Wonderland - Jags

In a Wonderland home on Chessboard Three you are likely to see some
needlepoint work up on the wall with one of two common phrases:
And
Nature Abhors a Vacuum
You Are What You Eat
These are references to monsters. Any place that is out of the way—that
is left empty—will, eventually, generate its own monster (or maybe one
will move in: the jury is still out on that one). Why? Because Nature
Abhors a Vacuum.
Additionally, the saying You Are What You Eat comes from the fact that
monsters, as they go about their monstrous ways become more and more
“human” in their natures over time. Sometimes one will even “come
to town” (although this is never seen as very safe). It’s also a matter of
debate as to whether a monster becoming “more human” is a good or a
bad thing.
Construction
When putting together a Chessboard Three area, the questions will
revolve around how “wild” the place has
gone. Certainly in an urban area there
will still be lots of things in the place of
buildings that were there. They might be
great stone monoliths. They might be massive
“discarded” plastic milk-cartons the size of
skyscrapers. There could be all sorts of things.
If the area has gone “more wild” then the
questions will revolve around whether there
is floating areas, forested places, stony
outcroppings, desert, etc.
Kingdoms are small and the area is
dangerous. Even when a group of sentient
beings live in relative comfort and stability
they may be extremely wary or even
dangerous to outsiders.
