from //Interdimensional Urban Spaces: A Practical Handbook//\n\nEvery city has a shop-between-the-worlds. It can often be found in the most aggressively nondescript mall, past the food court, sometimes nestled between fast-fashion conglomerates that source their products from the same ten factories as the chain next door. Carry a mirror-shard in your pocket, and turn around twice: widdershins if you're unforgiven, sunwise if not. The door will appear in the corner of your vision, painted the same neutral color of the wall: tasteful and focus-tested at the time of construction.\n\nWhen entering the shop, you should know what you seek. "To browse", "escape", "a cure for heartache", are all acceptable answers. Speak clearly to the stag-horned trader, apostate of the restless hunt. Don't ask her about that. If you conceal your heart, or attempt to dissemble, what you leave with will turn to ash in your pockets.

The Guide Into Faerie\n\n//On Portals, Paths, and Roads//\n\nPseudo-Boethius<<revise this "¹" end>>, in a version of De Consolatione Philosophiae considered a hoax (or at the very least apocryphal by scholars)<<revise that "²" end>>, writes "of the paths that lead from goodness, none are as strange and enchanting as the forest way; for thus are the souls of men ensnared from contemplation of the Divine by the fickleness of daimones". Long translated by scholars of the occult as "demons", the passage resurfaces in a 19th century journal of Lady D----h<<revise other "³" end>>. There, she copies out the line, and adds "the mistranslation by the ██████ Society is incorrect; the path is clearly the Faerie Road between our world and theirs, and at a crossroads where the restless dead wander, the veil is thin enough for those with enough sight to peer into the realms beyond."\n\nNotes:\n<<insertion this>>¹: Called "Pseudo-Boethius" for its inclusion at the back of a 10th(?) c text of De Consolatione Philosophiae, as well as considerable care taken to mimic Boethius' Latin prose style. The Medieval Latin used is nevertheless several centuries past Boethius' own, but no clear author has ever emerged. (Boethians and most late antique scholars will refuse to discuss the historicity of the text, much less its subject matter.)<<endinsertion>>\n<<insertion that>>²: originally found in a cloister's library on the coast of ██████, the history of its transcription is murky beyond this monastic tradition. An offshoot of ████████████, it focused on meditation, fasting, and the ritual use of psychoactive substances to gain audience with the Divine.<<endinsertion>>\n<<insertion other>>³: Lady D----h's interest in spiritualism peaked after the death of her lover in a riding accident. Drawing on Lord D----h's capital, she visited a number of mediums who claimed to be able to speak to her child on the other side of the veil, but grew attached to one in particular, who claimed an Irish familiar named ███████. In time, Lady D----h wrote that the spirit began manifesting to her,<<endinsertion>>
