Cube of Pandemonium

“Absence is no escape.”

A relic of chaotic design and unknowable origin, the Cube of Pandemonium is a mysterious magical construct that silently follows the adventuring party, hovering just out of reach like a faithful but unsettling pet. Crafted from blackened adamantine and etched with shifting infernal runes, the cube pulses with low, maddening energy.

Whenever a party member becomes unable to join the group's journey, their character is drawn into the Cube, vanishing from the material world in a blink. Within, they are cast into an ever-changing realm of screaming winds and endless war — the borderlands of Pandemonium itself. There, they must battle through infernal skirmishes, chaos-twisted legions, and labyrinthine nightmares until their player is able to return. Only then are they released, often battered, wild-eyed… and stronger in strange, unspoken ways.

Some say time flows differently inside the Cube. Others whisper that the longer one remains within, the harder it becomes to leave. Whatever the truth, one thing is certain:

The Cube is never empty.
