In fact, among the more superstitious mortals of the city, the Nobles are regarded as English peasants once regarded the fae -- the things they can do are called Glamour. (Suffient technology, indeed.) And not without reason: The Nobles are capricious and very interested in human creativity. They trade food for art, and this is why they maintain Mortality in its broken state: They believe that scarcity and mortality produce the best art, and their definition of "art" is pretty broad. To them, a tragic life is art as well.

--Hello dear, just a thematic suggestion that you might want to consider this place a part of a Warp instead of 'Extra Warp', just on the idea that perhaps Extra Warp things should be uncommon to give them more of a zing. Mayhap a Bottom experiment? Or an abberative test in Top? I'm looking forward to critters making creations that can explore this world you've created -:) --Zoe

Well, the thing is, I think the stuff outside The Mess is underutilized, so I very specifically wanted Mortality outside The Mess and difficult to get to. This doesn't mean it's not a Bottom or Top experiment, just that it isn't anywhere near Bottom or whatever, tho it might be accessible via the zipways. I've deliberately left out any sense of origin... Of course, if you want to beat me to creating the zone and quietly link it to one of the Warps, I can't and won't stop you. :) --Morty
