Ryddle, the original world, is forever filled with danger and turmoil. With two books, and the previouse bookkeeper missing from the library all the people of Ryddle are greatly unsettled. Ryddle is very near to chaos and panic.

Earth is forever obliviouse to the other worlds surrounding it. The inhabbitence have no idea about books and telescopes. Of course it is possible that an earthling might come across a book, or telescope and be able to enter Ryddle.

Fellin is increasing security to the best of their abilities. It is becoming harder and harder to travel by book to Fellin as security is very cautiouse on who they let pass. They are aware of the dissapearances of Maisk and Hage, and are worried that they might be next.

Forever shrouded in night, Dask is aware that at some time they will be aproached by their creator, Cistaae. They know that there will be a difficult choice - join her and fight, rebel against the other worlds, or resist Cistaae and no doubt she will then attempt to take them by force.

The book to Hage is currently missing from the library. Its inhabitence are under the unforgiving rule of Cistaae, and are desperate to be saved from her tyrany.

Like Hage, Maisk is currently under rule of Cistaae, the rebelliouse writer. It is not often that one will hear the delicate voices of birdsong anymore.
