Liminal Walker

Liminal Walker by Mochi

Wandering the Silent Halls are liminal walkers. They prowl these spaces between realms, stalking anything getting lost in these liminal spaces.

Liminal walkers wander silently in these hallways. Their gooey, melting flesh leaves a stinking trail wherever they wander, which slowly causes the ground they shuffle on to warp and distort.

The presence of these monsters can be felt throughout the Yonderverse. If you are feeling a sense of anxiety, claustrophobia, or stress for seemingly no reason, these creatures are closing in on you.

Your body begins to split into two - one half is left as a husk, endlessly wandering the world you used to live in, while the other half is brought to the Silent Halls.

Liminal Walkers don't move very fast, simply walking at a fast pace is enough to stay ahead of them. That being said, they know every corridor and every pathway in the Silent Halls, and often work as groups. When they close in, a bony red hand reaches out from underneath the flaps and folds of flesh, dragging you underneath the writhing masses. You have now become your own liminal walker, ready to prey on your next victim.

Existence

I kept hearing this heart beat. Thud. Thud. Thud. Wherever I went, I kept hearing it.   It started driving me insane. I kept turning corridors, bursting through doors, climbing through vents, just to try and escape the heart beat that was piercing my brain. Every so often I would run into one of those monsters following me. The heart beat would grow stronger, and louder.   It seemed to be following my own heart.

It is unknown what malevolent deity must have created these horrific beings. They are not naturally occurring, but rather a manifestation of evil forces. Unfortunately, so many liminal walkers exist now that wiping them out is impossible. Very few people have managed to explore the Silent Halls and return unscathed.

Those that have returned spoke of faint specks of light guiding them through the eerie hallways. Some reported faint humming sounds in the walls, and something similar to a heartbeat.

AMAZING! I love the dark vibes although I'd prefer not to meet one of these creatures. They remind me a little of Harry Potter dementors who haunted me as a kid. I loved the small prose at the end the most <3

Worldember is finally here!! Here is my pledge!

Oooh! I've never watched HP, but I'm vaguely familiar with dementors. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed the article! :D <3

They are terrifying, I love it. I don't even know what to add, this article was smooth to read, spooky from start to end, and makes you want to stay as far from the Silent Halls as possible

Thank you so much! I hope to expand on this realm, lots more spooky to be had :D

Creepy horror, fantastic. Also the fact that they work together and basically on description are like pursuit predators, like us, where i'm not faster than you but I will just keep following you until you drop, is horrific. I love it.

Okay, so what the heck are those silent halls and what is there that is so amazing that anyone would risk meeting those freaky creatures? There better be something really amazing to get from the Silent Halls …

Enjoy Worldember 2025!

Now that's properly creepy. Love the concept of the Silent Halls. Liminal horror is just a really interesting thing, when it is connected to sci fi or fantasy settings, in my opinion.

At the end of everything, hold onto anything.

Thank you so much! I agree, it's really interesting! I am so happy I finally incorporated some of that into my world :D
