The witch Thessaly mentions that Death is the only one of the Endless who is bound by no rules, supported in Dream's portion of ''[[The Sandman: Endless Nights|Endless Nights]]'' in which she briefly makes an appearance at a conference designed to set functions for entities and leaves before it begins. In addition, it is mentioned in ''Brief Lives'' that she is the only one of the Endless who may survive the end of this incarnation of the universe. Death's realm - called "The Sunless Lands" - is not portrayed in detail in the series, except for a brief scene in her "house" in the ''Sandman Special'', ''Song of [[Orpheus]]'', and later in ''[[The Books of Magic]]'' series. This is where she keeps her floppy hat collection, her [[goldfish]] Slim and Wandsworth and possibly her gallery. A brief glimpse of her realm can also be seen in ''[[The Little Endless Storybook]]'', when Barnabas visits her, although this time in her "apartment suite".

One day every century, Death is forced to live out the last day of a random person, to understand the value of the life she takes. At the end of ''[[Death: The High Cost of Living]]'' her Endless self briefly converses with her mortal self.
