Archivists are the brave souls who venture into the unknown, risking death or worse, to study liminality, observe how liminal spaces operate, and gather data to bring back and add to the Archives.
With danger awaits adventure, and with the unknown, discovery. Study the Archives, learn the unknown, and eventually, explore them yourself.

This is the Frontier, also known as the Halls. It is sometimes claimed that the Halls were the first discovered Limspace, but it is still far from the most understood. It's nothing but endless rooms, driving you to a state of stupefaction like saying a word over and over and over until it loses all meaning.
Survival is achievable if you carefully prepare for the regions you traverse.
Know the time periods and avoid standing out; bringing items to where they have yet to be invented may elicit witch hunts, mob lynching or similar.
It is absolutely crucial to avoid regions whose present year is approaching the current year of Baseline Reality.
Amidst the starless skies, the lone Tower remains.
A vertical contraption that stretches dozens of kilometers up and down, with each of its ends lost in the dark emptiness that surrounds it. Half-machine and half-living, its many air pipes breathe calmly, mechanical components regularly pulsing in a uniform rhythm.
Although its exterior made of contracting and expanding metallic plates was once painted, what little colour remains can barely be seen in the hostile white lighting the Tower exudes.
A sea of scalding water and fleeting life, The Boiling Sea is composed of an incredibly large sea of saltwater with stilt cities scattered atop the surface, with no discernable end.
20 meters below, however, there is a rich seafloor comprised of rocks, sand, various metals, and concrete. Spread throughout this seafloor are holes of differing sizes that are up to 10,000 meters deep.
The sea's effects make traveling on the water for extended periods difficult, with the only way to traverse the sea safely is by boat. Fortunately, there are abandoned boats scattered throughout The Boiling Sea's environment.
An endless complex fractal system of bridges suspended over flat, dark plains, obscured by a thick mist.
At junctions where ten bridges meet, strange structures can be found - the only structures in this place that aren't damn bridges.
Deemed 'shrines' after my second visit due to the large amounts of inscriptions and symbols written on their outer surface, they appear to be modified pyramidal domes carved of oily, black stone, set upon squared bases.
