Blind Eternities
The chaotic void between planes, traversed only by Planeswalkers.
The Blind Eternities are the vast, chaotic void that exists outside and between all known planes of the Multiverse depicted on Magic: The Gathering cards, novels, comics, and other products. The Multiverse itself is the shared fictional universe of countless possible worlds (planes), and rare beings called Planeswalkers are uniquely capable of traversing it without external aid. The Blind Eternities serve as the medium through which Planeswalkers travel, a dimension of raw, unfiltered mana and swirling energy where conventional time and space lose meaning.
