Tenebrae Aeterna
First Post
Well, It's possible that the Far Realms are a product of sentient life within the physical world. The first seed of madness within reality may have given birth to the Far Reams by placing a sort of corruption into the dreamscape. Additional cases of insanity would have then furthered this corruption while it may have, simultaneously, started infecting others through night terrors. Eventually, it may have then became so prominent that it's power permitted true manifestation...thus the Far Reams was born.
The unfathomable aspect associated to the Far Realms and its inhabitants can then easily be explained by the fact that it's completely composed of the coalesced madness from countless different races. This would then mean that it's in a state of constant fluctuation dependent upon which species makes up the majority of the insane. With this in mind, we can look towards the demons of the Abyss as the main contributors to the Far Realms existence...immortal beings who are, in a sense, very insane by our terminology. This explains why the majority of the Far Realms inhabitants could be considered malevolent and why those who invade have such a similar methodology to the demons of the Abyss themselves. The vast intelligence of the higher beings within the Far Reams is explained because they are formed from the very minds of intelligent beings...countless intelligent beings.
Throw that all together and you have an existence that's explainable, but impossible to understand because it's constantly changing and composed of an unfathomable amount of different mental variations mashed together and tethered only by madness. Think of the Far Realms as the collective consciousness of every insane sentient being in existence...and every entity spawned by it a product of that maelstrom of thought.
To understand them, not only do you have to understand the psyche of every sentient being within existence...but you have to understand every variation of madness that can arise from these vastly different psyches and every variation that can arise from every potential combination of these various psyches...thus making it impossible.
Granted, someone may have said similar previously.
