The people of Disks are far-removed descendants of the Rilgue people of the Celestial Continent. They wear various horns on their heads--some are real, grown by means of calcium builds on their skulls, and some are merely jacinth.

The Disks people however, are the only people that have not accepted the 'Impure Toleration.' Even though, by definition they themselves are 'Impure', they will not accept any other type.

You emerge from the Sotlat Forest, and trudge the dusty path to the kingdom, only to find the large gates in disrepair, larger stones tumbled off and only five-foot high base stones left. But no one would want to capture this kingdom. It's ruined anyway.

Further into the gates there is a split in the road.

The right path leads around the castle to a section of run-down, decrepit houses. They serve as free homes to many of the kingdoms better theives and murderers. Mongrel dogs slaver and bark from their tethers, attempting to lay a paw on a passer-by. The glowering eyes from between the window slats wouldn't mind too much if the dogs did happen to latch their teeth onto an intruder's flesh.

The left path--well, it was once a path--leads a long ways into over-growth, but still within the walls. What lay at the end of the path is the only remnant of the kingdoms once-regal past. There stands a cathedral. Only, the windows have been shattered by stray rocks from the children around here. A boy stares near there, a rock hanging meanacingly from his fist.

The central path leads into the castle--it too is only a vestige of its former state. Within the courtyard, among the weeds, several drunkards lay asleep with whores in their arms. In the castle entry hall there are several tables, a few legs broken off. Rancid meat, barely having looked at an oven lay on platters, only nasty strips of chicken are strewn about, leftovers from last evenings fight. Goblets are spilled and line the floor alongside the louts, passed out from the nights previous. One wakes and reaches an arm out across the floor to a half-eaten chicken bone, teeth marks on it and all. He stuffs it in his mouth and you move on.

Further on there is a Court. The doors are closed, and the room beyond is clean. There is an onyx throne--similar to the one desribed in Greek myth, belonging to Hades--and various weapons lay concealed beyond the seats of power. Alters to left, and alters to right, they perpetually burn, prepared at any of Lillith's whims to fry a body part.

Below the floor where you stand, there are dungeons--level upon level of them.
It is very easy to become lost, but if you're there, you won't need to worry, for most likely you'll be tethered similarly to the theives dogs you met earlier. By chains, by your wrists and ankles. They were constructed by an excellant Disks Binah, Drear Doomly, commisioned by the Founder of Disks, Commiduce Torrid, for his wife, Militia II. Drear of course, built an impenetrable fortress of cells, with no way to get out--to Commiduce's specifications. Only, Drear was locked in one of his own cells, thanks to Militia's little fling with him.

This lead to the next aspect of Disks. As you should notice, you can hear the sounds of the ocean from the castle--this is because it was built on an outcropping overlooking Gaia Ocean. If you circle around the back of the castle, there is a little portal-door. Go through it and you are outside the castle walls, on a cliff. Here there is an alter, constructed by workers under Queen Militia II after Commiduce refused to set Drear free. She built the alter and became the first Disks woman to have magical power--only, of course, with their personalities so very inimical, none of the Disk Queens to this day have used their power for good.

Lillith's chambers are not to be entered. They have high security at all times. It is in the last standing tower, to the East.
