The Ash is everywhere across the realm tiny particles in the air, in the dust of an old bookshelf. It comes from the volcanoes at the core of the realm. One or more of them are always belching out clouds of it. Some of my coleagues believe that the ash drifts in cycles based on the the attentions of the Cleansing Flame. I can't attest to that, because where the ash is thickest it sometimes moves about on its own.

The Ash is a powerful medium and conduit for magic, often and easily corrupted by the ark practitioners, Demons and the Deep Dark. The ash can be formed and manipulated in to golem, or as a medium for powerful Demons or other entities to effect the realm without fully entering it. The ash can serve as quicksand like pools into pocket dimensions within the realm and purified ash is used in the construction of containers and fabric used to create small portable pocket dimensions as well. Additionally the ash builds up thick enough to form its own malevolent consciousness moving around in a dark pantomime of the life forms and beings around it. The Ash in this form is predatory and hungry engulfing living matter and burning it to an ashen statue that crumbles at a touch.

Random Ash forms and abilities
Ash Storm: The Ash can unleash a swirling storm of ash and debris, obscuring vision and causing damage to those caught within it. This storm can be used both defensively to provide cover and offensively to inflict harm upon adversaries.
Ashen Regeneration: The Ash creature possesses a unique ability to regenerate its form by drawing upon nearby sources of ash. It can rapidly heal wounds and replenish lost mass, making it difficult to defeat through attrition alone.
Soul Absorption: When the Ash engulfs living beings, it can absorb their life force, empowering itself and gaining additional strength or abilities based on the consumed souls. This ability not only enhances its combat prowess but also fuels its dark nature.
Dimensional Rifts: The Ash can tear open temporary dimensional rifts, allowing it to teleport short distances or summon reinforcements from other planes of existence. These rifts are unstable and can collapse at any moment, making them unpredictable but potentially devastating.
Corruptive Aura: The Ash emits a corruptive aura that saps the strength and vitality of nearby living creatures. Prolonged exposure to this aura can weaken opponents and make them more susceptible to the Ash's attacks and influence.
Ethereal Form: The Ash can temporarily transform into an ethereal state, allowing it to pass through solid objects and evade physical attacks. While in this form, it becomes immune to conventional damage but vulnerable to magical or ethereal attacks.
Ashen Projection: The Ash can project its consciousness into nearby objects or creatures, manipulating them to serve its will. This projection allows it to control and coordinate its minions or sabotage its enemies from within.
Ashen Consumption: The Ash can consume magical artifacts or sources of arcane energy, absorbing their power and incorporating it into its being. This ability grants it increased magical resistance and the ability to wield potent spells or abilities.
Ashen Assimilation: By merging with other sources of ash or similar entities, the Ash can assimilate their traits and abilities, evolving into new forms or gaining additional powers. This process allows it to adapt to different environments and challenges.
Avatar of Destruction: In its ultimate form, the Ash can transform into a towering avatar of destruction, wreathed in flames and darkness. This avatar possesses unparalleled strength and destructive potential, capable of laying waste to entire cities or armies with ease.
