"Segments?" Atticus asked.
"Think of it like a solar system," Whisker said. "Eldoralth, along with several other worlds, orbits one massive star. That's one segment. In another place, there's another star, another orbit, that's another segment."
"And these segments are divided by what? Boundaries?" Atticus asked.
Whisker nodded. "Your star is everything. It gives your world life. When it dies, so does everything else. But it also regulates your segment. Now, imagine four of these segments lined up horizontally. That makes up the lowerplane. Each segment has its own boundary, maintained by its star."
"And Eldoralth, the Zorvan world, and the others, they're all in the same segment?" Atticus asked.
Whisker nodded.
"Can we access the other segments?"
"Only if the stars allow it."
"What are the stars?"
Whisker grinned. "Good question." He paused, then added, "I don't know."
Atticus raised a brow, but before he could speak, Whisker continued.
