My memory may not be accurate, but as far as I remember, it has never been mentioned what would happen if you dig through the wall surrounding the Eye of Avarice or the Eye of Fury. The wall is not invincible, so digging it until the wall ends is technically possible, right?
Not sure if they are related, but according to the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition, the wall of the Runeforge is:
Attempts to move through the surrounding stone, either by magic or legitimate tunneling, reveal that Runeforge is contained in a void of dangerous entropy. The sphere of stone that holds Runeforge has a radius of a mile. Beyond is a maelstrom of nothingness, a black void that extends forever and contains nothing but air. A creature incapable of flight falls into the void and continues falling forever. Teleportation can save a PC from this fate as long as she teleports back into Runeforge.
So, can I assume that the wall of the Eyes has similar characteristics? That their thickness is roughly a mile, and if you dig through it diligently, you will eventually stumble upon the endless void?
Also, considering the mention that "Beyond is a maelstrom of nothingness," can I assume that the Runeforge is somewhere in the Maelstrom? And if so, can I assume that the Eye of Avarice and the Eye of Fury are also in the Maelstrom?

Yup; all of the Eyes have similar exteriors.
The word "maelstrom" is used not to indicate the plane of the same name but just as a flavorful noun to indicate the violent churning of the entropic area. When we mean Maelstrom the plane, it's used as a proper noun and is capitalized.
The surrounding void of dangerous entropy is still the demiplane of the Eye itslef but it's equally vast as it is empty; think of it as a bottomless pit with no walls, and it's "top" (aka the only exit) being whatever hole you dug through to get to it from the Eye itself.
Thank you for the kind and helpful answer James.
Actually I have several other questions regarding the Eye. Can I ask the questions to you here? I searched through the books as best as I can yet still find no answer to these questions. At first I planned to post these questions to the Ask James Jacobs thread but that thread is closed indefinitely and I honestly have no idea when it will reopen. So...
