Thuja

Hail to Thuja, the free city of the North!  May your wisdom shine always across the land and into the darkest tunnels beneath the earth.

There is much to be learned by departure from home.  One's love of home becomes clear when away.  One's clarity of purpose becomes sharpened.  This is doubly true for a city so magnificent as Thuja - the city that hides no crime, no violence and no corruption.  Does it have these things?  Yes, as does every city.  But it does not pretend otherwise.

All those who do not know its walls can only imagine a city in which every child is schooled, clothed and fed through adulthood.  They can only imagine a city in which every adult is tutored and led into the profession that best suits them.  They can only imagine a city in which every citizen takes only their share and no more.  Let them imagine.

It is here, in Thuja, the free city of the North that I will live.
