The Passageways

The Passageways are huge maze of tunnels/passages stretching out underneath the mortal and transfigurational world. Very few people know about them. Even Annie and the Figgs do not know about them at the beginning of the book.

These tunnels are the only way to travel from mortal world to transfigurational world without special vehicles that are very difficult to create, enchant and program. Sierra Hawston uses them to go between the worlds and talk to Zaine while still living most of her life in the mortal world.

There are enchanted entrances to the Passageways all over. The ones most often mentioned in this book are the one on the wall of STP and one at Sierra Hawston's own house in the mortal world. In the Passageways, there are shops, libraries, studies, restaurants, and even living quarters. Transfigurational people acutally live down there for a safe and unique life.
