Difference between revisions of "Perpendicularity"

A '''perpendicularity''' is a junction between the [[Physical Realm|Physical]], [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]], and [[Spiritual Realm]]s. They are used by [[worldhoppers]] such as [[Hoid]] to go from planet to planet. They are formed through the concentration of [[Investiture]]. Because of this, they are most commonly found at places where a Shard's power is focused, often in the form of a pool of liquid. A Shard can control where their perpendicularity manifests.{{wob ref|11322}} A perpendicularity may manifest as the Shards color.

* '''Dominion''': There is a second perpendicularity on [[Sel]],{{wob ref|13093}} presumably of [[Dominion]].

* [[Threnody]] does not have a stable perpendicularity, but rather a number of unstable, unpredictable ones of a morbid origin.{{au ref|threnodite}} They may possibly have something to do with the creation of [[Shade]]s, although the fact that the Shard of [[Ambition]] has died near the system has far greater influence on their creation.{{wob ref|12922}} It is more of a circumstance than a location.{{wob ref|14992}}

* [[First of the Sun]] is notable for having a perpendicularity, presumably [[Patji's Eye]], without a Shard in residence.{{au ref|drominad}} However, [[Patji (being)|Patji]] is an avatar of [[Autonomy]],{{wob ref|9385}} which is likely the cause of the perpendicularity.

* There is something similar to a perpendicularity on [[Yolen]], despite the lack of a Shard.{{wob ref|14885}}
