Sun World
Profile
The surface plane of Elbaf — the giants’ living world above — the middle tier of the island’s three-world cosmology (see Elbaf’s Three Worlds). Named on-page as the counterpart to The Underworld (aka “The First World”) far below; reached from the Underworld by a lift. Distinct from the Three-Worlds concept and from the Underworld — cross-linked, not merged.
Etymology
“Sun World” fits Elbaf’s Norse/solar imagery — the sunlit surface tier above the shadowed Underworld.
Key chapters
- Ch. 1140 — first named on-page (p.12 caption “…served up to us on a platter… The Sun World”).
