Structures of the network
The Span
The great crossing, and the largest structure in the network. Ships pass through its throat; regions lie on its far side. Where a junction is a door, the Span is the road that door opens onto — and 'the far side of the Span' is a place, not a metaphor.

About the structures of the network
Not every feature of the Seam network is a junction. These are the larger structures the novels build on, and they are frequently mistaken for one another.
