Quor'toth

An opening to Quor'toth, the darkest of the dark worlds.

“What you're looking into is the Quor'toth: the darkest of the dark worlds.”

―Sahjhan

Quor'toth, the darkest of the dark worlds, was a hell dimension that could be accessed only through tearing the very fabric of reality and not via a regular portal, like Pylea or other dimensions.

After Holtz and his men kidnapped baby Connor with the unwitting help of Wesley, Sahjhan opened an entrance to Quor'toth during an intense four-way confrontation between himself, Holtz, Wolfram & Hart, and Angel Investigations, forcing Holtz to jump into the doorway with Connor. There, Holtz raised Connor for sixteen years, as time moved faster there than on Earth, molding him into a warrior and demon hunter, instilling in him a hatred for his father.

As a side effect of a dark ritual performed by Angel to make Sahjhan into a corporeal being, a new tearing connecting Earth to Quor'toth opened. A large number of sluks entered into earth, escaping "The Destroyer," the title with which Connor had came to be known in the hell dimension. Following them, Connor found his way back to Earth, followed by Holtz himself.

Following the recent end of magic, Willow Rosenberg found a ritual that would allow her to return to Quor'toth, using the scythe as a battery and Connor as a focus for the summoning; since Quor'toth was never accessed via portal, it was the only other dimension still accessible from this one after magic was lost, allowing Willow to enter Quor'toth and theoretically use its magic to 'recharge' her own reserves before travelling to other realities to find a way to restore magic in her world. She was accompanied by Angel, Connor, Faith and Gunn, the other four intending to protect her from Quor'toth's residents until Willow has built up enough power to take action.
