The Astral Realm is the location of the Camp Endeavorance Campgrounds. It is unknown how we got here, but here we are.
The Astral Realm exists in its own plane, separate from the one most humans may be familiar with. Time and space are both mostly unknowable to us, and it gets heavily distorted once a certain distance away from the Astral Campfire.
There has been scattered hints of other “civilizations” living within proximity to this blue glowing campfire, each with their own seeming “age” of time. We refer to these as Astral Ages, and the information we have gleaned from these other civilizations has helped us greatly understand certain properties of the Campfire, the Camgrounds themselves, and some of the Astral Travelers who can be found in the surrounding space that is Camp.
It is believed that the Astral Realm exists outside of time and space, in some epicenter of consciousness. Beings come and go as needed, returning to their planes in their own time to experience life and the universe.
The Astral Realm is 100% fueled by Vibes. While the forever folding nature of the plane creates a baseline vibe, it is through process of mixing with positive vibes of the denizens within the plane that provide an appropriate level of Chill, allowing everyone to coexist.
Time in the Astral Realm works quite differently than it does on Earth. For one, time does not proceed linearly. One minute after 8:47 will not necessarily be 8:48. Additionally, time can sometimes be negative or well past 24 hours in one day. We are still determining what effects this has on Campers, but for now, we're just kinda accepting it.
