That's still closer than most people I've met here.

[ a small smile creeps onto his face. ]

Using our lighthouses we can connect to terminals that only light bearers have access to, a vast network of data on locations, items, people...everything in the Tower. If you know what you're doing you can get the layout of a floor or make trades that can't be done in the daylight.

Both. Everyone I've met here lives in what we consider the Outside World in comparison. It makes sense if you believe the old texts, that humans aren't native to the Tower like some other species are. But once you enter the Tower you can't leave, and those on the outside are barred from entering unless they're chosen.

[ tower of god world building is really an entire thing. ]

I don't know. [ it looks almost painful for him to say that.]

Even knowing about native species is closely guarded knowledge, kept within the Ten Families who assist the King in governing the Tower.
