Notes
Raised indoors on racks in the residential terraces of Clearhold and nowhere else in quantity. It is a slow, exacting business: the temperature must be held, the feed must be right, and the whole population dies of nothing in particular if any of it slips. Several cities have attempted it and none have made it pay. Clearhold regards this as unremarkable. The work suits a city that finds easy and haste contemptible, and the keepers hold their standing accordingly.
