The Perilous Realm is the realm of stories. All the stories we know, and many we don't know yet, are woven here. They grow and change and sometimes mingle with one another to create new stories. Like an endless tapestry woven on an infinite loom, these stories weave and are woven and weave themselves anew.
The Story of all stories is called the Kantar. Every storyteller dips into the Kantar, like taking a cup of water from an inexhaustible well. To take a tale from the Kantar is not to diminish it but to allow it to grow and continue.
Some storytellers know more of the Kantar than others, but no one can know it all. Some say that the first line of the Kantar is this:
"In the darkness the spirit awoke, and danced."
But no one knows for sure, because it may be that the Kantar has no beginning. And it may never have an end.
