Prism City

The largest settlement of the Glass Expanse and the closest thing the region has to a capital — a city of light-warped streets where the local architecture is built to compensate for the Pattern's refraction. Prism City's ruling council is drawn from the prism-grove guilds and a rotating Iterant chair appointed by the Cartographic Society of Iterants. The Knowledge Fragmentation Principle has been taught in its philosophical academy for two Loops longer than the Luminous Fold's formal acceptance of it. The Starving Silence has not been sighted within the city limits, but the outer prism-fields are another matter — Clearline, Echo Ruins, and Vell Glass have all reported incidents.
