Heyo. A small section of Always On Time has caused me to rethink how I handled something in Digging for Lies, I could use some quick help.
In essence- what exactly is behind the seals in all of the ancient ziggurats?
Behind the Apet seal is nothing, a portal to empty space. Book 3 is pretty quiet on the Mavisha seal, but the implication seems to be the same. This is reinforced by how despite Duvall touring Risur and removing seals, there have been no reports of planar incursions. I believe this is because the portals point to the planes *were*, before the Axis Ritual moved them.
But- the ziggurat of Urim, stated to be beneath the city of Nalaam. It's further stated that said ziggurat/portal is the source of earth mana crystals, on which the city built part of its fortune. It describes this power 'seeping up'. If the portal also leads to nowhere, then why is there Urim-power seeping up? Is it entirely from the Urim-infused seal?
Thoughts?
