You know what I'm talking about. The Syrneth, the Sidhe and all that. The setting made it clear that it was genetics and technology that were secretly behind all the "magic". But why?
I always figured that the Sidhe were five-dimensional creatures, possibly ascended humans in the far, far future who explored human legends for fun. Like Theah is one of several "real" simulations studying human development.
I'm thinking that it's on some other dimensional plane and that the 7th Sea itself is a path to apotheosis. What do y'all think?
