I began coming to in the Otherworld.
Okay, but I'm going to be brief. There are those who say that the Dreamtime, the Otherword, the Fey Realms, and the First World are all the same thing. My understanding is different. All of them have what I now call "emotional physics". All are malleable in terms of geography and distance. Even the Barren Zone, home of the spirits of nihilism, has at least four times more spirits than you'd find in our living world.
Yes, ours. Athal is one of many different… Look, to get into that in detail would take several sessions. The important part is that while I'm not certain about the First World and the Fey Realms, the others are entirely separate non-physical emotional places that also exist. Maybe they touch on other worlds than ours, but I cannot confirm nor deny.
