NLStrabo owes it's concept to the movie serials from America, especially those from the early 1900's through the 50's. There is adventure, there are "astounding" graphics, and the story is episodic. From Wiki: "Also known as "chapter plays", they were extended motion pictures broken into a number of segments called "chapters" or "episodes". Each chapter would be screened at the same theater for one week. The serial would end with a cliffhanger in which the hero and heroine would find themselves in a perilous situation from which there apparently could be no escape. Viewers would have to return in subsequent weeks to see the cliffhangers resolved and to follow the continuing story." "Serials were especially popular with children, and for many youths in the first half of the 20th century a typical Saturday at the movies included a chapter of at least one serial, along with animated cartoons, newsreels, and two feature films."

At Endstone, Chance asked Nessum, "How did they make the first Kedhy?" Nessum answered easily, "I do not know, I died before it was necessary." Chance knew that Nessum had long ago sated himself on history after his death. Nessum was lying aloud about something Chance knew for certain. Kehdy did not appear magically; it was confected to control and rule.	Episode 66 Before Kehdy	Chance turned to Misdan who said, "I was born long afterward - during the Fifth Kehdy. History did not interest me." There was a pause then she continued, "However, dear mage, there is a way to find out - enter a time hole." She laughed and left. Chance looked at Nessum who supplied, "A time hole is a weak place in reality - there are gaps to step through. It is more complex than that. There are nuances."





Chance stood as still as possible and listened. More breeze than sound. he heard, "Things are not as they seem, dear mage. But, now that you are here - why?" The dark space Chance floated in was a stillness, not quite a silence. He waited unwilling to relax even the smallest grip on his magic. Misdan's voice came again, "After all, Chance, the enemy of my enemy is my friend - isn't that what you are thinking?"
