The Seventh Ring

---

The Slumber Centre is the place
where Yarnakth speaks to itself —
and does not answer.

A ring not visibly planned,
but sleep-grown.

Its paths unfold like neural traces
in a dreaming mind;
its buildings are part real,
part memory,
part premonition.

“Here, even light forgets where it came from.”

Distinct Features:

• Architecture of Drowsing:
  Walls made of storing fabric, windows of slowly yellowing notions.
  Everything is soft — but not comforting.
  Sleep pillars pulse with monotonous rhythm.
• The Thoughtshadow:
  No one walks here alone —
  one's own mind casts a shadow of questions
  never asked.
• Access to Fjharn’Zhûl:
  In the deeper layers of the Slumber Centre lie
  sealed stairways,
  crawling chasms,
  whispering shafts.
  No entrance to Fjharn’Zhûl is visible —
  but you are drawn there if you stay too long.
• Zones of Halfsense:
  Chambers that store the dreams of other beings.
  Towers that only appear when no one is looking.
  Sound-shadows imitating songs from Fjharn’Zhûl —
  and creating new fear in the process.

Relation to the Outer Rings: The Slumber Centre is not the core of power —
but the core of lost awareness.
It has no acolytes,
no guards,
no order.

It only has layers —
and beneath them:

Fjharn’Zhûl.

“Those who dream deep enough
find no images —
only crocheted patterns of fear.”
