Editing Treacheries

''"The Seven Treacheries guard the Neath, but there is one place more closely guarded still: a place the Masters can't touch, a place the Bazaar can't see, a place beneath St Cerise's well. This is [a] wound of which Cerise's redness is only a shadow. The place where hearts go. The Nadir."''

A Treachery is a difference from regular physics, created by something that prevents the Laws of the [[Judgements]] from applying. This can be caused "naturally" by [[The Neathbow|unreal colors]] interfering with their ability to see, or can be created "artificially" by the Red Science or the will of a local Judgement.

== The Neathy Treacheries ==
''"Clocks, Maps, Breath, Glass – and the three beyond. This is what protects the Courier and its toadies."''<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Look_up Look up, ''Fallen London'']</ref>

=== Maps ===
The Treachery of Maps allows things to be in more than one place, or immobile things to change place.<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/&#x22;No._But_then_we_aren%27t_even_here_anyway,_are_we%3F&#x22; "No, But then we aren't even here anyway, are we?", ''Fallen London'']</ref> One zee-captain may find [[Demeaux Island]] to the north-east of [[London]], while another will find it due East, but in both cases it will be near home waters. It is also possible to step through a strange shimmering patch of air, and end up in a different and possibly worse place<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Sidebar_Snippets#The_Wandering_Mirage ''Fallen London'',  The Wandering Mirage (sidebar)]</ref>.

=== Clocks ===
Time is strange in the Neath. It is possible to briefly excuse yourself from a conversation, zail off, serve a term governing [[Port Carnelian]], and return to find your tea still warm and your guest still waiting patiently. Causes will usually precede effects, and things that happened will usually remain happened (though there are exceptions<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Perhaps_she_was_happiest_before_(30_FATE)  Perhaps she was happiest before, ''Fallen London'']</ref>), but different observers will perceive a different amount of time between the two events.

=== Breath ===
The Treachery of Breath is likely related to why Fallen Londoners often return from [[death]].<sup>[citation needed]</sup>

=== Glass ===
The Treachery of Glass is likely related to [[Parabola]], and the reason why it can be reached through mirrors and dreams.<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Share_confessions_with_the_Widow ''Fallen London'', Share confessions with the Widow]</ref>

=== Measures ===
Things in [[Parabola]] can be resized, with large becoming small and small becoming large<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Imagine_the_Betrayal_of_Measurement Imagine the Betrayal of Measurement, ''Fallen London'']</ref>. Certain devices can bring this possibility into the Neath<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Betrayer_of_Measures Betrayer of Measures, ''Fallen London'']</ref>, allowing for (possibly among other things) the expansion of skeletons to enormous size<ref>[https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Finish_your_work_resizing_a_human_ribcage_using_the_Red_Science Finish your work resizing a human ribcage using the Red Science, ''Fallen London'']</ref>.

However, the Treachery of Measures is an "artificial" Treachery brought out of Parabola, and may not be one of the Seven "natural" Treacheries.<sup>[citation needed]</sup>

== Treacheries of the High Wilderness ==
Even in the domain of the [[Judgements]], their Laws are not uniform. Certain stars, particularly [[The Halved]], allow things that may not be possible in other domains.

=== Distance ===
''Main Article: [[Langley Hall]]''
Langley Hall is a respectable size on the outside, but possibly infinite on the inside. The Treachery of Distance is said to be the reason, allowing a small amount of space to become much larger or smaller<ref>[https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Study#Interactions The Study, ''Sunless Skies'']</ref>.
