The City of the Tracklayers/Variant text
The player has a great deal of influence over The City of the Tracklayers, from its location and architecture to the political and cultural inclinations of its citizens. The city's writing reflects this, using variant text far more frequently than any other part of the game to acknowledge the minor details particular to the player's version of the city. Some of these details are used on multiple pages, so are collected here.
