(CHRESTOMANCI) canon notes;
The Related Worlds.
Called the Related Worlds because they all speak the same languages. Each world is divided into sets called Series, and there are usually nine worlds to a Series. Eleven only has one world, and is the exception.
Series Twelve: Normal, mostly. Just like ours.
|| World A: Oriented on magic, which is normal for most worlds. Christopher's world.
|| World B: Split off in the 14th century, oriented on science and machinery. The most like ours.
|| World C: Split off in Roman times, full of empires.
|| (Goes up to I.)
Series Eleven: Bad. Ruled by the Dright. Tacroy's world.
Series Ten: A twist to the stream. Hot and sandy, with snake charmers. Millie's world.
|| A different valley has a vast dockside with huge cranes and rusty iron ships.
Series Nine: The smallest stream. Hot and wet with jungles and fungus. A tropical world. Good hot cocoa.
Series Eight: Christopher doesn't like it much. Bleak and stony, people have garlic breath. Dragons.
Series Seven: A mountain series. Has a Great Glacier. There's snow, but it's hot. Ferns and trees, but icy. It's like looking at the north pole and the equator all at once. Conrad's world.
Series Six: Living in an ice age.
Series Five: The anywhere with the silly ladies (mermaids). All islands, none larger than France, with blue sea and white sand.
Series Two: Has a lot of water. A maze of bridges over rivers.
Series One: The original world of the twelve. The great Mages of One first discovered the worlds and did the numbering.
How Christopher lost his lives.
9. A spear to the chest, courtesy of the Arm of Asheth. // Curtain pole to the chest.
8. Iron hook to the head in Series Ten. // Hit in head with a cricket bat by Oneir.
7. Fell off a tower while exploring Chrestomanci Castle and broke his neck.
6. Tripped over Throgmorten, fell down the stairs, and broke his neck... again.
5. Burnt by a dragon in Series Eight. // Set himself on fire while out on a hike with Flavian.
** Millie stole one of his lives, making him appear to only have three remaining. Eventually Mordecai Roberts goes to fetch it.
** Gabriel de Witt removed his ninth life and put it in the castle safe, leaving him with two. Christopher later took it back and put it in a golden ring around his neck before the events of Conrad's Fate.
4. Gave it to the Dright, then lit it on fire. This was his seventh life, according to the text.
Christopher now has three lives remaining. Two are in his body, and one is in a golden ring around his neck, which he hides with magic.
(Throgmorten, for the record, also has three lives left.)
