The World

The World is called many things, in many different ways, by many different people. In the many stories told about the Mythic Maw, it has no real name. It is a concept, often a concept so fundamental that nobody bothers to mention it. A very specific world, with a very specific history, but one that might exist anywhere. There is nothing special about it, save for a few oddities here and there. But it is special for these stories, because it is the world in the Mythic Maw where they are told. Almost every single story told about the Mythic Maw takes place in The World, on Earth, located somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy. They may take place at different times, or in different locations, but they originate from here. Sometimes, The World is different from other iterations of itself— there are many The Worlds in the Maw, after all— but it is always The World.   That alone proves that the universe is far more chaotic and beautiful than anybody could ever expect it to be.
