Dreamspikes and travelling

[Verroth]

As we know dreamspikes work in T'A'R but prevent construction of gates in real world.

Gates supposedly work by bringing two places together. This led me to some interesting thoughts:

1.       1. It seems that travelling needs T'A'R to work;

2.       2. Bringing places ”together” is very easy in T'A'R but should be impossible in real world;

3.      3. Maybe by opening gates in real world you open first gate from your place to T'A'R and immediately a second one from T'A'R to your destination and these two gates are brought together and merged in T'A'R so you just see one gate? And in fact you are travelling from one place to the other through T'A'R?

4.       4. This would nicely explain why trollocks are killed by the gates – maybe they’re forbidden from entering T'A'R and are killed not by the gates but by presence of T'A'R in-between them?

 What do you think?

I can dig it.  Can't think of anything that contradicts that.

Since the direct action of dreamspikes are only present in T'A'R (the globes) and are not seen in real world, the problem with travelling would mean gates need access to TA'R to open properly and the globes are preventing that. That leads to conclusion that travelling is done through T'A'R, just in a way that is not directly visible.

Look into dream shards.

There's some interesting stuff regarding T'A'R as the hub of all worlds.

 

Gateways wouldn't actually use T'A'R, but could be T'A'R adjacent...
