Beyond Reality discussion

This thread will evolve throughout the discussion, and cover details, questions, and your speculations over the making of the splinter worlds linked to Athera by the Worldsend Gates.

Here is a 'special' page link designed for this discussion - it (and this topic) will be kept current to the ongoing discussion. I will hold it spoiler free as best I can - and update it as needed.

The splinter worlds are the opening setting for the story - and may (after that) seem a distant detail - but there are no irrelevant details, and more about the splinter worlds will emerge as the books progress.

These notes were originally written to answer a reader question about the feud on Dascen Elur - as you can see, nothing was so cut and dried or simple as might be presumed.

Very enlightening! Being a new reader in the series, I haven't really browsed around too much on your website (except to look at the map). I'm going to have to make a more thorough examination of it for sure!

Thanks, Janny, for sharing that link. What a tragic turn of events. And the final sentence of the last paragraph on that web page left me forlorn.

Oh yes, I so totally agree. What a sad ending to a very complicated understanding.

Yes. Seems like the story of Arithon's life. :(

I did, of course, mean MISunderstanding. Sorry about that.

Sandra, that does seem true doesn't it. And the impression I get is that it going to keep on going that way.

Dawn - be careful - there be SPOILERS on the Paravia site. They will not be marked in the FAQ section - we try to keep the chat clean as possible. There is a lot of info packed in there, but watch your step, because some of the best fun in the stories could be unveiled prematurely.

Unless that doesn't matter to you - :)

Kerry and Jon - wow - I thought I was unshelling one nut, only to trip you folks on another.

Consider the wording - how do you interpret 'eventually' - grin.

I can see there needs to be a further unfolding of history, but that must wait for another moment, since there are denouements coming in the main story.

Thank you for this!! Adds a lot to the background. Looking forward to see how the events in Dascen Elur may come to play into Athera's present :)
