Peace provides sanctuary for all refugees — anyone who has suffered abuse at the hands of others. Peaceful acolytes care for those in need. They learn meditation and practice the ways of Peace. They learn about the worlds outside of Peace to better understand the people who come to them.
A World Bird guards Peace and takes the entire land under its wings in times of trouble. It feeds off the peaceberries that grow throughout the land. The denizens of Peace feast on peaceberry pie, drink peace berry tea, and pluck peace berries fresh from the vine with their mouths — and are comforted.
"Visitors to peace wish to stay, but may not be acolytes, says the Guide. "Only those born and raised in Peace, who thoroughly understand its ways, may do so. Unless, they are blessed by the World Bird."
Forgiveness, a small island floats above Peace. A long arching golden pedestrian bridge crosses up to the capitol. Visitors travel a long way to reach Forgiveness. The floor of the bridge to Forgiveness is transparent. The turbulent waters of Justice crash below. Sometimes denizens throw themselves off the bridge. They tumble through the air towards Justice, but land in the peacekeepers’ nets.
“Stay awhile longer,” the peacekeepers say. “The river of justice is cold.”
Whereas the capitol Forgiveness has a tropical clime and the peaceberries on the island are especially sweet. Peacebirds flit and trill.
The monks of Forgiveness ferment the peaceberries into a cordial. They offer peaceberry cordial to all guests. Those who drink it experience delight.
“Forgiveness was brilliant and colorful!" exclaims Amma-Pom.
