700 years ago, the world ended. In a blast of golden power from his Eleven Rings, Eldarendar quenched technology and slew everyone technologically inclined, upwards of billions. Eight Cities alone survived with technology and population intact. Now the Pope, ruling over Rome, has sent the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller to see why the City of Poland has been radio silent for centuries....and why Eldarendar is threatening to destroy it if it does not change. He finds a city divided by a high fence, where men and women drove each other out, and have been separated for a hundred years, using artificial conception and artificial robots to sate their longings. But the men long for true social intercourse with women, and when the Grand Master entices a girl across the Fence, hilarious scenes ensue, for neither gender has seen the other for a hundred years.
