It's Time To Play The Music

Once upon a time,

in a fantastic land,

there were the Sabral, a people who were geniuses with textiles, cloth, and fabric of all sorts. They could make tents that were waterproof, soundproof, cool when it was hot and warm when it was cold, and could practically put themselves up and down and fit in a large backpack. They could make clothing that was practically magical, too, and magical tapestries and all kinds of things...

but their children thought that their best creations were their dolls.

Their fabric dolls, stuffed with light wool, were all animals at first, frogs and pigs and dogs and otters and birds and things,

and after a time some of the children wanted even more fanciful and imaginative dolls, and so the adults made monster dolls, too.

Many were tiny, but when people outside the Sabral community saw them, the Sabral made some dolls that some were larger than the average human! Eventually there were as many Sabral dolls as there were living humans!

But then the Sabral children did something that... well, that made things very different.

They magically brought the dolls to life.

Did they wish on a star? Did they say magic words? No one today remembers how it started.

But once it started, it spread... all the dolls started coming to life.

But then... humans started magically turning to dolls too. Very, very few were immune...

Now, almost everyone is a doll-- an animal doll, or a monster doll... or a doll that looks like a person, that used to be a human being...

Those few humans who are mysteriously immune to the magic are treasured and revered by the rest of dollkind. Several dozen of them live in The City... but there are exceptions...
