Boulevard of Alternate Brutalities
The Boulevard of Alternate Brutalities was a gap in reality where Faction Paradox kept countless individuals imprisoned in small realities tailored to punish them for their crimes. The realities were connected by a street composed of a million different bits and pieces of roadways taken moments before their destruction. The Boulevard existed near the end of the universe. (PROSE: Library Pictures, The Shape of Things)
While the Boulevard was mainly used by the Faction to imprison members of their own order who had "gone bad", (PROSE: Library Pictures) it was also used as "a dumping ground by a thousand races". (PROSE: The Shape of Things) The Boulevard was designed by the Faction, but created by the Carpathians. (PROSE: The Shape of Things, Library Pictures)
