Multipant

Multipant is a term used in the context of fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy, to describe a story that takes place across multiple, interconnected worlds or dimensions. This concept allows authors to explore diverse settings, cultures, and timelines within a single narrative framework. Multipant stories often involve characters who travel between these worlds, either through natural phenomena, technological means, or magical abilities. This structure can create a rich tapestry of storylines, allowing for complex character development, thematic exploration, and world-building. Notable examples of multipant narratives include the "Dune" series by Frank Herbert and the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan. The term "multipant" is derived from the combination of "multi" (meaning many) and "pant" (short for "pantheon," referring to a collection of gods or deities), reflecting the idea of multiple worlds or dimensions.
