There's a certain amount of resentful feeling from the locals. "We don't need them in this city as haven't built the way here," they say.Description summary:
The first paragraph varies based on the city's Chosen Site.
| Chosen Site | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| Ealing | They begin arriving within days, and then in greater numbers [...] Some turn up with only a bag of clothes, others with entire wagons. One Rubbery magnate arrives with sufficient inventory for a vast amber shop, enough to deck out the whole city. |
| Evenlode | Newcomers from the Evenlode arrive by night, sometimes dripping wet and accompanied by a lamp-cat. They don't speak of what they've endured. [...] But they're quiet neighbours, even if they do prefer the side of the city that faces away from the Magistracy. |
| Balmoral | The newcomers from Balmoral arrive with odd clothes and odder manners – not to mention suitcases full of luxuries that can only have come from Upstairs. |
| Station VIII | |
| Burrow | The newcomers from Burrow-infra-Mump are very keen on organisation at a local level: on neighbourhood nicknames and block parties [...] There are more statues in the gardens after they arrive; more candles set in niches; more bells hung beside the doors. |
| Moulin | |
| Marigold | The newcomers are mostly devils. They know how to ingratiate themselves; and they are experts on exile. They know just what to say to make a person glad he left his old home behind. Soon each Tracklayer believes themself the hero of a grand revolt. |

It is not perhaps what you expected, but not everyone who comes here arrives from the immediate vicinity.

There's a certain amount of resentful feeling from some who already live here. "We don't need them in this city as haven't built the way here," [...]Description summary:
The identity of the arrivals and the second paragraph vary based on the city's 
Founding Body.
| Founding Body | Arrivals |
|---|---|
| Furnace Ancona | workers from Iron and Misery |
| Furnace Ancona, Starved | Starved persons tired of the roof |
| Cornelius | displaced tomb colonists |
| Your Own Double | folk from the Surface |
| The Double of the Manager | Clay men and women |
| Founding Body | Second Paragraph |
|---|---|
| Furnace Ancona | They arrive with work clothes and boxes of possessions. No: boxes of contraband. No one leaves those taskmasters without wanting to filch a little something for oneself. |
| Furnace Ancona, Starved | |
| Cornelius | It is the architecture that draws them, and a musty quality in the air. The city is not old, but it is understanding about scars, and about not wanting to put all of oneself on show. |
| Your Own Double | The reputation of the place has reached Upward. That will be your Double's doing: you are well-known, and your memories of the Surface clear. [...] almost all have come because there was something above they needed to leave behind. |
| The Double of the Manager | Polythreme has heard of this city. How could it be otherwise? Some arrive in curiosity; some because they wish to choose this city over their own King; some simply because there are other Clay men here. |

What were you thinking?
If would have been bad enough to set about this and succeed. But you've put out the call and not even received any takers. All you've done is irritate the Union folk. "And we don't need them in this city as haven't built the way here," they say.
