Known Dimensions

  • Klah: Backwater dimension from which Skeeve hails. General populace (Klahds) are afraid of demons and magik. Kingdom of Possiltum and Twixt are the only places worth mentioning.
  • Deva: Merchant capital of the dimensions. Inhabited by the Deveels, traders supreme. As Aahz puts it, "if you think you've gotten a good deal from a Deveel, first count your fingers, then your limbs, then your relatives". The Bazaar on Deva is the only place of interest, a dimension-wide round-the-clock flea market which sells every conceivable magikal device and artifact.
  • Perv: High-tech dimension where Magik and technology are equal. Pervish cooking is one of the worst smells in all the dimensions (besides Gleep's breath). Pervects are short-tempered and disquieting rumors circulate about them, which Pervects encourage so that people do not visit. Do not ever call them "Perverts".
  • Limbo: Dark dimension filled with vampires and were-things, such as werewolves, werebears, weresnakes, and weretigers. Chief city is Blut, notable people are Vilhelm the Dispatcher, and Drahcir and Idnew: the Woof Writers, a husband and wife team of werewolves (homages to Wendi and Richard Pini). The low amount of force-lines limit magik here, and offworlders are viewed as terrifying monsters by the older vampires. Skeeve's house in the Bazaar has a back door which opens into Limbo.
  • Jahk: Humanoid dimension where the average inhabitants are either short and obese or extremely thin. Every year, the Big Game is played to determine whether Veygus or Ta-Hoe is the capital of the dimension. Players are practically another species, extremely muscled and large. The winner of the Big Game used to claim the Trophy, but the hideous thing is now in the possession of Aahz, after the Skeeve-founded team "The Demons" won it in a three-way brawl. Following their victory and subsequent confiscation of the Trophy (and with it Jahk's method of selecting their capital) a Common Council was put together to rule the dimension.
  • Avis: Dimension full of sentient birds. No areas of interest. Do not visit Avis unless you can fly and you like foods of the crawly variety.
  • Gastropo: A dimension full of snail-like inhabitants. The preferred mode of transport is walking, although that takes hours just to move a block. Unadvisable to visit. As Tananda would put it, they have no cargo but plenty of es-cargo(t).
  • Arcadia: A pleasant dimension "controlled" by a hard-working philanthropist named Hoos.
  • Kow-Tow: An extremely remote dimension that superficially resembles the American "Wild West", but is actually a breeding ground for humans so that the vampire cows can suck their blood. Contains a huge nexus of magic force-lines.
  • Scamaroni: A dimension with a smell-oriented race that has a reputation for being made up of suckers.
  • Kobol: A dimension of technology enthusiasts.
  • Ronko: A dimension filled with televisions and advertising.
  • Wuh: Rural dimension that is home to cowardly, sheep-like shopaholics called Wuhses.
  • Sear: A bleak desert dimension inhabited by tiny soil-dwelling critters.
  • Ori: A dimension whose inhabitants resemble house cats.
  • Walt: The natives look a bit like a mix between storks and ostriches, and are famous for their dancing prowess.
  • Febrile: Coolest Temperature is over one hundred and twenty.
  • Molder: A dark, damp place where everything always seems to be changing. Even the ground seems to grow and move under your feet.
  • Etc.: One long, straight road with identical buildings on both sides. Inhabited by creatures that look and dress identical. Gray suits, gray hair, gray face, two arms. All move at the identical time and in the same direction.
  • Bumppp: Wide meadow filled with thick plants and orange flowers. blue sky and pink mountains. Inhabited by large snake creatures that appear to be hostile.

Dimensions that have been mentioned but not explicitly depicted:

  • Imper: Not much is known about Imper except that it is close to Deva and the Imps were wiped out financially by the Deveels. The Imps have since tried to mimic the Deveels (whom they physically resemble) with only marginal success. The kindest thing anyone has said about Imps is that they are snappy dressers.
  • Trollia: Chumley and Tanda's home dimension. The males are Trolls, and the females are Trollops.
  • Rinasp: A dimension that suffered a ghastly fate when Tanda was hired to go there on a collection job.
  • Archiah: The dimension that "invented archery".
  • Zoorik: Home of the Gnomes, who are implied to be financial wizards.
  • Ratislava: Whose inhabitants created an extremely powerful magical device that was then stolen and taken off-dimension.
  • Mantico: Home of the formidable Manticore race.
  • Djinger: Home and base of operations for the Djinns. The Djinns, like the Imps, were hit hard by the cut-throat tactics of the Deveels, so they started providing emigrant magickal labor in bottles and lamps. Males are Djinns, females are Djeanies.
  • Trofi: A dimension that has no businessmen, instead, everything is won in contests. It is also the dimension known for matchmaking. Many dimension travelers want a Trofi wife.

Famous quotes containing the word dimensions:

    Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Why is it that many contemporary male thinkers, especially men of color, repudiate the imperialist legacy of Columbus but affirm dimensions of that legacy by their refusal to repudiate patriarchy?
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
