==<br /> Synopsis<ref>[[w:Torin's Passage#Plot|Wikipedia]]</ref> ==

<div class="SynopsisBox">
The protagonist of the game is [[Torin]], the son of a farming family on the planet of [[Strata]]. An evil sorceress named [[Lycentia]] (voiced by [[Christine McMerdo Wallis]]) captures his family with a magic spell and he embarks on a quest to find her and free his parents.

Torin travels to the "lands below" to worlds beneath the surface of the nested planet, through colossal crystal columns called [[Phenocrysts|phenocrysts]]. These phenocrysts transfer life-giving sunlight—and people—to the lower worlds with [[Erresdy Powder|erresdy powder]]. He is aided by a purple dog-like creature called [[Boogle]], who is able to change himself into a variety of shapes. As Torin travels downward, scenes of both his and Lycentia's pasts reveal their true relation as well as Torin learning about his true identity and the true cause for his journey.

==<br /> About ==

<blockquote>
=== The Worlds of Strata<ref>http://allowe.com/games/torin/the-worlds-of-strata.html</ref> ===

<div align="center">[[File:StrataOpeningSS.png|320px]]<br />
''Strata''</div>
&nbsp;

Torin’s Passage takes place on the nested worlds of [[Strata]]. There are five levels: 

* [[Lands Above|The Lands Above]]
* [[Escarpa]]
* [[Pergola]]
* [[Asthenia]]
* [[Tenebrous]]
* [[Null Void|The Null Void]] at the very center. 

It has three moons and at least one sun. The worlds are connected by shafts of crystal called [[phenocryst|phenocrysts]]. Crystals are abundant on Strata. They grow like mountains in the lands above and are omnipresent in the core of the planet. Phenocrysts were invented by [[Tor the First in the Unity Period]], when all the worlds were united under one ruler from the Lands Above. After his death, the worlds drifted apart spiritually and politically, but not physically.

Before Torin, the last time a phenocryst was used was when [[Lycentia]] was ostracized. Accused of a crime she didn’t commit, she was banished to the lands below. She has spent years in her makeshift home in The Null Void before Torin arrives to release her.
