History

Origin[]

The Archipelago of Anguish and Redemption is a collection of dimensions reachable from Earth.

Early years[]

The Dark Dimension was once a single massive plane, but was shattered into many planes during a conflict long ago.[2] The largest remaining piece became known as the Dark Dimension. Its status as the largest and most aggressive dimension allowed it to successfully conquer and assimilate many of the Splinter Realms into itself, using mystic means to merge into a single domain, a synthesis of realities.[5]

Before a passage could be found through the Winding Way and into the Archipelago, Raggadorr was thought for centuries to be as far as a mortal wizard could travel without sleeping, dying, or being subjected so some sort of mystical transformation.[1]

Bird-Men on Sephiroth[]

Upon arriving on the Planes of Sephiroth, after their banishment from Earth by Oshtur, the Winged Lord of Akah Ma'at's opposing factions of the Asura and the Seraphim secured an uneasy peace and built together the Citadels of Sephiroth, to serve as a line of defense against creatures from the Dark Dimension that would invade the Lower Realms.[6]
