Castles in the Sand Workman's Avenue, near the edge of the Clerks' Ward Zebuetel (or Zeb as he's called) is an architect par excellence. Of course this formian and his construction crew have something unique to how they make their buildings. You see, these ants use sand. Now you may be thinking "How can anyone but a barmy expect a building of sand to stand?" Well, he learned a strange yet permanent spell that turns sand into sandstone. Thus his sand stays in place, often for centuries. Most of his work is contracted out to other planes since the dabus are peery of competition. (after the light boy incident who can blame them?) On the rare occasions they do work in Sigil most of the Dabus don't give them anything worse than dirty looks, except for Tavernbeldyse. (Tavern-bell-dice, named after the images he identifies himself with)... Tavernbeldyse actually helps the formians, working along cheerily with the picture of a whistle up near his head. Though he won't accept pay Tavernbeldyse, this young Dabus has become a dedicated member to the mostly formian crew. As well as formian and a dabus Zebuetel has his regular irregulars, a motley crew of three humans, a modron, a tiefling, two gith (both varieties, though you wouldn't guess it by how they help each other), a bariaur, and an aasimar who have joined the group over the years. They stand out odd among the dozen or so "centaur-ants" but the crew is close, almost like family. Copyright 1999 by Joshua Jarvis
