The Lost Record is one of the three major afterlives in Reality, serving the purpose of housing the Lost - those deceased souls who have been forgotten by all mortals. To these unfortunate existences, this place is a purgatory. The Lost are condemned to wander the realm, forever tortured by the agonising desire to be remembered once more.

This grey realm of decay and illusion is also home to the enigmatic beings called Phantoms, feared for their ability to interact with other worlds despite having no corporeal forms. Since they cannot be physically harmed, these entities are considered to be nuisances even by the all-powerful Old Ones - at least those among them that have no direct access to this realm.

The appearance of the Lost Record is personalised and resembles different worlds depending on the viewer and the dimensions in which they exist.

Much like other descendants of the Flow of Reality, the Lost Record hath an exceptionally rapid flow of time, outpacing that of even the most ancient worlds by a magnitude of trillions. This is an intentional feature of its design, as it must be able to accurately mirror all changes in the states of the mortal realms of Reality.
