When it is in this world, Tsorelai Mundya is on a small landmass that
emerges in the middle of the Black Sea... sometimes other parts of Teon
have been observed in the Caspian Sea, and I know for a fact that
islands
with towns on it have pushed up into Morris Dam in the San Gabriel
Mountains
behind Glendora, California. :) Otherwise, Tsorelai Mundya is in the
country
of Teon, uniting Ilirila, Menarila, and Melpomnea, the three major
provinces
of the Teonim, on the continent of Feleonhhea (named for a
cat-worshipping people).
This is on a world called Nenddeyly, which has a sister planet called
Rrordaly.
There are hostile relations between these two worlds, and each is
jealously
guarding technologies that neither wants the other to have.  Nenddeyly,
not
unanimously supported by its various peoples, has imperfectly mastered
the
art of following the Niffistery Eptrot, "the matter tunnels" (shortcuts
through matter and time), whereas Rrordaly has almost perfectly mastered
the Fandary Felrreot, the art of robotics and artificial intelligence.
I haven't started exploring their language; it is related to Teonaht.
But
I'm not done, yet, with Teonaht, to start on that.

At any rate, I don't know how Nenddeylyt technology works.  It sends
parts
of their city--or simulations of it--to earth, but they're not in
complete
control of it.  Sometimes it ends up in other places.  At any rate,
they've
been here, and borrowed from us, for several thousand years, which
explains
their strong connection to Indo-European and Middle-Eastern ideas while
having an otherworldly dimension to them.

The Teonim who allow a visitor into the city when it's unstable and
don't make
an effort to get someone out before it "melts" have taken into their
midst men,
women, and children of earth.  Sometimes the Teonim get stranded on our
side.
Like Issytra.  She's here to stay.
