When the inhabitants of I’Cath fall asleep, they enter an alternate version of the city they call home — a city dreamed into being by the domain’s Darklord. In time, these poor souls can’t remember which version is the real I’Cath and which one is the dream.
In the physical world, I’Cath’s surreal, knotted streets echo with their emptiness…
Within the dreaming domain of I’Cath, Darklord Tsien Chiang rules a golden vision of the city — a place of ultimate beauty and effciency where all things move according to her design…
==Noteworthy Features==
Those familiar with I’Cath know the following facts:
* The citizens of the vast city of I’Cath sleep endlessly within their homes.
* Those who wake feel the pangs of starvation. Food is more valuable in the city than gold.
* {{5ep|Jiangshi}} haunt the streets of I’Cath, tearing down whole districts and rebuilding them.
* Tsien Chiang rules the city from the Palace of Bones. By day, she drafts plans to improve I’Cath. By night, she rules over her people’s dreams.
* Tsien Chiang’s four supernatural daughters wander the city by day and gather at the Palace of Bones at night.
* The streets and row homes of I’Cath change nightly, making navigation next to impossible. The city has a single exit, the Four Trees Gate, but few know how to reach it

===Tsien Chiang’s Dream===
…Through the warped power of the {{5ed|Nightingale Bell}}, she [Tsien Chiang] shares her vision of a sprawling, orderly city run by an obedient, thankful populace… The dream city is a vision of perfection for Tsien Chiang, but for all others it’s a realm of inescapable drudgery and thankless labor.
