	The exact nature of a Travelers power is dependent on the Territory they draw from and what they have earned from it.

			Before they became the Territories, they were the broken fragments of dead worlds which ended up attached to the Iteration of Amalgam.<ref>https://abidanarchive.com/events/4/#e129</ref> Because [[The Way and The Worlds\|the Way]] between the Territories and Amalgam is thin, they often bleed together, which typically manifests in the form of natural Gates not opened by any Traveler.<ref name=":1">https://abidanarchive.com/events/1/#e917</ref> Ordinarily, when worlds bleed into each other like this, the bleeding gets faster and faster until they collide. However, Amalgam has uniquely formed a stable relationship with these fragments, which means that they are free to grow without risking the Iteration.<ref name=":1" />

			When a Territory is young, it requires a Founder, which is the person whose will shapes the Territory to the highest degree.<ref name=":2">https://abidanarchive.com/events/1/#e918</ref> In time, a Territory will grow more stable and no longer require a Founder. Valinhall is the only known Territory which still needs one.<ref name=":2" /> The Avernus Incarnation believed that a Founder could not become an Incarnation<ref>''City of Light'', chapter 18, "A Conversation in Avernus."</ref>, but this was proven wrong by [[Valin]], the Founder of [[Valinhall]], becoming its Incarnation.
