The Halls of Torserd are a hypohtesized divine realm to be found at the base of the Rift of Duersterkrak, though the precise nature and contents of the realms are subject to dispute. Two main theories have emerged:

  1. The Halls are, as topology would suggest, physically on Ahren, deep below the Atlas Mountains, which would make them the only divine realm on the material plane, or;
  2. The Halls are on another plane (not unheard of in The Deep), usually ascribed as the Bardo.

If the Halls exist at all (which itself is in dispute), then Torserd Magnusson is the only god, in any pantheon, to hold a claim over two realms (the other being his portion of Khaz Urheim. Dwarven scholars suggest that if the realm exists then it is likely another library akin to Torserd's archives in Khaz Duersterkrak - some of the more prone-to-fancy would even suggest that they're possibly the relocated Library of Akasha.
