East Order

A supply town east of Symmetry, positioned where the Fold's stabilizing influence begins to weaken and terrain reverts to natural irregularity. East Order's residents appreciate this imperfection and find Symmetry exhausting to visit. The town is deliberately chaotic in layout — a small rebellion against the Fold's imposed order. Within the Luminous Fold, this site is part of the gridded, measured landscape that radiates out from Lumina and the Central Fold. The Fold's clocks, roads, and institutions assume reality may be wholly described, and on this plateau they almost can — the Loosening and Time Instability are weakest here. The site answers, directly or indirectly, to one of the Seven Circles, and the Cartographic Society of Iterants keeps notes on every measurable thing that happens within sight of it.
