{{Quote|"Medium" has a fairly obvoius double meaning. It is literally a middle ground, the wide band of spherical space in between [[Skaia]] and the [[Furthest Ring]] [...] It is also a medium in the sense of a canvas for paint. An ether for an emergent reality. [...] it has mystical, unexplained properties for sustaining life, specifically the players. It's not quite literally a vacuum, since people can breathe in it, though it is not necessarily a field of breathable atmosphere. In the same sense, it magically powers houses severed from the [[Electricity|electrical grid]]. |''Homestuck: Book 2'' commentary}}
'''The Medium''' is a mysterious realm which forms part of [[Incipisphere|The Incipisphere]].
'''The Medium''' is a mysterious realm which forms part of [[Incipisphere|The Incipisphere]]. It was first introduced when [[John Egbert|John]]'s [[John's house|house]] was sent to the area when he bit into a [[Cruxite#Cruxite Apple|Cruxite Apple]]. He is later joined by [[Rose Lalonde|Rose]], [[Dave Strider|Dave]] and [[Jade Harley|Jade]].


[[Jane Egbert|Nannasprite]] describes The Medium as "a ring of pure void, dividing light and darkness". The Medium seems to be the main body of the Incipisphere, with a kingdom of [[Derse|darkness]] outside of it relative to the four main planets and one of [[Prospit|light]] within it.  To be completely specific, Hussie {{formspring|andrewhussie1888020658|defined it}} as terminating at [[The Veil]].

=== Trolls' Session ===
The main goal of [[Sburb]] is to reach the Medium and build up to [[The Seven Gates]], eventually reaching the realm of [[Skaia]] at its center. The starting point of this journey is each player's individual [[Planets|planet]]. Each planet has something to do with the player's title and, more importantly, their personality. [[Imp]]s, [[Ogre]]s, and [[Basilisk|many]] [[Giclops|other]] [[Lich|opponents]] must be fought by the players as they build upward. Strangely, players still receive [[electricity]] and internet access, even though the wires are {{MSPA|custom|storyfiles/hs2/walkthrough/screencaps/02.jpg|clearly not connected}} to anything. Rose theorizes that the game provides these services so as to not give the players unnecessary handicaps - that is to say, navigating a dark house or being unable to communicate with other players in the session - early in the game.
*[[Land of Mirage and Monochrome]] - [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]]'s planet
 
It should be noted that the [[troll]]s' planets were destroyed, one after the other, by [[Jack Noir]] and that they also lost their Prospit and Derse.
 
So far, all [[null session#void session|void session]] planets have had themes of death and desolation. This is fitting, because this means the game is a void session, and cannot bear fruit. Whether this is an intentional game mechanic or a glitch remains unknown.
 
==Planets within The Medium==
[[File:Eight Planet Session.png|right]]
A {{HS|874|diagram}} displayed in the [[Skaianet Laboratory]]'s primary session terminal seems to suggest that there are eight planets, each with seven gates between it and Skaia. The significance of this was subject to speculation for a long time. However, it is now most likely that it foreshadowed the 8 player session of the pre- and post-scratch [[Homestuck Kids|kids]].
