Second Pearl
The Island of Midas Makorum
In the past, in the classical age, when the Balancers had tapped the powers of the metapsychic faultline to do the incredible, Midas Makorum had been the seat of power, and Islam Demaxus nothing but a poor and degraded province. The people of the Second Pearl had never let those of the Seventh forget that. But now, in the modern age, the faultline was not an asset but a liability - and Islam Demaxus, suffering least from that liability, had the potential to become the most powerful state in the Federation.
'But enough of this!' said Atlanta. 'It's not as if I'm going to be president or anything!' [WoH Ch15]
