The Dark World

The Dark World is the world into which the dead things from all previous/other worlds are dumped. This is the world that John says he was bound to the book in, and the world in which he spent countless lifetimes.

Description

John is surprised by the trees in Arkham, which implies that the Dark World has a distinct lack.

The Dark World "thrives on fear", the land itself seeming to exist to only cause pain. It "feeds those with a voracious mind".
