The Great Egg Theory

Most people in the Tense River Basin have too much worry about with their ordinary lives to bother wondering where they sit in the universe. But there are always a few who dare to question and search for these answers. Through explorations, witness accounts, and magical investigation a small cabal of thinkers has come up with what they call the Great Egg Theory.
You see, the Tense River Basin is sizable, but its not the size of a continent. Ultimately it is a small place, the sort that could fit almost anywhere. Yet it doesn’t have contact with anyone outside of its own little bubble of space. Those who try to leave almost never return, or if they do it seems to be displaced in time. And only a few oddities from the outside ever seem to wash up on the shores.
The philosoflumphs of the Wherestone caves posit that the entire Tense River Basin is inside of a great cosmic egg. Something beyond the world they could normally understand or witness, but on the inside things were ordinary if tense. On the outside, it seems like a storm blocking out the horizon. But the Whenwinds are only the top side of the egg, the part above the ground. The part below, Wherestone. A prismatic ore that one can become dramatically lost within. Even less is known about the Howcurrents at the edges of the sea.

Wherestone Ore

Trade Good

Rare Transmediamogrification

Wherestone Ore is only found in the barrier mountains around the southern side of the Tense River Basin. People get lost there, navigating those mazes is certain doom for most. There is only a paper thin wall of Wherestone, but people have been digging into it for hundreds of years at least and it creates deep tunnels all folded into that paper thin layer.

The ore is prismatic, it somehow feels dark but warm deep over saturated glints of color scatter off from the light in all directions. It is denser than lead, but also bouyant in water.
