Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Lotto knows of the Yssgaroth, among other things, as the Shamblers.
- Lotto and Mae find Wonderland on the "great black ocean around the cosmos," the Void-Between-Worlds
- The heartland of the House of the Fallen used to be a non-world in an astral plane, but is now a mathematical shadow dimension in a "somewhat-defunct" timeline. This perplexes Lotto.
- Lady Aesculapius is apparently a frequent visitor of the library, as is a specific Jenny Everywhere.
- Mae is a shapeshifter, at various times appearing as a mouse, a cat and a Gendar girl, but enjoys appearing as a Rabbit. Frobisher, another shapeshifter, also enjoyed appearing specifically as a Penguin, although Mae's species is never stated.
- Gabriel is a "protohistoric inhabitant" of the Plume Coteries' Library. Maritsa is her only friend.
- Members of Proxima Centauri D call the planet Proxima Centauri, however this infuriates cosmologists because the other two planets in the system do the same thing.
- The Claus-Rosen Bridge looks like "some sort of prop off Stargate".

- Auteur is still Outside the Third Universe and the Library thanks to the Retconning Crocodiles. (PROSE: Resurrection of the Author [+]Loading...["Resurrection of the Author (short story)"])
- Due to the Library being on the borders of the universe, it is easier to reach the Library than the Third Universe, referencing Auteur's other scheme involving the Library. (PROSE: The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Loading...["The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)"])
