All around where you grew up is a barrier. No one knows what lies on the other side. Or if they do, they're not telling. It could be [[Here There Be Dragons]], or your ancient enemies, or it could be that you and everyone you know is [[Sealed Good in a Can]] (or [[Sealed Evil in a Can|evil]], who knows?). Passage through will be difficult if not impossible, for what good is a barrier if anyone can walk on through?

 

If the barrier surrounds a community, it is an isolated [[Small Secluded World]] or [[City in a Bottle]] or possibly a [[Domed Hometown]].
