I asked Greg to confirm or deny that:
"The uz and Aldryami otherworlds act like the Underworld in not differentiating [between theistic and animistic entities], but they are not an independent source of how things behave in the inner world?"

He said:
"They are part of the Underworld. The Underworld is a source of part of the Mixed World. Just no one can say how, really."

Sounds like canon to me.

Nils, again:
>For example, Aldrya's realm can very well be part of the
>undifferentiated Green Age, when such distinctions are
>somewhat irrelevant.

I think that is the feel (reading TFS helps me get into the whole, confusing, Green Age way of thinking). However, its location is not on the God Plane in the Green Age, but in the Underworld. I think the Green Age, as experienced on the God Plan, is primarily a human thing. As Greg said, "They [the Aldryami] are an Elder Race not subject to the same rules as mankind." Peter and I agree (unusually) in thinking that the Aldryami otherworld is closely linked to Aldrya's cycle of sleep and wakening.
