Location from Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
A liminal void beyond the dungeon's boundaries — the realm of the Nothing that leaks into the deepest floors as Scolopendra stirs and the Primal Engine destabilizes.
Sheol is the term for the void-realm associated with the Nothing — the existential threat that lurks beyond the boundaries of the dungeon and the Primal Engine's containment. As the System AI goes primal and Scolopendra awakens on the eighteenth floor, the Nothing begins leaking into the dungeon's deepest levels, threatening to unravel the entire structure. Sheol represents the ultimate consequence of the Syndicate's manipulation of primal technology — a reminder that the forces underlying the dungeon are far older and more dangerous than the corporations exploiting them. The relationship between Sheol, the Primal Engine, and Scolopendra remains one of the crawl's deepest mysteries.
An absence rather than a place — a creeping void of anti-existence that seeps through cracks in the dungeon's deepest structures. Where it touches, reality unravels. It manifests as encroaching darkness that dissolves matter and meaning alike.
