Great Wall of Bricklyn

« Back to Glossary Index

One of the most puzzling aspects of Bricklyn to outlanders is the fact that only a small portion of the Realm of Bricklyn can be seen by them. While we know this “hidden” part of Bricklyn exists, it is blocked from view by the Great Wall of Bricklyn.

Segment of the Great Wall of Bricklyn — Portions of the Great Wall have strange patterns and designs. No one in Bricklyn, including historians and scientists, can explain their origins, though the principal working hypothesis is that these patterns and designs in some way block Outlanders’ view of portions of the Realm on the other side of the Great Wall.

The vast majority of Bricklynites remain in blissful ignorance of how living “ud over muren” (beyond the Wall) shields their lives from the “prying” eyes of outlanders — or, to put it more positively, from the fascinated glances of tourists visiting Bricklyn!

So what is hidden from human view beyond the Great Wall? Most significantly, most of South Bricklyn (including the airport; the regional high school; and the medical center) and all of Bricklyn Junction (including its compact, but historic, downtown). A substantial portion of Bricklyn itself — including most residential and commercial districts — is also shielded from visitors’ view by the Great Wall.
