Developer Quotes/On the Universe, the Worlds, and Advanced Civilizations
Q: Is there a relationship between the worlds of AC?
Are these planets supposed to exist in the same universe, galaxy, solar system? Or maybe different dimensions/universes ala Sliders (TV show)
None of the races are advanced enough to have space flight or even highly developed observational tools. So I'm wondering if all these planets exist in the same general location and they just don't know it. Is there any evidence that supports or destroys this notion? The only common theme I can find is they all have one star.
Also was wondering if this info checks out.
Ezheret orbits a larger planet (Hazahtu) and has one star.
Tuu has no moons and has a star for only half the year. Their winter is illuminated by "The Forge of Heaven" which is a large nebula.
Bur has one star and perhaps many "moons" based on the recent lore.
Ispar has one star as well, but I can't find information on any moons, if it has any. Anyone know?
Auberean we know has 2 moons and one star.
The Olthoi/Grievver homeworld has one sun but no reports of any moons.
A: Wow, this is an involved question.
The AC universe is indeed inter-related. All of the worlds exist in the same plane of existence. There is a great big universe. That universe is made smaller by the existence of portal space.
For lack of a better description portal space is akin to another plane of existence. One in which time, space, volume, weight, size, height and matter lose all relevance. They simply exist as energy. In portal space, if you know how to navigate the streams of energy that exist there you can go to any other location in the universe.
The statements that you make about the other known worlds are correct.
There is much of AC that is a mystery so I can't go on to tell you everything. What I can say is this.
There are no worlds that are more advanced or were more advanced than Auberean at the height of its existence.
