Intent

Overview
A boy searching for answers to crucial issues finds himself in a strange place inhabited by Meanings, The Higher Tier, a superstructure above the world masterminding everything below. The guide he met there tends to get to some place called Wellspring to "readjust" or make it right for people below to end their suffering. On their way they meet various characters wandering around The Tier in their search for Meanings. The boy becomes an object of confrontation for struggling powers and gains knowledge about events the world is about to experience.
