The reach is a place, an object and an idea at the same time.
Throughout history it was mainly forgotten, what the purpose of the Reach was but contemporary critics are certain that the Reach is based on the idea to encounter a new and better world for everybody.
The Reach is a huge bore that drills slowly through the ground. It is of the sice of at least a 3-story tall building and moves with the speed of about a snail. The Reach needs diamonds to grind the stone and the Fingers are the people responsible for that.
The Reach (Place) is the combination of the bore head and the long, exactly straight hole that has ben ground out of the earth by the Reach (Object). The tunnel has lon collapsed in many places, some are still acessible. The Tunnel originates from Switch Withawick but the inhabitants of the Reach have long forgotten about that.
Reach (Object) grinds through soil that is filled with gaps and holes, some are tunnels of the fallen ones and some are natural - all are filled with dangerous remnants and precious material or loot.
