Setting
The story of Broken Sky takes place across two worlds, The Dominions and Kirin Taq, which are parallel universes, with characters known as Resonants able to "shift" themselves, others, and objects between the two worlds. The name Broken Sky comes from a myth introduced in the series that the two worlds of Kirin Taq and The Dominions were once one world, before the sky ‘split’ and they became two; though whether this is meant in a more figurative sense is left unclear throughout.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“May we two stand,
When we are dead, beyond the setting suns,
A little from other shades apart,
With mingling hair, and play upon one lute.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problem.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
