When travelling through the vast expanses of the Diamond Gardens, one might chance to glimpse the Ptah's realm. It looks much the same as the rest of the wilderness, but within its borders time speeds up. Leaves vibrate as they curl and uncurl. Flood-waters rise and fall in minutes.Trees rise from the ground, grow, wither, and die in the space of a few days. Occasionally civilizations rise up, going from tents to huts to shacks to towns to vast cities, all moving so that the people are a blur as they race about, constructing a new world. Eventually, inevitably, their civilization falls and the process begins again.
There are only two constants in Ptah's realm: A Macy's clothing store with a large stock of red ball caps, and a ridiculously comfortable couch placed in a prime spot for observing the world as it rushes past. Ptah often sits on this couch, casually watching as the affairs of his realm unfold.
