You can find stories from the Fonlands and Universe Prime 5 in these Volumes, Specials, and Interim Shorts:
The entirety of the Fonlands is seven discs that overlap to form a circle with a large disc suspended above them on seven pillars that emerge from each disc, and it all rests atop the slumbering snake that hoists it up into the ether.
The strange nature of the Fonlands is attributed to its collision with a pillar of the superstructure of the multiverse and its subsequent settling into its current position where it has latched onto another universe in a strange way. The mingling of the Fonlands with this other universe that has qualities more akin to the Hyperion existence of its node, let’s call it Universe Prime 5, resulted in the discs of the Fonlands encroaching in regular intervals into Prime 5, and it just so happens that the planet Earth exists at the center of the Fonlands Discs – even on its revolution of the sun because the discs of the Fonlands wobble as the slumbering snake breathes – just under the suspended middle disc. This is significant because the arcane energy generated by the Fonlands Discs are concentrated at the spot in the middle of their circle formation, and this is the cause of the regular appearance of the Fonlands on Earth.
It occured for the first time, and continues to this day, in present day Congo. Beings of the Fonlands have immense knowledge and they can exist on Earth. They can also wield magic that is the stuff of Earther fairy tales. Earthers have traveled to the Fonlands, but there are no first-person accounts of their time there.
from the Manual and Reference of the Fonlands The first appearance of the Fonlands occured in the heart of Africa many years ago when the Earth was young. The appearance of the Fonlands on Earth was a coincidence of very complex physics and the nature of the Fonlands is not quite existence as it is… Read more: The Divine Essence – Excerpt – Pre-Unrest I
TO TOP from the Manual and Reference of the Fonlands The Transatlantic Slave Trade that started in the 1700s on Earth, caused major upheaval for the Fonlanders of Western Africa, some of whom were swept up in the violence and transported to the Americas alongside Africans who would lose their connection to the land of… Read more: The Divine Essence – Excerpt – Unrest I cont.
Coffey was delirious. It was late July and there were no clouds in the Carolina sky to shield her from the sun. She could feel the rays mashing into her skin and where they connected, her body was hot from the friction. She wanted to collapse under the perceived weight of the heat that mixed… Read more: The Divine Essence – 1 – A Beginning
The swamp became a magical place for Coffey. When she first laid eyes on it, it was just a large, murky lake with lush vegetation springing up from its depths and at its borders, with forms of green-capped islands randomly breaching the surface. The trees that grew in the area were large and the canopy… Read more: The Divine Essence – 2 – A Daughter of Pultine
“What y’all want from me?” Coffey asked Lofet as they sat at a large table set for a feast. They were on one of the green surfaces that breached the swamp and it was decorated with vegetation to mark a celebration that was attended by many of the Umbatia. They all wore very formal clothing;… Read more: The Divine Essence – 3 – Life Blood Engine
“I can’t do this,” Lofet said as he paced the grass. Sene and a group of Umbatia sat at what seemed to be a large table, but it was made from a mound of Earth.

Djallon, the Ram Warrior, is in the Shifting Planes after the Vodun Agê, Xêvioso, and Lêgba leave the Fonlands for the Paradise Universe. She is with the other 4Warriors on a small platform that is large enough for her and Nwa Wa to sit and for Mulweri and Adofo to stand behind them. They watch…
“Are y’all worried?” Zana asked. She sat next to her sister high up in the Aziza mound and they looked out over the jungle. It was a wondrous sight to Zana who had been in the Fonlands for a while by that point, but it all still looked so new to her. It was hard…
Jo wasn’t in the Meta Chamber when we arrived there, so we decided to wait for her. In addition to the many screens broadcasting views of the various existences of the multiverse, there were seven thrones large enough for a Vodun facing the wall of screens, a large conference table behind it lined with benches…
Owuo has been in the Shifting Planes since before the mission to Talj and he is happy to be away from the Vodun, who had come in and taken over Yana’s operation completely. He isn’t angry exactly, he’d expected as much once they became aware of the situation, it is more that their involvement has…
Long ago, Dendron graduated from King Protea’s course of lectures when the whale known as Cachalot crashed into the surface of Ntinyeti. It was a large scale catastrophe that may have been averted if not for the cloaking magic of Dendron that allowed Protea to be distracted as the large whale sailed limply through space…

Lorv had been presiding over the aziza mound since she returned to Prime 5 Earth and then the Fonlands before the commencement of the mission to the Talj Junction. She wouldn’t use the word ‘presiding’ that connotes active leadership, which Lorv is hesitant to be part of because her mind is preoccupied with other things,…
Jo is in the Meta Chamber staring at the stone wall that is covered in monitors broadcasting views from around the multiversal structure that the Smiting Chamber had learned to monitor.

“I saw Brad Jordan,” Zacchaeus said to me. “When we was in Outer Spacetime when the Barons opened the portal to Deads’ Town. He was there.” “Remind me who Brad Jordan is,” I said, familiar enough with the name to recognize it, but not sure why he was bringing it up. I assumed it was…
Long ago, when she was holder of the stories of the Fonlands and feeding the Scroll of the Time Chamber, Nyame was on her Cotton-Wood rocking peacefully as it moved through the space of Jo’s Disc.

The Mother-Father sits on the Lofted Disc. “We must speak to them,” the Father-Mother says. “We must speak to Lêgba. He has not presented himself since his return to the Fonlands and his return has only upended the peace and the order that the Fonlands was founded on. He brought news of Une…” “You shouldn’t…
“Seem like we can’t win for losing,” Zacchaeus said angrily. We had just arrived back in the Smiting Chamber from Outer Spacetime and even though I was frantic to speak with Owuo or one of the Vodun, particularly Lêgba, we stood for a moment in the dim chamber that buzzed with activity. “What did we…

La Croix knew that Samedi was altering the very fabric of existence, of Outer Spacetime, by existing there. There was a translucent orb of violet that constantly surrounded him and when it interacted with Outer Spacetime, when he simply moved through it, there was a sparkle of energy around the orb that was a visual…

Long ago, Anansi was stumped. He had no idea how he would avoid the wrath of the young aboatia known as Pultine and complete his last trial of delivering the petulant child to Obea at the roots of his mother’s Cotton-Wood tree. “Bring her a gift,” Anansi said aloud as he surveyed the forest around…
