"You approach Perdurance, where the brightest and most beautiful of London's youth are conserved like jewels in a glass case."
"I've heard no one grows old in Perdurance," a crewman says.
"Nor hungers, nor sorrows," says another.
"Nor leaves," your signaller adds.
Perdurance is a magnificent shuttered palace in Albion. It may or may not be the Shuttered Palace, but regardless of its identity, it holds the British Empire's most promising youth... frozen in time. Its residents are hand-picked by Her Renewed Majesty. Unfortunately, but in a typical situation for the High Wilderness, it might be more of a torture and prison than a youthful paradise...
The Half-Light Masque
"Here, Her Majesty has created a single perfect day wherein the finest examples of the Empire's youth may reside for all time. At the day's end there is a grand ball. When it is over, the day is spun anew with fresh hours and all begins again. No one who resides here will age even a single day."
Each day, Hour Looms under Perdurance spin hours to rewind its single perfect day to begin anew at dawn. Each third of the day (morning, noon, and evening) is demarcated by its own hall.
