In the past the Twisted Street was described as a long black stone of unknown origin and that walking along it would take the traveler in and out of random worlds as the Street existed on all worlds at the same time. It was totally indestructible and went on infinitely with some carefully orchestrated magic in place to generally keep people on the world of Twisted. Since current events have "shattered" the street, this description has been revised. It is now considered common knowledge that each piece of the Twisted Street does indeed exist on a random world in the multiverse, but not necessarily as a solid road. The pieces may be on any number of roads and are always connected to their point of origin. Because of this each "pebble" of the street could potentially send a traveler to it's world of origin at random - something that is particularly more common the further one gets from the center of the Twisted Street. As the road has been shattered those pieces (which cannot be destroyed by any means) are slowly pulling themselves together and the final configuration is entirely based upon which pieces pull themselves together first.

The Twisted Street(#5213R)
Appropriately-named, this street seems to bend and twist as the eye perceives it. This fact in no way discourages the world's denizens from freely moving along it, rendering any concept of the 'middle' of the road rather moot, and begging caution from even the toughest pedestrians. Nonetheless, this street is much-frequented, in no small part thanks to the invitingly rustic, wood-panelled front of the famous Usual Restaurant, whose painted sign swings to and fro in the pleasant lamplight beneath its awning.Opposite the Usual, on the south side, Twisted Street forms a promenade of sorts as it overlooks Zeku-Kari beach. Further to the east, it curves to become a makeshift and decidely unlikely bridge over the edge of Lake Emepherea, where the housing district can be found.
To the west, the street becomes more unstable.
