- Chapter 10: Parallel Geography
(translation by MauroKing correction by Hikaro & Nicolas)
- Parallel Geography
- We always begin the labyrinth contest at the centre, so that the multiple worlds can align their simultaneous runners at precisely the same place on the surface of the globe.
- Precise global coordinates for the centres of the labyrinths are found from and made common beforehand by the agonothetai across multiple worlds.
- These coordinates may coincide with different villages and cities in different worlds. This is because the same villages and cities are situated differently in the several worlds, depending on their continental structure.
- Therefore the coordinates of each labyrinth must be adjusted in order to envelop the continental form in each world. Your Paris is possibly at the same place Moscow is in an other world, for example.
- In some cases, a remapping will show simultaneous labyrinths are not possible. The urban labyrinth of one world possibly will be situated in the middle of your ocean, or in dangerous mountain terrain.
- Therefore, in order to coordinate with the maximum number of possible worlds, a single world will often cause a simultaneous labyrinth to take place in six varied places, each mapping to a practicable place in an at least one ring of other worlds.
- The Sofia are responsible for serving as parallel geographers. They calculate the places required for the simultaneous labyrinths, based on their understanding of the geography of the six diverse world-types.
