Void Margin

The Margin is the space the phryverse doesn't officially include. The coordinate system runs out at a defined edge, and the Margin exists past that — in the space that the map labels as empty because it couldn't be mapped, not because nothing was there.

Existence here is quieter than anywhere else. Not peaceful — quiet in the way that deep space is quiet, which is to say full of signals that have no receiver. The Margin generates things: anomalies, effects without causes, objects that appear without origin. Those who grow up here learn to read the noise. They develop a sensitivity to what's present without being named.

Margin natives tend to be unsettling to others in ways they can't account for. They know things they weren't told. They notice what's absent before they notice what's there. They have a relationship with the unnamed that residents of other worlds find either useful or disturbing, often simultaneously. In the Margin, the edge is not an end — it's just where visibility stops. That's a different thing entirely.
