/// Couldn't there have been just ONE WORLD, which was shattered in several smaller ones (ie the 3 "otherworlds" ?) Wasn't the Green Age just One World, close to the Absolute ? Afterwards it wore down, small parts then big chunks fell off it, etc. Until the Spike blew up, sending worlds in all directions.

/// Not sure if my english is good enough to get your meaning, but why not say the Celestial Court were Integrating all Magics from the start ? Some see them as Gods, the malkioni see them as Great Eransachula. The Law of Devolution made them slowly disintegrate, as all things are wont to do.

I propose that this mystical secret enabled Heort to lead all participants to the world that was previously limited to the peoples and immortals of the mystical approach.
/// I love your approach. And there was another who had such Great Insight far west. His name was Malkion. (as all learned wizards know, HE did bring forth the Unity / I Fought we Won Battle. Heort just stepped in).
