In a way, one could speak of a mystic World, which is neither Other- nor not. A major point is that the whole setup with mundane world and otherworlds is a big lie according to the mystics. The trouble is that once you reach the "mystic world", you disappear from the others and they disappear from your view.

Now that's a tricky question. Vith lives on Vithalash, but what that means otherworldlywise is quite confusing. As deities, do the High Gods live in the theist otherworld? As mystics, are they Somewhere Else?

Heavens no, it's way too neat to just dismiss. I'm just being nitpicky...

Quibbles as to whether a non-place is an otherworld, but apart from that, I agree.

They do?
