Milliways

“The lake is surrounded by three things: the Milliways building itself, a huge forest, and a small mountain range off in the distance. The higher she goes, the more stubbornly indistinct these three features become. The forest seems to go on forever; the mountains refuse to let her peek over them; the building retreats into a concealing fog like a distant landmark in a video game.” - Stella flying above Milliways.

Milliways is the restaurant at the end of the universe.^[1] It connects most of the worlds known in Effulgence, providing doors to "interesting people", in place of the door they expected, at whim. It has an infinite menu and is managed by a sentient bar known only as Bar who typically communicates by writing on drink napkins.

Appearance

Interior

Rough sketch of Milliways by Alicorn Besides the Bar and table area, Milliways has rooms upstairs that can be rented and rooms downstairs which belong to the cleaning, infirmary and security staff.^[2] The seating area has a large window that overlooks the sky with exploding stars.^[3]

Exterior

The outside has a lake, a forest, a moutain range and the bar itself, all of which are dimensional anomalies with no visible end no matter how far you go. In Effulgence, the Belltower is added later; it is currently occupied by Jane's physical form.
