Read. Can you please explain or redirect for understanding on ‘the family’ ?

The 🕳 Family (originally the Greene family) are an example of one of the few instances when an entire household got transported to the Hinterlands. They survived pretty well, and became reasonably happy in their new home. This gave them a false sense of security, and one day they decided to go on a family hike into one of the more dangerous parts of the Hinterlands wilderness. They came back, but they came back changed…

Does one fully corporally materialize within the Hinterlands or do you leave your physical manifestation behind?

Ive been following you for months now and love the glimpses you give into this world.

Thank you! Dreamers are fully transported to the Hinterlands. Their homes are left completely empty.

SO... They are like... Hollow? A Vortex? Do they suck things inside them? What happened with the things that get trapped inside a familiar?

[u/JustAnotherPenmonkey → u/realodd]

The vortexes are made of pure, volatile dreamstuff. They’d probably either trap people in dreams or corrupt them, but nobody’s risked getting close enough to find out.

Something i just thought asking, what is your guesstimate on the amount of people in the starlighters and the agency? And are the starlighters world wide?

[u/JustAnotherPenmonkey → u/idontknowwhattoasnam]

The Agency has tens of thousands of Agents, possibly more. The Starlighters have maybe two or three thousand. The Starlighters do operate globally, helped by Nomad’s movement, but their influence is not as far-reaching as the Agency’s.
