The Prose of the World: Main Page
The cannier denizens of Creation know that the Prosaic World doesn't stay prosaic all on its own. The thankless work of keeping it that way falls to the Apologists of Za'afiel, an Order of Nobles comprising misfits, penitents, true believers and social climbers. These are their stories.
