INTRODUCTION
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.
