Synopsis |
The world of the hermetic Garage
To create the hermetic Garage, major Grubert used thirteen generators of expenseurs for Grubert purpose to transform an asteroid into world of pocket. The failure of only one of these generators would involve the collapse of these worlds. The people of the worlds of the hermetic Garage are not conscious of living in an asteroid but think of living in an open world; they do not know the existence of the major nor of Ciguri, except for some spies of the major, or his enemies who would like to take possession of this world.
Geography of the hermetic Garage
Best description than one could make hermetic Garage is: Aléatoires grounds, although this term seems devoted to certain part of this world which resemble the historical ground (or rather , such as for example the American West of the American Civil War).
The world of the hermetic garage is organized in three levels.
The first level was created by Kowalski injury, probably an old conquest of major Grubert. It contains the Schwans country. It is a wild level and little populated.
The second level is a world having a leading-edge technology, but therefore hyperindustrialized. It contains vestiges of civilizations old (like pyramids in the desert). The capital of this level is the city of Armjouth, the "pearl of the tundra", famous for its public garden of the sheet of Rizla1. Among the large cities, let us mentionons Mrhu, and Bolzedurra, the quoted abandoned one. This level contains also the country of Syldaïn-Dolchigne, with its zones of Onix and the area of Carn Finehac.
The ultimate level is a mechanical universe containing the generators of expenseurs.
