Editing Worlebury-juxta-Mare

''"Worlebury-juxta-Mare is precisely like every other weekend destination: shabbier than advertised and bristling with ways to spend more money than intended."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Worlebury-juxta-Mare|Worlebury-juxta-Mare|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

'''Worlebury-juxta-Mare''' is a recreation of the British seaside in [[the High Wilderness]].__FORCETOC__

Worlebury-juxta-Mare is Albion's premier tourist destination: a glittering little amusement park of a space-town, with many different shops, attractions, and even a donkey ride! The only issue is the corrosive mist that surrounds the entire town and slowly dissolves everyone's clothes...<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Worlebury-juxta-Mare|Receive an explanation|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

 

Except it's not the only issue at all. The shops sell trash and human eyeballs instead of jewelry, or aren't even functional.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Airs_of_the_Lanes#Lanes|Airs of the Lanes|Sunless Skies}}</ref> The tea is made using, among other things, insects and dirt.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Airs_of_Tea#Tea|Airs of Tea|Sunless Skies}}</ref> The donkeys are all carnivorous, possess horrific genetic deformities, and constantly spew out large amounts of intestines.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Airs_of_Donkey#Donkey|Airs of Donkey|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

Despite all of that, the average visitor probably won't notice anything strange, and even if they do, they will quickly convince themselves that everything is perfectly normal.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Worlebury-juxta-Mare|Consider the strangeness of the Lanes|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

What the devil is going on here?

The Off Season represents the true reality of the town, and can be accessed in various ways, including fleshy, membranous tunnels.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Worlebury-juxta-Mare|Clamber through the gnarled door|Sunless Skies}}</ref> The true Worlebury-juxta-Mare is extremely dilapidated and covered in filth, but neither that or the resort's poor workers are visible to an average visitor, hidden by the same power that doesn't want people to notice all its strangeness.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Worlebury-juxta-Mare|The Off Season|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

There are two main groups with deep knowledge of the town's inner workings. The first one is '''the Bureau of Entertainments''', led by '''the Toymaker''', who run the resort and want to limit the town's paranormalcy.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Bureau_of_Entertainments|The Bureau of Entertainments|Sunless Skies}}</ref> Their opposition is the cult of '''They Who Must Grieve''', a being that's responsible for the area's strange happenings. The cult, led by '''The Bedraggled Parson''', reveres that entity as a god, and in return the mists change their bodies in disturbing ways - such as turning all of their hair into cilia.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Church_of_They_Who_Must_Grieve|The Church of They Who Must Grieve|Sunless Skies}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/Whispers_in_a_Voice_like_Water|Talk to the cultist to your right|Sunless Skies}}</ref> <br />

'''They Who Must Grieve''' is actually an enormous [[Flukes#Scorn-Flukes|Scorn-Fluke]], whose body is severely diseased and covered in cancerous tumors. They are filled with an enormous amount of anguish and self loathing, to the point that the air around them is twisted, creating the corrosive mists around the area and most likely acting as the source of the town's oddities.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.miraheze.org/wiki/In_the_Depths|Behold the Fluke|Sunless Skies}}</ref>
