Kirjien

Kirjien is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. It is described as a place where stories and dreams hold significant power and can manifest physically. The planet's environment is often depicted as fluid and ever-changing, reflecting the narrative nature of its inhabitants and their world. Kirjien is not a typical celestial body in a scientific sense but rather a metaphysical location within the novel's intricate mythology. Its existence is tied to a vast underground library and a hidden world where tales are preserved and experienced. The concept of Kirjien serves as a central element to the novel's exploration of storytelling, fate, and the interconnectedness of narratives. It is a place where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, and where the act of reading and writing can profoundly shape existence. The inhabitants of Kirjien, though not extensively detailed, are implied to be deeply connected to the world of stories, possibly acting as guardians or embodiments of these narratives. The planet's overall atmosphere is one of mystery, wonder, and a touch of melancholy, reflecting the themes of longing and discovery present in "The Starless Sea."
