Blind Eternities
The chaotic void between planes, traversed only by Planeswalkers.
The Blind Eternities are the vast, chaotic void that exists outside and between all known planes of the Multiverse depicted on Magic: The Gathering cards, novels, comics, and other products. The Multiverse itself is the shared fictional universe of countless possible worlds (planes), and rare beings called Planeswalkers are uniquely capable of traversing it without external aid. The Blind Eternities serve as the medium through which Planeswalkers travel, a dimension of raw, unfiltered mana and swirling energy where conventional time and space lose meaning.

Lore & Background
The source does not provide a detailed history of the Blind Eternities. It does not mention the Eldrazi titans being imprisoned there, the creation of new planes from a vacuum, or the shattering of the Blind Eternities by a Phyrexian invasion. The source focuses on the Multiverse as a whole and the history of how Magic storylines were conceived and deployed, not on the specific nature or events of the Blind Eternities. Therefore, no specific lore about the Blind Eternities can be stated as strictly true based on the provided source.
In Their Own Story
The source does not contain any narrative or story about the Blind Eternities. It does not mention Kaya, Kaladesh, or any specific Planeswalker's experience of traveling through the void. The source discusses the creative origins and publication history of Magic: The Gathering storylines, but provides no first-person or third-person accounts of traversing the Blind Eternities.
Reader's Guide
The source does not provide a guide to the Blind Eternities. It does not describe the void's function as a structural backbone, the nature of its mana, philosophical concepts, or list famous users. The source is limited to the history of how Magic's narrative was developed and published, and does not detail the properties or usage of the Blind Eternities themselves.
