Candlelight flickers from each table in the great hall of Karm Castle, and I watch as the little flame before me bows and sways to the music.          I think how easy it would be to snuff out that tiny flame and a shiver crawls along my spine, knowing that's exactly why I'm here.              The kingdom of Karm surrounds us. The air we breathe, the grass, the water, the sky above--with its faint shimmer of voltage. Karm protects us from Outside. The wasteland.                  It's home.                     And it's death.
