Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celebrim" data-source="post: 6089931" data-attributes="member: 4937">The City of the Insane: At one distant edge of the plain of garbage arises a great hill, upon which is built - perhaps from debris from the plain, perhaps from illusion - a massive ruined city whose boundaries no one has ever measured.  Those that have wandered its streets claim that they have never seen the same place twice.  Some claim that it contains in ruin every building that has ever been built and ever will be built.  It has no name, but is called simply the City of the Insane, for it is they who dwell there.  This great open-air asylum is the final destination of many most demented of souls in the afterlife.  It has no ruler, no order, no hierarchy, no laws, and no governors, but at its center is Ssendam and though no one in the city serves him, none can oppose him.  If Ssendam can be said to have a will, then all there do his will whether they know it or not.  The city is crumbling and decaying in all places, which is odd because there is never any sign that anyone is building anything.  Many of the buildings seem to lean and tilt in disconcerting fashion, and though there is much sign by way of rubble that they collapse, none has ever been observed to do so.  It has no districts, few shops, and even less industry.  Its streets have no plan, and wander in a labyrinthine fashion all over and lead the unwary in circles and into dead ends with no seeming return passage.  Its inhabitant have never been enumerated but it cannot be supposed that they number less than several tens of millions drawn from every intelligent species rational enough to produce specimens that are not.</blockquote>
