On Time and Space

Through-out the ages of man, thinkers have postulated theories regarding the relationship between Faerie and Earth. The concept of alternate realities is often mentioned. If a theologian is involved in the debate, the specter of relativism likely raises its head. Those adherents to academic approaches cite transcendental perspectivism as the least improbable explanation for the existence of Faerie. In this respect, these thinkers are most like children who accept Faerie as something greater than a figment of one's imagination.

The eminent philosophers of Faerie, on the other hand, excuse rather than explain the phenomenon of Earth. "Yes, Earth came to be," they admit, "and there's nothing to be done about it." This difference in opinions has led to a policy of disengagement between the two lands and is principally responsible for their distant relations, rather than any constraints that could be encoded in the laws of physics designed to describe distortions in the continuity of time and space.
