I've got a pretty good telescope and as a matter of fact I was out watching the full moon tonight. So this is how I got these ideas, years ago, although a new one even occurred to me tonight.My setting has two worlds, our world, and a different world, geographically identical to ours but the life on it is completely different. It is inhabited by elves, and dwarves and giants and so forth.In that world things also operate differently and in many ways it is a world with very unusual properties. Such as, there are areas which glow at night, the stones, and plants, whole mountain ranges. Areas where magic is amplified, or suppressed, or where it fluctuates wildly, or rapidly.Liquids can turn into gases almost immediately and solids can transform shape or become liquids.Areas of terrain will change and shift, sometimes while people are looking at it.There are "telescopic areas" where things become magnified, and elongated, drawn out. And in these areas one can often see for miles and miles, even over or beyond the horizon.There are "microscopic areas" (I don't call them that, but I'm saying it that way so it can be easily understood) where invisible things can be perceived, and impossibly small things can be seen.There are corresponding areas where auditory and olfactory senses are microscoped and/or telescoped, and places where tactile senses and even a sort of heightened danger sense can become apparent.There are areas where different stars or starlight spectra will have different visual and perceptual effects.And tonight the idea occurred to me, since the moon was so bright, that a bright, full moon, a harvest moon, or a "blue moon" would have completely different effects on what can be perceived, and how things operate.There are areas where the water is potent and healing, or will give the drinker temporary magical or even psychic powers.Areas where magic will drain from objects into the surrounding environment. Animals will mutate or alter.In other words that world itself is alive, and like any living organism has different capabilities.I don't know if that helps you or not but that is also always how I've felt about the "elven world."Or I guess you could say the Fey world.</blockquote>
