The Star Stone series takes place in a parallel world wherein events that take place in our own world send ripples out into the world of the The Star Stone. These ripples travel back and forth so that events that take place in The Star Stone may have visible effects in our world too.
For example, The Star Stone describes how at some time in the remote past, the Twelve, sent out their thoughts into the deep substance of the world and arranged the elements from the deepest places of the world into complex and elaborate patterns which eventually gave rise to life. This great work of the Twelve sent ripples out into our world, and those ripples have been seen throughout history as "gigantic patterns in the crops and fields of men" that would appear spontaneously to the perplexity of all who saw them.
