When Kossara and Trohdwyr hunt in the Kazan, Kossara reflects on Trohdwyr's ychani paganism in terms that reminded me of Father Tomislav's sermon at the end of Anderson's historical fantasy, The Merman's Children (see here).
Now imagine the Creator of a multiverse that encompasses merpeople in the fourteenth century on Earth as well as Kossara and Trohdwyr on Dennitza over a thousand years in the future. They are contained in Poul Anderson's imagination if not also in a material multidimensional multiverse.

Kaor, Paul!
And, as we know, some scientists seriously speculate there actually are alternate universes/worlds. The problem being we have no way, here and now, of empirically testing the hypothesis. But I remember Poul Anderson wondering in one of his letters to me if it would be possible to access alternate universes at a black hole.
