Jikku

The Jikku (Jikkū, literally "Dark Country") is the mid-plane of darkness, where corrupt souls from the Universe go when they die. The entire plane is filled with black, grey, and violet hued spirit sand, and magenta cliffs. The sky is red in the daytime, and dark purple at night, with multicolored Will O' Wisps dotting the skyline. No sun or moon marks the passage of day or night, but the Chrono-ku strikes the Accursed Bell Tower every 35 hours to transition from night to day, and vice versa.

Notable locales

 * The Crypt of Ruin is a large burial crypt with grey sepulchers and sarcophaguses. It was the location of the Battle of Thames Zweihander, and served as the throne of the Elder Kings with only one throne being intact, the Throne of Titans. Upon sitting on the throne, one could peer into the entire Jikku at once, gaining wisdom and foresight on the realm's inner workings.
 * The Accursed Bell Tower is a large violet cobblestone tower with a glowing yellow bell at its top, that is struck to change the realm from night to day or day to night. The Chrono-ku typically performs this function. Every 700 years a new Chrono-ku is selected from the pool of corrupted souls. When chosen, the soul gains a grotesque gargoyle-like body, and mallets for hands. It is considered a curse to be chosen as the Chrono-ku, and most souls avoid going near the bell tower.
