Outside


 * "Outside the Tower, there exists a vast world, rolling skies stretch endlessly, and countless stars illuminate the darkness. A place that is a thousand times -- no, a billion times wider and freer than the tower."
 * - Urek Mazino describes the world outside the tower.

The Tower is a world unto itself; each floor is a massive, continent-sized civilization over which Rankers and Administrators rule. The vast majority of inhabitants (excluding only Irregulars) was born within the Tower, and the vast majority will die there, never knowing another world exists. Yet according to Urek Mazino, the Tower is tiny compared to the world outside. Little is known about this outside world -- only Irregulars enter the Tower from the outside, and even they do not know how to leave.

Urek Mazino, who supposedly entered the Tower tracking Phantaminum, now seeks a way to leave; inspired by him, Wolhaiksong seeks the same goal, though none of them but him have ever seen the world outside.

Urek Mazino described it as a vast and open world, full of rolling skies and stars. Similarly, when speaking to Baam immediately before entering the Tower, Rachel said "If you climb the tower, you'll be able to go outside...  you can see a blue sky during the day and a starry sky during the night." It is unknown why she felt she needed to enter the Tower to reach this place.

In Of the Tower's Weapons, Ashul Edwaru writes that in talking to Irregulars, he learned that, surprisingly, "...there's no Shinsoo in their world, and something called "air" fills their world instead." He also writes that all the weapons used in the Tower are modelled after weapons from outside the Tower, which were brought in by Zahard and the 10 Great Warriors when they entered from the outside.

According to the Great Father Macseth, the Workshop, Gong Bang, also exists outside of the Tower; it's unknown how this is possible or how Macseth can know this.
