The Hieronymus Continuum is a Dreamrealm in the Far or Deep Dreaming said, by some, to be the birthplace of the Nockers.
Overview[]
Some say this realm gets its name from Hieronymus J. Continuum, the first and greatest of the Nocker Aethernauts. Others say it has been given the name because the realm looks like a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Either way, it is an indisputably dangerous place; a realm of pure mechanical invention. The Aethernauts believe it may be Plato's realm of ideal forms.
The realm's actual appearance and dimensions are a subject of much debate among nocker physicists. Some legends hold that the first nockers came from this Dreamrealm and traveled to Earth in a giant mechanical egg. Few nockers support this tale, privately recognizing Arcadia as their true home, but almost all of them will whip out the tale like a switchblade in an argument as "proof" of their superiority to the other fae. Some claim the continuum is more than just another dreamrealm but is part of an altogether different dimension that exists outside the Dreaming in a fold of the space-time continuum. Nockers who have reached this realm and returned always do so with profound insights into invention. The only known way to reach it is through rift anomalies in the Far Dreaming and with a Delta-Wave Helmet.
