Over time as the memories of the old lands grew dim and their supplies ran low, the Teleri began to trade and converse with the natives of the world, teaching several the basics of arcane magic and alchemy, while learning the lessons needed to live in this harsh new world. Never ones to stand back while unnecessay facts could be found, many spent a great deal of time with the many societies that were around at the time, flyting here and there, eating this and that, smoking those and other thing and either through their own devices, or unintentionally, they became as these people, untill they were fully of this world, and remembered little else. | Over time as the memories of the old lands grew dim and their supplies ran low, the Teleri began to trade and converse with the natives of the world, teaching several the basics of arcane magic and alchemy, while learning the lessons needed to live in this harsh new world.

Made by The Strangers, the state of repair in The City has long been a volatile point among local Alchemists and loremasters, fueled by the fact that no one really understands it's construction, and numerous repair attempts have been made, most of which were inefective at best. As belief in The Answer in The Machine grows, it is becoming more and more common to assume that The Strangers planned for everything, and that to even think that there might be a problem, let alone fix it is becoming a marginal view. | Made by The Strangers, the state of repair in The City has long been a volatile point among local Alchemists and loremasters, fueled by the fact that no one really understands it's construction, and numerous repair attempts have been made, most of which were inefective at best.
