What is Cidri?

Because it's not. Because Magic.

Mind you, I don't particularly care whether anyone wants to claim that Cidri is a tremendous Dyson sphere powered by a captured singularity at its center, or maybe that it's a huge flat disc nestled in the branches of the World Tree with ocean-sized waterfalls running off the sides, or even that it's a giant bio-technological Space Beehive fueled by Handwavium. Why should I care? Whatever makes 'em happy.

But to paraphrase a proverb, just don't expel bodily fluids on me and then blame the precipitation. We're playing with Swords & Sorcery here, and Science wasn't even invited to the party. It's Magic, period. Science is clear across town, passed out in an alley and using a near-empty bottle of Everclear as a pillow.

At the end of the day, I couldn't agree more. Frankly, I think it's an enormous planet powered by fun, but that's just me! And if you get a little of your superscience in my magic, well, that's how Reece's Peanutbutter cups got created, wasn't it? So it's all good.
