Description

Level 227 is a hilly expanse of dry, cracked earth approximately 150 km2 in area, ringed by mountains and orbited by a sun. The air in this level appears to affect the native entities as if it were water, with no direct effect on humans or equipment. This however does not affect the ability of humans to breathe the air, but can apparently be breathed by marine animals.

Entities

Level 227 is populated with aquatic wildlife seemingly identical to those found in the backrooms, with them appearing to swim through the air with no difficulty. The most common are shoals of a small unidentified silver fish and Blue Whales, with the smaller creatures found nearer the ground and larger creatures more often "swimming" at heights of approximately 100m. When the sun sets, entities resembling angler fish will swim out of fissures in the earth and hover in a fixed position in the air about a meter off the ground. Growing out of cracks in the ground are strands of Eye Kelp, a from of seaweed with ocular organs resembling human eyes, these entities straddle the line between entity and flora and fauna. They are made up of green fleshy stalks dotted with eyes with long leaf like structures splitting off the main stem and have an average height of 5 metres (16 ft). These leaves seem to act as both large surface areas to catch sunlight for photosynthesis and hiding the eyes from view until close inspection of the plant/entity. It is believed that all of the Eye Kelp is connected via some kind of underground root system and acts as a surveillance network. Contrary to the kelp native to the Frontrooms, Eye Kelp do not grow in proximity to one another, so instead of kelp forests, they give the impression of trees dotted around a dry and empty landscape.
