The Point of Parting existed within the city of Plaeree, situated on the planet of Devaron. Functioning as a plaza adjacent to the city's spaceport, it provided a space for explorers to gather with family members before their off-world journeys. Eventually, the main spaceports across the world integrated their own version of the Point of Parting into their designs. While the people of Plaeree claimed this cultural practice originated in their city's ancient history, this origin story remained unconfirmed, existing primarily as a local myth.
