Chimeric CitiesI - Manticore

When a Traveler has visited more Cities than he can name, their images begin to merge in his mind, creating new architectures, new Cities built from an amalgam of memories and conjecture; Cities receded into nebulous memory, Cities he has long forgotten, Cities he has yet to visit, Cities that do not yet exist on this Earth.

In time, these chimeric Cities, these Cities of the Mind, begin to outnumber those of the living; entire continents of ephemeral cities, only seen from a distance, to which many men have tried through all manner of arcane means to purchase a ticket of passage.

Under the Eye, Parts III-VIIII. The Lucians of Panoptikon

       Upon its capture, the City of Lucia was rechristened to Panoptikon, after the great experiment to be set in motion there. As its name suggested, she was to be a model prison, a City where everything was seen, and no crime or rebellion went unnoticed.

It was a featureless expanse, with no markers to judge where once a white-haired horseman had leaped through a ring of fire, or where the woman with the body of a spider had lain in the
Endless Rail, Prismatic CitiesEndless Rail - I

Traveling the vast rails between Cities, punctuated only by the rhythmic clattering of the train for days on end, the train conductors were always the first to fall into the sweet embrace of amnesia. In their profession it had no consequence; all they knew was to always push forward on the tracks that extended to the horizon. That they had forgotten which City awaited at the end of the track, or from which City they had set out on the rails; or that there even was a City awaiting them or a world outside this infinite line. This made no difference to them, for the tracks had been set out for them decades ago, and all they kn
