The sun runs along the center.\nMainframe, as I have always assumed is dircetly opposite to the \"floor\" of\nwhich the cities have been built on. I've also assumed the the Mainframe is\nupsidedown, or hanging from the roof (the building roofs are closer to the\nsun). So then, what could be on the sides of the Whorl? What do you have to\ngo through to get to the Mainframe by foot? As I recall the mountains\nseperate the Mainframe from the Ground. And so the mountains cast shadows\nupon the Ground (and the Mainframe, in the other direction). But, there are\nsome problems with this theory, this is just speculation on my part. So tell\nme what you think.\n\n                                                                            \n    Xury"
