The Spider Symposium

From The Fifth City Wiki

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

A sorrow spider the size of a Great Dane sidles up to you. "Are you refreshments?" Its many eyes peer hopefully at you, and then behind you. "We are long overdue a break."

As one of the younger members of the Symposium, this spider is rarely permitted the floor. Prohibited from addressing its fellows, it turns to you. "The subject is language, and its relationship to our sapience. We're meant to be agreeing conclusions. And I'm not allowed to scuttle out for an eyeball till we have."[1]

The Spider Symposium, was discovered under the Singing Mandrake during Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out.
