Known World #32: The Sideways World

Key characteristics: Time repeats recursively (one month at a time). Timing seems linked to the Homeworld's (HW's) moon's months. The world appears to HWers as tilting sideways at a 35° angle. This is due to little-understood ristetic properties. Magic barrier: Required, to prevent one's body from imploding sideways. Climate: Moderate temperatures, moderate light, but very low visibility due to Fargaret's Fog (originally aer from Sominon Fargaret's interplanar travels). No edible food for HWers.

Other flora and fauna: Unknown Notable cities or landmarks: Site #40023 "Ship's Death": HW-made, 51 years old, located at MP.32.1. Infinitely repe...
