INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Hey, hey golden roses around a rajah’s mouth.Hey, hey all the dead children buried standingA Flying Dutchman, smoking gun and spice wind.

—David Bowie, Amlapura

To the average citizen of the Blessed Isle, therest of the world is a strange and dangerous place,full of god-slaves and terrible monsters. Of course,this is imperial propaganda, not terribly differentfrom the outlandish tales about wild tigers, wolvesand claw striders the All-Seeing Eye spreads to keeppeasants close to their villages and away from theBlessed Isle’s vast tracts of private wilderness. Tothese peasants, Creation is a vast and terrible fairy-

tale world, a helter-skelter mixture of chaos andhorror restrained only by the influence of the Im-maculate Order.

The Dragon-Blooded know better, of course. Suchstories are for the lower orders, to keep them happywith their lot and safe in their villages. The Terrestri-als and even the patricians know that beyond theshores of the Blessed Isle lies a vast world, full of bothwonder and terror.
