At the depths of our natural world is the very heart of nature itself (also referred to as nature's blasted core, heart of all creation, heart of existence, core of all existence, etc.), a plane of existence in the world of Dota 2.

Description
If one delves deep enough into the depths of nature itself using the haunted Chronoptic Crystals, one may discover the unpleasant and horrifying truth of all creation at its heart. A hidden plane of existence, nature in this plane is not a pleasant world, but it is actually lurid and vile. Lurid in this context may be ambiguous: it might be lurid because it is horrifying and hideous to those who learn about it, or it might be lurid because it is too brightly and vividly colored, which could possibly be reflected in Leshrac's bright and dissonant color scheme. Here, nature is also a blighted world full of torment, suffering, and decay.

Those who see this place for themselves are forever warped by this evil and hideous revelation. Such was the case with Leshrac, who was irreparably altered when he saw this world.

According to Leshrac, the physical form generally comes from this plane of existence, which may explain why it is called the heart of nature. If every being's form originates from this blasted reality, then everyone who has their form provided to them from this plane is technically undergoing an existence of torment that they have yet to know until they realize it by seeing this place for themselves, since their corporeal body's origin is a world made of tormented elements.

The Impurities
Akin to the natural world's elements, the Impurities are the elements that form the heart of all creation. As impure elements, the whole that they compose mirrors their properties, thus it's a plane of blight and torment. There are four Impurities that correspond with the elements/states of matter: sinister energy, tainted water, evil wind, and brittle earth.

Locations
A malfunction with the reality warping Continuum Device opened the paths to many realms and dimensions in the Continuum Vault, including the Weald of Torment, which is implied to be in the heart of nature. The nihilist Ash the Defiler lives in this forest.

Notable Inhabitants
Judging by the kinds of people who know or are affliated with this place, the heart of nature is known to and meant for nihilists only.

It's interesting to note that there seems to be no sentient creatures that are native to this place. The only beings that are sentient here are those that aren't even native creatures, but rather visitors like Leshrac (although he, and perhaps all of nature, technically belong here). Perhaps the lack of native, sentient beings has something to do with this place having witless elements, with "witless" possibly meaning that they are insentient. If there were any native intelligences here, then Leshrac would not have called this place a cloister. But this isn't the case, implying that he's the only creature here.

Heroes
he is alone here guardian and agent  having learned that the truth of nature is t, s, and d, via Chronoptic Crystals he believes that everyone is tormented like he is, but laments that they don't know the horrifying truth that he knows as such he forces everyone to see the truth like he did by sending them there, returning their form to where it came from. here, they will return to the impurities and merge with them tithe of gold end to it all

Characters
Ash the Defiler lives in the Weald of Torment, accessible in the dimensional Continuum Vault. Its name implies that it's in the heart of nature. It's unknown if he coexists with Leshrac.

Flora
The things that grow here are weird, evil, and unnatural. Unnatural fungi that's tough as stone grow in this place, sustained by its tainted waters. Weird branches that are capable of channeling power also gain sustenance from the tainted waters. Wicked vines grow here as well, a twisted wisdom that feed and thrive on anguish, black thoughts, and foul deeds rather than bright light, fresh air, and clean water.

existence of evil vines that seem to be sentient seems to contradict with witless elements, altho it's possible only plants are sentient here and no native animals and other native beings with higher sentience exist here

Heroes
When receives a treasure, he will mention its source: a place he calls the "fundament of nature" and the "core of the universe". These two names may be referring to a single place, and both names are synonymous with the heart of nature, which means that he may be referring to said plane of existence. This makes him one of the few entities to know about the evil truth of nature. His knowledge of this place may also explain why he is nihilistic like Leshrac and Ash.

why do Arcane Rune come from here?
