The Umbral Plane
The realm of Umbra: a hungering void beyond Meliora, long kept apart from the world and reached since the Gloaming through portals of gloom.

Description
The Umbral Plane is the dimension of Umbra, the opposite of Meliora. In Abigail's words the two were always separate, neither ever touching the other. Those who have stood within it describe a void that seems to hunger, and its crystals and portals have crossed into Meliora ever since the Gloaming.
Historical context
Abigail sought out the Umbral Plane in her ritual during the war of the dead, and through her Umbra reached the world. In the Dark Times portals onto the plane opened along the Rend, and Aurelius warned that unless the spread of Umbra was stopped, the whole world would be consumed by its void.
