Sherk tried to touch that next level, but fell short. Then used a ladder to get back up there, then fell off the ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
