The void of the Hollow Expanse is illuminated by the endless portals that are scattered throughout - connection the numerous planes directly to the Expanse. These portals act as the sole way of traveling in and out of the Expanse, and as such are often times patrolled by Fringe Lurkers. 

Fringe Lurkers float and patiently wait for a weary merchant ...

Many different creatures exist out in the nothingness, but one of the most dangerous are the Veshnik. 

This hostile race are a hybridization of mechanics and undead flesh, and view themselves as "the perfect form of life".  They travel the Hollow Expans...
