One of the most important aspects of any world is, of course, the people who live there. The people of Celegia are no exception. One of the things which the reader must keep in mind is the fact that the world of Celegia is not Earth. The construction of the basic building blocks of matter on Earth are well known, and are hundreds of types of atoms and particles. The basic building blocks of matter on Celegia are also well known, and are the nine Fundaments. The particles and atoms on Earth behave using laws, which are reasonably well understood. The nine Fundaments on Celegia also behave using laws, and the Celegians understand them reasonably well. This means that the citizens of Celegia are neither ignorant nor wrong to believe the way they do, because in their world, the rules are different. The concept of the Fundaments and the way in which they behave are crucial to comprehending the physical world of Celegia. In Celegian terms water flows downhill because it is a plunging fundament and the fundament force causes plunging Fundaments to move downward. Air grows more abundant the higher you climb a mountain, because air is a vaulting fundament and force causes it to move upward. On Earth this is the opposite of the effect you would expect, but on Celegia it is a simple fact of life. The most valuable land in Celegia is that which is high in altitude, because life, the fundament, is a vaulting fundament. A Celegian would not understand what the word "gravity" means, since in Celegia there is no such thing as gravity. | One of the most important aspects of any world is, of course, the people who live there.
