He is silent for a moment and turns to Drota. His gaze lingers for a moment, his brow becoming heavy, his eyes darkening, with what could be racial memories or mental pictures. He shakes the foul mask away with a shake and speaks. 'Greybeards like to talk about things like that - the wonder and impossibility of the planes. Like the Outlands itself. The place - like all outer planes - is an infinate realm without beginning or end. it stretches infinately along the canvas of the great wheel, is home to all terrains imaginable and billions upon billions of inhabitants (perhaps an infinate number, given its endless expanse).' 'Once a cutter can wrap his mind around such inconceivable truths - or ignores them, whichever you prefer - he can begin to question other, more important things. In the centre of the Outlands is spire; itself infinately high. Atop this spire floats the City that is called Sigil. Around 1000 miles out from the Spire are the gate towns, each a community miroring the attitudes of one of the true Outer Planes. Tradegate, i have already mentioned, and is the gate town to Bytopia. Strangest fact about the gate towns is this: once a cutter leaves a gate town and heads away from the spire, no matter how far or long he travels, there will always be a gate town around 200 miles away.''I can see your Prime minds questioning my words already: How can an infinate plane have a centre? How can an infinate spire have something floating atop it? best thing a cutter can do is just acceot it and get on with his life. Otherwise, you'll go barmy.' the dwarf takes another sip.</blockquote>
