Description[]

It is a dark and foggy land, home to immortal beings that are capable of magic. Many of its inhabitants leave, being unhappy with their home or fearing the terrible monsters that sometimes wander near them. As the name suggests, the Abyssal Kingdom is located inside a massive chasm. At the top of said chasm there are a few cities and villages populated by Abyssians; it is, by far, the most enlightened zone of this kingdom. However, this land is devoid of color and everything is shades of black and white. As the chasm descends it turns darker and colder, and the inhabitants are more and more strange and less abundant.

Being a magic land in nature, the Abyssal Kingdom has noticeable effects over strangers. For example, any outsider who wanders in slowly transforms into an Abyssal Thing. Most who wander in are children, implied to be from the real world, and wandered in the same way that she did. This could mean that the Abyssal Kingdom has some sort of "portal" behavior, linking other worlds with Candle Cove.

Creatures or Abyssians will gain colour to their skin when they leave the Abyssal Kingdom and enter Candle Cove, so the nonexistence of color is directly linked to the land within the abyss.

Magic is stronger in the Abyssal Kingdom than in Candle Cove, but the cause for this is unknown. Even being a land that is magical in nature, that does not explain why some spells and powers are stronger than in other equally magical lands. As far as it is known, all creatures in the kingdom are able to do magic, although some of the magic they use is hardly identifiable as such.

Trivia[]

In "A Ship on the Horizon", the Abyssal Kingdom is visited by Janice, who begins turning into an Abyssal Thing until she is rescued by the Skin-Taker.
