Irem
"Irem, the Pillared City. She will rise from the zee and the ice like dawn. She will be garlanded with red and decked with gold. The Seven-Serpent will watch you longingly from its high pedestal. You will always arrive as a stranger, but when you leave, some part of you will always remain."
Irem is an archipelago east of Avid Horizon. It appears to be very close to that dream world Londoners call Parabola. They say it always was, always is, always will be. It is a place where time is confused and collides with itself. The people here talk in riddles, and Irem and Whither are locked in an intense rivalry of rhetoric.
