Worlds in The Series
- The Earth was destroyed.
- Four worlds were created out of the ruin. Worlds for ourselves and the mensch: Air, Fire, Stone, Water.
- Four Gates connect each world to the other: Arianus to Pryan to Abarrach to Chelestra.
- A house of correction was built for our enemies: the Labyrinth.
- The Labyrinth is connected to the other worlds through the Fifth Gate: the Nexus.
- The Sixth Gate is the center, permitting entry: the Vortex.
- And all was accomplished through the Seventh Gate.
- The end was the beginning.
- — Weis & Hickman, Into The Labyrinth pg. 9

Famous quotes containing the words worlds in, worlds and/or series:
“fast, perfect, and unwilling
to tell me that you are doing
well, or that it was mistake
that placed you in that world,
and me in this; or that misfortune
placed these worlds in us.”
—James Tate (b. 1943)
“Perchance the time will come when we shall not be content to go back and forth upon a raft to some huge Homeric or Shakespearean Indiaman that lies upon the reef, but build a bark out of that wreck and others that are buried in the sands of this desolate island, and such new timber as may be required, in which to sail away to whole new worlds of light and life, where our friends are.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
