Opening this channel to share evidence.

I found an incomplete chess set made out of bone.

It seems I found another part of your chess set.

[voidbound]

Interesting.

What do you think could be their purpose?
?

[the_fourteenth]

Not sure how something like this ended up here. It definitely doesn't look Japanese, and is quite old. It had to have come from a rift.

[voidbound]

Considering the theme, they may be based on the Isle of Lewis Chessmen.

[Give him a moment to do a quick internet search on that.]

Then possibly much older than I expected, if they're the real deal.

That means they'd also thematically fit with the drinking horn Dirk had found.

Vikings in Japan. People would make movies about this sort of thing.

Do you know anything about the possibility of travel through the rift?

[the_fourteenth]

It's definitely possible. We've already done it. We had to go to the Underworld.

So this latest rift must be related to ancient Scandinavia. I never considered these rifts crossing time, only space. But after we went to the Underworld and back through one, anything is possible.</font?

[voidbound]

In my world, it's possible. So I expect it to be possible elsewhere.

Though if this is the case, then it means time and space alike are endangered by these rifts.

Before arriving here, I travelled what's known as the Akarana Corridor. A pathway between worlds and time. When we needed to go to the Underworld, I was going to see if I could possibly access it again. It would take a tremendous amount of power I know I can't access on my own. Luckily, we found the source rift and entered that way.

Closing rifts forever would mean not just safeguarding this world, but others. And if we could control it ourselves, we might be able to voluntarily travel as opposed to pulling Outsiders in at random, or "sending them home" out of nowhere.
