Within its walls a thousand wonders lie waiting, from the glittering treasures buried in its deepest keep to the curtaining wisps drifting past its highest towers; wonders in halls of sand and heat, halls of blizzard white, halls of sunken mystery...
And as he watched the first dawn break over the towers of Terra, the bright lord felt himself falling in love all over again.
–“The Gift,” from Songs of the Metamythos
