Astara (A-sta-ra)
The Astral Realm
Astara, also called the astral realm or the astral world, is a plane of existence postulated by classical, medieval, oriental, and esoteric philosophies and mystery religions. All of these different medium of knowledge does however share one thing in common amongst all of them and that's that Astara is something worse than hell. Even many of the Chaos Gods sees Astara as place that only should be forgotten about and thrown away. Astara contains the last of the evil Astral Titans, known as the Ruinous Powers, that plot their return and the destruction of Eastrix. These beings of absolute chaos make up the chaotic empty dead-space that is Astara.
However a few "bigger buildings and temples" was described to have been seen by Krakhaus. He described them as having a bizarre architecture likened to 4 dimensional geometry that hampers exploration and escape. At one point, Krakhaus claimed to have seen one of the "buildings" eating a part of floating debris. He described it as: "It (The debris) was swallowed up by an angle of masonry which shouldn't have been there; an angle which was acute, but behaved as if it were obtuse". Rather than having science expand its boundaries to include these genuine horrifying and puzzling phennoma through brand new theories, many wizard circles have chosen to take a vow of silence and abstain from futher exploring this part of the Multiverse. Thus, science is not so much embracing the supernatural as reducing it to a manifestation of the psykosis. History records tell of Krakhaus' decent into madness after having this visit, screaming about the Great Old Ones as though he had conversed with an entity in Astara.
The Unspoken Realm
Whilst there are no official records of Astara, it has been recorded that Astara was once visted by Wizard known as Krakhaus Phlanx. These records are fairly descriptive and has very few copies of them left. They go by the name the "Krakhaus Record". Krakhaus described Astara as a barren place of other-dimensional nothingness and beings extending in all directions. What little solid substance that floated in the bright, gray void was typically chunks of matter broken off from their original plane. The Astral had no gravity but objects did retain their mass so you could throw small items or push off from large objects to move in the weightless environment.

The King of Chaos
A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline that was clad in yellow that is the only description Krakhaus gave the one creature he claims to have seen. He commented later on what happened from the movement he made eye contact with set creature. He stated that: "And I looked upon the Thing and I wept tears of blood, for I knew my land, my people, my very world was dead". From that moment one on, Krakhaus went to scrach out his eyes and leave society to live alone. No one knows what happened from there on out as the records ends there.
This creature has been concluded to be some kind of leader of the Astral Titans, as there are fairly detailed descriptions of what the Astral Titans looks like physically and how they might manifest themselves in the mind of mortals. These documents can be found in Clairikajro. But out of all the creatures that lurk on the fringes of existence, this one has never been found or described. A humanoid looking man clad in yellow. With his presence and else where secrecy many scholars have speculated that this creature in fact is some kind of leader.
A quote on Astara from Garry Berry Hart, a world-renowned tourist guide:"The very fabric of Eastrix is at play when one comments on the world of Astara. Truely it is the void of the universe."
