It is said, far to the north, past the Shifting Seas, in the center of the Frozen Sands, lies a city of shining crystal, protected from the outside world by a mystical Heart and ruled by an immortal princess of old. 



In this city, Chaos holds little sway. They do not shun Lord Discord, but neither they do not bow to his whims. Its people are a strange lot, who revel not in the inconsistent, but stability. They live in but only one shape, eat food that does not change. It is a way of living that seems strange to us, so steeped in Chaos as we are.



Nobody knows where the city came from, or why Lord Discord lets it be. The stories say that long ago, before the Age of Chaos, the princess of the city performed a great task for Lord Discord, and in return, he lets her rule it without his interference.



When asked, Lord Discord does not answer. “That city is… special.” is all he will say. “Besides, why shouldn’t I leave it be? It’s more fun that way!”  Indeed, such a lack of Chaos is chaotic in and of itself.



Perhaps, one day, Lord Discord will change his mind, as he so often does, and the crystal city will finally embrace Chaos. Perhaps not. Perhaps it does not exist at all, and the story is merely a trick played on us by Lord Discord. We may never know, and that is how we prefer it.



For Lord Discord has blessed unto us the joys of Chaos, so that we may live in happiness, and may his Age persevere forevermore.
