Naionia

Naionia is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. It is depicted as a world of profound mystery and ancient magic, existing outside of conventional time and space. Naionia is not a place that can be reached through ordinary travel, but rather through liminal spaces and dreams, often accessed via hidden doors and forgotten passageways. The planet is described as a vast library or repository of stories and knowledge, containing an infinite collection of books that hold the essence of all narratives.

The inhabitants of Naionia are often portrayed as keepers of these stories, beings who dedicate themselves to preserving and understanding the vast collection. Their existence is deeply intertwined with the very fabric of narrative itself. Time on Naionia is fluid and nonlinear, allowing for the simultaneous existence of past, present, and future. The environment is often depicted as twilight or dimly lit, reflecting its ethereal and otherworldly nature. The concept of Naionia serves as a central metaphor within the novel, representing the power of stories to connect individuals, transcend reality, and shape destinies. It is a place of both great wonder and potential danger, where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.
