The setting and characters are steeped in mythic and otherworldly elements.

The chapter is steeped in mythic elements: centaurs, gods, a silver horn, and the legendary city of Zretazoola, blending the mundane with the fabulous.

The House of the Sphinx is a mythic, eerie setting where the Sphinx, a timeless being, is haunted by a forest-dwelling 'arch-inquisitor.'

The journey to World's End, the stairway over the edge of the world, Lonely House, Maharrion, and the disreputable god Duth create a mythic, otherworldly landscape.
