Within the Well lies a garden. My garden is a haven, an refuge from the hostility of the [[The Halved|False King]]'s realm.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Well_of_Wonders|A Garden Where Time Is Still|Sunless Skies}}"''The humans disembark to enjoy the calm my garden provides. Flower-perfumed air brushes their oily skin. Red apples burden the trees and swollen berries cluster on every bush. They pause, cautious, but soon feasting begins."''</ref> Within my garden lies my theater, a magnificent structure of Grecian inspiration. My performers and their captive audience (ha!) wait here.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Well_of_Wonders|The Captain tours my Theatre|Sunless Skies}}''"The Trespasser Captain stands on my stage to witness the entrance of the audience. Their crew fills the front row. More of their kind, recent arrivals, take the next few rows. Behind them, men of rubber and outcast bats and buzzing devils and— the rest are of no consequence. They can only hope for the privilege of witnessing a story greater than their own. They will finally have that chance."''</ref>

Let me introduce my cast, those who were worthy of telling my story:

*'''The Lost Girl''', who fled her life and headed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice%27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland right down a rabbit-hole]. Needless to say, she got her wish.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Well_of_Wonders|The Captain explores the Garden|Sunless Skies|}} ''"She fled her life – all the way down a rabbit-hole. In my garden, that dream came true. So many years have not passed for her since then."''</ref>

*'''The Thrice-Dead Bride''', the Mistress of my choir.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Well_of_Wonders|The Captain explores the Garden|Sunless Skies|}} ''"She found profit in love and death, many times over. Her story should have ended at the bottom of the well where her last 'victim' overcame her. But the deepest wells often echo each other. When circumstances are right, their depths can bleed together."''</ref>

*'''The Careless Scholar''', who searched for knowledge through [[Parabola|mirrors and glass]], and found it here.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Well_of_Wonders|The Captain explores the Garden|Sunless Skies}}''"The knowledge tempts people to strange shores. What did they think they would find with that contraption of mirrors and glass? A chance at glory? Soon, my Scholar."''</ref>

Ah, how rude of me. Allow me to introduce myself. I am '''the Prophet Exile''',<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Dramatis_Personae#II._The_Forest_Of_Burning_Twilight|The Messenger returned!|Sunless Skies}}"''The Prophet Exile called for the Princes of Light to assemble, to hear the response of the Twin Kings."''</ref> though some may call me '''the First Storyteller''',<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Rite_of_Raving|The Rite of Raving|Sunless Skies|}} ''"The Well of Wonders is smothered in stories. They say it is the place where possibility went to die. They say it is the grave-prison of the First Storyteller. They say that if you can endure the winds, you will learn that which was never known."''</ref> or perhaps '''St Solonace'''.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/A_Meeting_at_the_Crossroads|A Meeting at the Crossroads|Sunless Skies|}} ''"How ideal! St Solonace: a rebellious story cast unto a well."''</ref> I was once an exile from a place that [[Parabola|was not]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Dramatis_Personae|The revolutionaries made camp|Sunless Skies}}''"The Prophet was an exile from a place that was not..."''</ref> Now, I am a living story: '''''The Ballad of the Solonacean Conjunction'''.''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Dramatis_Personae|The Prophet Exile took a moment to reflect|Sunless Skies}}''"Very well: I am a storyteller become story. All stories yearn to reach their end. When mine is finally complete, I will languish in ignominy no more."''</ref> I hold control over the Well of Wonders, and I am the one responsible for trapping the actors and their audience.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Well_of_Wonders|The Well of Wonders|Sunless Skies|}} ''"My guests sit frozen in their endless repast, watching eternity through unblinking, bloodshot eyes."''</ref>

If you, dear reader, wish to experience my story in its full glory, you must hear it in person.
