If I could give a character advice, I would tell them that Kaylee's Earth(our Earth) is at the bottom of the waterfall void. i would also tell them that there is another world like theirs in the Bermuda Triangle. I know this because of how Kaylee describes getting into the Dragon's Triangle and how Alex went around the Triangle world. Kaylee went from Earth, and went "up the waterfall" and into their world.

The moral universe for Artimé is very similar to the one that we are familiar with. There is freedom similar to the one we know here, and there are limits, like here. This is to contrast the gray land of Quill, where creativity is prohibited, and blindly following orders and instructions is taught. The standards of Grimere are not very clearly known, as it is a foreign land. It seems to be a mix of the two extremes.

The genre of "The Unwanteds" and many of their sequels was utopian and dystopian, with Artimé being a utopia, and Quill being a dystopia. There was also lots of fantastical elements, with magic and dragons and the like. The Unwanteds Quests focus more on the fantasy dragons, and less on Artimé. There is still a dystopia in the land of Grimere, but Artimé is shown as less of a utopia, as it descends into a civil war.
