Iteration #110
Cradle is Iteration #110 in The Way and The Worlds. It’s distantly tended by the Judges of the heavenly Abidan, including Suriel the Phoenix. Supposedly, Cradle is the safest Iteration among thousands, safer than Sanctum even:
But here she was, shirking her duties in the safest world of all creation. Even Sanctum was more likely to fall to corruption than this place. Cradle was the birthplace of the Abidan. . .(Unsouled, ch 6)
But later.. .
Important worlds like Cradle, Haven, Sanctum, and Asylum would be protected. Even in the event of total system collapse, the Abidan would collect and quarantine these worlds, their last bastion against the infinite chaos. But in times like this, anything could go wrong. Cradle might be safer than anywhere else, but it wasn’t safe. (Unsouled, epilogue)
