# On Sojourners

The places in between universes and the Raven King: There are several ways to move between universes that the party knows of:

1. The Pathways of the Raven King- named after the famous sojourner but far older than he, the pathways connect alternate universes and timeliness through reflective surfaces. Magically induced light behaves strangely here and physics tends to be relative. People who die seem to quickly be raised into undead. Powerful outsiders, and even dieties, fear to use or even observe these paths, however it is known to the party that several versions of Caymden Cailen have done so.
2. Portals of the Old Ones- built by ancient cults of obscurity, the party decided not to even consider using them at the advice of Palemon, the Crown Prince in Exile (an alternate version of the Forgotten Lord, who tended to rage instead of melancholy).
3. Harvey and Gek were returned to their home universe by either a technological or magical beam employed by servants of the Throne of Worlds that used neither of these methods.

Visiting other dimensions is perilous, largely because of the predatory multiverse entity known as Tindalos. Hiding from Tindalos is the Sojourner’s best bet and the ways the party currently knows of are:

1. To bend the knee to the Throne of Worlds, a LN force that values obedience to hierarchical order, taming the wild and dangerous facets of nature and growing civilizations
2. Become a student of the Raven King, an arcane caster that has delved into the secrets of the pathways between worlds and used them to his own advantage
3. Eat a piece of Tindalos and become one of its many mouths, in so doing you get feed instead of be food but you will suck at parties forevermore
4. Learn the “Shaded Way” an arcane practice that learned from how Tindalos does what it does without being at its unsatiable whims. They feed on Sojourners and psychic casters, but exactly how is not somethinf the party knows.
