The planet of D’ahls orbits around a dying star, whose dimming light hardly pierces through the heavy cloud and rain of the planet. Out of 514 days of a single D’ahls year, there are about 400 days of constant rainfall. Almost no animals are native to the planet, yet some species of ferns can still be found, plus a burgeoning amount of moss, lichen and fungi.

At No. 1 Dream Exchange, all sorts of dreams are being offered and purchased. You can find any dreams imaginable here: large ones, small ones, living ones, dead ones, ones told in sequence, ones told in reverse, belligerent ones, caring and elegant ones, fried ones, hard-boiled ones, ones wearing cat-eared housemaid suits, or ones that smells like soap bubbles or lemonade soda. You name it.

The Taosians were born architects. They were the spatial artists of the psychic domains. The dreams they created branched into luxuriant foliage, as if pagodas of thousand layers, or myriad fractals. Some Taosian master architects wandering near Lyra could even construct tunnels that spanned the entire eleven dimensions of the Universe. They were also able to traverse the expanse of parallel worlds via mere spiritual embodiment.
