Shroud

The Shroud, as recalled from the Xyn. Note its highly ethereal, almost heaven-esque qualities, such as an abundance of clouds, open skies and vast beauty.

The Shroud is the conscious location in which the Xyn psionically slumber in a state of mass-species dormancy. It is incredibly unknown, yet the Xyn maintain that its existence is real and parallel to the reality we experience with the senses. For the past 6,000 or so years, the Xyn were 'asleep' within the Shroud, after an event whereby the Xyn entered the Shroud during the Galactic Era of Struggle.

Xyn are known to experience the borderline of an alternative reality within the Shroud, living never-ending lives. The passage of time is unknown within the Shroud.

Such experiences of alternative lives leads to much of the knowledge the Xyn had on the galaxy and its events 6,000 years ago, supposedly, 'difficult to discern from dream'.
