Description:

Were you to travel on one of the great steam hulks carrying trade goods up the Wallspring River to Horizon, here is what you would see...
The city sits astride the river, its wall stained with the ash of war and the smoke of factories. The Imperial Palace sits above it all, and the halls of government and the manses of the nobilty cluster around it like rats feasting on a hunk of cheese. And below them sprawls the factories and the docks, the slums and the tenements, the garrets and the gables of the lower city, vast even seen outside.

And when the ship approaches the city it's a curious thing, because the passengers and crewmen all become conscious of a direction that has always been present but never felt, the direction that runs from Wallwards to Truewards, and as one's sense of geometry shifts so does one's perception. The palace is, quite clearly and plainly, built into the Great Wall of Horizon, the grand edifice built by human slaves under the directions of the gods to keep the True Lands safe from the Treacherous Lands beyond. The Gods are gone now, away from the world in their flying barges which sail beneath the stars, but the wall endures, as does its city. And you're conscious now - it seems the most obvious thing in the world - that the Sun does not travel straight across the sky at all, but moves overhead in a circle, and "night" is merely what happens when the Sun moves out of sight beyond the Wall.
