Gate of the Feral Gods

The source of the winding box that, broken and blood-soaked, now forms a permanent portal into the Nothing.

Story so far

The winding box recovered from the Gate of the Feral Gods is now broken and blood-soaked, and in that state it holds open a permanent portal into The Nothing.

Juice Box used that portal to flee The Ninth Floor, and moments later Justice Light used it to drop the Bijou Trap and The Demon Trap through — the act that broke the Nothing.

Role

The origin of the artifact that becomes the permanent doorway into the Nothing.

Relationships

The Winding Box — Taken from it, now the portal into the Nothing.
The Nothing — Reachable through the box that came from this gate.
