The most disturbing thing is the ordinary turned strange. Things familiar and safe becoming not right. — Juliet Marillier

We are wont to imagine rare and delectable places in some remote and more celestial corner of the system, behind the constellation of Cassiopeia's Chair, far from noise and disturbance.
