"Sometimes people will know of their true purpose only when they travel down a path alone."
"Because to know where you're going, sometimes you need to walk down a path you've never taken. And getting lost is not necessarily a bad thing."
Enter Varialon, boundary to all worlds, city of the lost--of consequences and opportunities. People who enter almost never leave and are never the same. But the city itself does not transform people, it realizes them.
