Meanwhile, across the great sea... In a land where time forgot to reset its watch... Amongst the people of masks and magic... On a Thursday... Sometime after the mid-morning...
On the island of MoorDor, there's only one rule.
It is a time just before lunch, but after the rush hour traffic has died down... it's a bit of a lull really... maybe it's a time not too distant from our own... or maybe it's just something beyond...
Well, actually there's more than one rule. There used to be only one rule. But that was before the incident.
Look, does it even matter what and where and when? It's all more a fable, isn't it? I mean, it could be an allegory... we all wear masks, don't we? And everywhere is somewhere beyond the sea.
It's unfortunate.
