Detritus

Detritus is a demiplane of Oblivion ruled by Hollowjack. It is a realm filled with untold horrors befitting the Fear Lord.

Geography

The slua

Detritus is a well-partitioned plane, as its name might suggest. Detritans call their major regions "cumuli." One cumulus is distinct from another if travel between them would require a feat of magic. Though there may be infinitely many cumuli, there are finitely many that are suitably-sized for population.

In each cumulus, there is one or more "ort," which may be thought of like islands. Orts of the same cumulus may be traversable by ordinary individuals, but such connections are categorically tenuous and treacherous. Making matters more complicated is the slua, which fills the void between and beyond the orts of the known cumuli.

Detritus also features an exceptional array of non-elementary geometries. Depending on the cumulus and ort, space itself may seem to be warped in places, seeming too confined or too expansive. It may require more or fewer right turns to return to an initial position. Straight paths may loop together in unexpected ways. The effect can be quite pronounced, sometimes even causing nausea by mere perception.

Cumuli

The Strange

Pooka, a resident of the Strange

The Strange is a forested cumulus and possibly the largest cumulus of Detritus. It features a hyperbolic geometry to moderate effect, making the space feel more vast and harder to traverse than it might appear.

The Strange is home to Pooka.

Penance

An arboreal region of Penance

Penance is an inhospitable cumulus full of daedra and misery. It features a subtle toroidal geometry and has only one ort. The Seat of Detritus, the personal bastion of Lord Hollowjack, is rumored to be found in Penance.

The Zheken Humustra

A crypt in the Zheken Humustra

The Zheken Humustra are a cumulus of graveyards, tombs, crypts, and sites of mass demise. Each of its orts is quite small, but there are many of them, possibly more than any other cumulus. It features a nearly elementary spacial geometry.

Slurryrot Bog

Slurryrot Bog is a cumulus of bogs, swamps, and mires. It features primarily a pronounced cylindrical geometry with the occasional anomaly dividing it into many orts.

The Estate

The Estate is a claustrophobic series of rooms. The spacial geometry in the Estate is pronounced and chaotic, which contributes to its infuriatingly labyrinthine layout. It is unknown if there is more than one ort in the Estate, though there certainly are doors which open into the slua, through some of which another door can be seen. It is possible that such cases are separations between orts or something like a strait between masses of the same ort.

The Amusement Faire

The Amusement Fair is a small cumulus of only one ort with an unending carnival. It features pronounced spherical geometry.

The Incarceratorium

The Incarceratorium is a cumulus of prisons and asylums. It features an elementary spacial geometry with some major anomalies.

The Abjuration

Every year, during the Witches Festival, portals to Nirn open, spreading forth Detritan miscellany.
