"There are, as far as we can tell, infinitely many worlds. I know there's been discussion in Hell of the bizarre phenomenon where conjuring for all worlds doesn't get anything new but then a few years later someone new will show up, with a long established history; this is because of a phenomenon called adjacency, where some worlds neighbor each other and some do not. Travel of any kind is only possible between adjacent worlds. Summoning works in the worlds adjacent to the daeva realms. The three new worlds that started summoning recently are ones whose stars were destroyed and who we brought over so they're now in range. There's a transit network, extranet, and political associations among many worlds in the multiverse. Endorë and this Earth have been left ignorant of it because it would be extraordinarily dangerous for the means of conjurable dimensional travel to become widely known in Hell."
