	'''The Dancers''' are pillars of meteorite, magnetic iron, standing in a stone circle in the kingdom of [[Lancre]]. Periodically (about once every fifty years), the barrier between dimensions weakens, and the inside of this stone circle can lead to the wintry part of [[Fairyland]], world of the [[Elves]]. They are roughly man-height, as wide as a fat man and look rather dull and unimpressive. In Fairyland however, the Dancers look a lot bigger. Though there are [[7a]] stones, only three of them are named.		'''The Dancers''' are pillars of meteorite, magnetic iron, standing in a stone circle in the kingdom of [[Lancre]].

{{wp|Michael_Moorcock|Michael Moorcock}} uses a similar conceit in his novels: he calls it ''The conjunction of the Million Spheres'', and uses it to explain why the walls of reality periodically overlap at sensitive places to form doorways in time and space, where things and people can leak from one or more plane of the [[Multiverse]] to another. This explains why the Gods of Law and Chaos can move between planes, and how several incarnations of the Eternal Champion can periodically meet up, fight a Quest together, and sell books for the Eternal Author.
