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:
“The real risks for any artist are taken ... in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it—when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“Americans see history as a straight line and themselves standing at the cutting edge of it as representatives for all mankind. They believe in the future as if it were a religion; they believe that there is nothing they cannot accomplish, that solutions wait somewhere for all problems, like brides.”
—Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
