* ''Night Horrors: The Unbidden'' is supposed to be a catalogue of this. And it works quite well, with something for everyone. Mad mages, enchantments gone wrong, gruesome creatures of living magic, malevolent ghosts, corrupt spells, and more.
* Everything in the Anima Mundi. ''Everything''. '''''EVERYTHING'''''.
** The Omphalos, which is essentially a combination of an astral roadblock and warning sign indicating that metaphysical shit is about to get real. Breathing in the mists surrounding it causes you to become conversationally fluent in the High Speech - ''which shouldn't be possible, because the language is metaphysically broken''.
** The Spire Perilous, which was the original connection between human subjectivity and the soul of the world. The collapse of the Celestial Ladder severely damaged it, and one of the [[AngelUnaware Aeons]] is attempting to finish it off.
** The Swath, the ''other'' connection humanity has made with the Anima Mundi - representing [[GaiasLament how badly we've screwed up the world's ecosystems]]. Every mage who was inside it on the day of the [[NukeEm Trinity test]] got radiation burns.
** The Dreaming Earth, which is pretty much ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. The dreams are not happy ones.
** The Sidereal Wastes, in which you slowly begin to realise that the soul of the world is not just the soul of the planet Earth. It's literally the soul of the universe itself.
** The Whorl, in which things stop being merely ominous and start to get ''[[RealityIsOutToLunch plain weird]]''. The completion of a specific action - walking a mile, crafting a sword, reading a book - occurs [[SlidingScaleOfTurnRealism instananeously from all external perspectives]] (including the real world), while taking the expected amount of time from the perspective of the person undertaking it - and once you've started doing something, you can't stop until it's finished. If you're not careful, you can [[TimeAbyss accidentally end up living several subjective lifespans]]. Or... [[AndIMustScream significantly longer]], if you decided to do something stupid like "walk to the astral reflection of Alpha Centauri on foot".
** The Citadels of the Aeons. Some of them live in castles built to resemble a giant in the fetal position, dying of starvation. One is a braindead king with two dragons growing from his shoulders. And then there's the [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant The Other, Ambassador to the Abyss]]. There is something ''very wrong'' with the Other.
