Kcymaerxthaere

Kcymaara.com is the leading on-line resource for Kcymaerxthaere, but Kcymaerxthaere is kind of hard to spell (and a little tricky to pronounce), so we decided to go to one of its root words for the name of the site.  And since Kcymaara is a cognate word which means “the physicality of the planet,” it seemed like the appropriate word to choose since we really wanted a map on our home page.

Kcymaerxthaere is a global (and more) work of 3-dimensional story telling.  It is an alternative universe that is largely consistent with our linear world in some ways, though it has many different stories, rules, creatures, even laws of science it seems.  Among other things, the Geographer-at-Large and his colleagues go around our linear world to find points of contact with Kcymaerxthaere and then honor these places with markers and, where possible, actual historical sites. 

In a way, it is a bit like a novel with every page in a different place.  Reading our markers and sites in situ is a kind of transformative experience that connects you to possibilities and stories in a whole new way.  And it is important to note that no one is expected to visit every site.  But, even if you just visit a few, it informs how you consider the rest—even when you see them only online.  It is like anything else that seems different in person.  And, of course, though the markers and sites are the most prominent aspect of Kcymaerxthaere (at least in our linear world), the stories are too big to fit on the plaques.  There is plenty to learn from the Geographer-at-Large’s talks, this site, and any of the various publications we do (or are planning to do).
