The Reach

Each world its own star. A hundred light-years can be one crossing, and a world next door can be out of reach.

The Reach is held together by its Gates. Every road runs through one, every crossing is logged at both mouths, and whoever holds the junctions holds everyone. Touch a world to open it. Touch the gold station at Sheol to see who is waiting. Tap a trade above the chart, grain or dolach or keshet, to see where it comes from.

✦ A star system. The ringed dot is the world.
⊢ A Gate mouth, one at each end of a line.
— A Gate pairing: one crossing.
◎ Sheol: no world, four mouths.
ℵ-n Crossings from Aleph, the hub.
