Interregnum

An interregnum in the Clarkwoods Literary Universe is the pause between iterations of reality. This purgatorial period of quasi-reality is the result of The River Without End compressing all of existence into a single point of infinite density in a climactic event called The Calamity.

During each interregnum, all life which survived the aforementioned Calamity reappears on a single super-continent called Eden which is surrounded on all sides by the River Without End.
