Oklane of the Great Joy: "There is a famous travelling troupe of comedians in the Innerspace. Slowly making their way around the coast of the spice sea, they visit one golden city after another, spreading joy. Older First Dreamers, those who remember the Shift and its humiliation, rarely visit the flying tents. To them, life is a matter to be taken seriously, and the great destiny of their species demands solemnity. But the younger ones, those who never tasted defeat by the Watchers and who were born to the Great Tree and its wonder, flock to the moving cirque eagerly, always ready to enjoy whatever gifts life gives them."
