Outside the city there is a place, a seven day's journey around, where ugly people are kept, living in tribes and believing in myths and blood feuds. They are really a study for anthropologists and others studying human behavior, minus the pretty-minded operation. The place is surrounded by "little men" hanging in trees who will make your nerves crawl. The only way to get to this place is by a Special Circumstances hovercar, following a certain river, or being born there in the first place.
