The Edge
See also: Geography of the Edge ChroniclesThe series is set on the Edge, a huge rocky outcrop in a vast expanse of Open Sky which careens into rocky edges which plummet into an endless pit. The Edge is made up of many different environments, the first of which is the Edgelands, the very northern and southern edges of the outcrop. It is a barren rocky place forever clouded in mist, haunted by demons which can possess people and slowly drive them insane with ghostly visions of ones enemies. The Edgelands are feared because they are part of the Gloamglozer's territory. The Gloamglozer is universally considered the most feared form of life in the Edge. It borders the Mire to the east, the Twilight Woods to the north, the Edge and the Deepwoods to the west. In the tenth book of The Edge Chronicles, there is also a terrain known as Everlasting Hills, another as The Phraxfields, and the Silver Ravine.

Famous quotes containing the word edge:
“Moreover, the universe as a whole is infinite, for whatever is limited has an outermost edge to limit it, and such an edge is defined by something beyond. Since the universe has no edge, it has no limit; and since it lacks a limit, it is infinite and unbounded. Moreover, the universe is infinite both in the number of its atoms and in the extent of its void.”
—Epicurus (c. 341–271 B.C.)
“A lonely man is a lonesome thing, a stone, a bone, a stick, a receptacle for Gilbey’s gin, a stooped figure sitting at the edge of a hotel bed, heaving copious sighs like the autumn wind.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
