![]() ![]() Flatland society is organized from the isosceles triangles at the bottom, then the equilateral triangles, square, pentagons, hexagons, higher polygons, and finally, the priestly circles at the top. While women are simple straight lines, the males are full polygons. In the first half of his treatise, A Square painstakingly describes the social landscape of Flatland, which is strictly regulated by natural laws as dictated by the Circles, the priests that make up the highest class. The narrator and protagonist of Flatland, A Square, writes from prison, intricately detailing the social organization of his country and recounting the revelations he has received from the sacred “Sphere.” Flatland is a world that exists on the two-dimensional plane, where its inhabitants-literal geometrical shapes-live in a highly-structured society organized into classes based on the number of sides of a figure. ![]()

They had their magic stalls set up in the same pattern as the humans’ stalls, under the bridges and through tiny streets, but the Shadow Market stalls did not hold apples or turnips. Vampires and werewolves, warlocks and the fey, met under the stars and under glamour that human eyes could not pierce. ![]() By night, the market belonged to the Downworld.
