Yes, and no. This world was created with intention. Though it is ruled by mages and fae alike, the decisions upon its creation are outside of our hands. Those who come in by normal means and not bound by familiars maintain themselves. That's why Arthur has no magic, and I have all my magic. We come as-is.
Those who come in by means of familiar are bound to the rules you are bound to. It takes a wicked amount of power to bring in this many people at once, the only way to do it was by forcing you all to use Avalon's specific magics so you'd replenish all the magic being drained to freeze time in the whole of the multiverse at once, awaken familiars, drag your fine asses all here once they work with the seers to find the people they can bond with, blah blah blah you see where I'm going with this? Avalon's magic works like a seed. You plant one, it grows into a flower, the flower grows more seeds and the magic spreads and replenishes itself. You plant too many seeds at once and it can't all grow at once, grow them too fast and they aren't nurtured and well-developed enough for you all to survive and step forward with a new form of magic. The Collision is a giant wildfire burning the field of flowers, the forest, and the entire multiverse to the ground and we're throwing water at it and trying to grow more plants here until we can reclaim enough magic to not only maintain a time freeze on the entire multiverse, but find a way to walk through that time freeze and recover Excalibur from the middle of a singularity.
But if you came back normally after all this is over, you could do whatever you do so long as Morganna doesn't stop you from doing it.
That explains everything. Well, everything I asked anyway.
[It sure raises a heck of a lot more questions, but now... now Morgan believes he has the answers to exactly how this magic, their arrival here, violates so many profound facts and truths about existence, and reconciles the parts about time and space that just don't flow.]
[Frankly, it scares the holy hell out of him.]
Will people be allowed to stay in Avalon when all this is done? Or will they have to return, and potentially find their way back directly?
That's right, you've been going around asking on behalf of the passed and people who don't want to go home. Can't say I blame you. They may need to take a visit to the Land of Maidens to make it last once time restarts. They're the ones who saved Arthur, but they probably won't be allowed to return to their worlds to preserve timelines, you know. They'll be stuck with Avalon magics. Everyone will have to seek Queen Elphame's permission, too. Fae don't take well to being disrespected, and inhabiting a fae world without their permission would be just that.
Gotcha. I think the big worry is, this isn't just going to be a "mission accomplished, suddenly snap everyone is back without warning" sort of deal, is it? I know that may be a bit much to predict this far ahead of the game.
That sounds like a nightmare and a half. You don't just save the multiverse and pop everyone home like it didn't happen. What kind of bonkers worlds have you people been hopping around?
Hey, for all I know, the energy necessary to haul us out of frozen space-time will snap back as soon as the cosmos unsticks itself. Better to ask ahead of time without assuming, right?

Does that help at all?
