Certain legends claim that the Center of All Things is a mountain, not a tree. Known as Olympus, Qaf, or Meru, this Mountain dwarfs every Earthly mountain put together. Again, a vast wilderness radiates outward from the Mountain; sometimes it’s a desert, other times a forest, and still other times a rocky plain or an expanse of ice. In the slippery metaphysics of the Worlds Beyond, this appears to be essentially the same place as Midrealm and the Aelder Bole. Is it human imagination that shifts these landscapes, or are principles beyond human consciousness at work here? I’m afraid there are no simple answers to that question. It’s one of the many ineffable mysteries of the Awakened world.
