Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements



The plants all seem to be growing out of and around rotting treasure chests.
So presumably the decomposing wood of untold boxes of gold and jewels forms a unique treasure-loam within the piles.
There are also springs of water, as well as gold, that flow into YNAMON, so I suspect the roots going through the gold-piles are taproots seeking the water.

What's really piquing my curiosity is... what source of light is there? What sun nurtures those trees?

EDIT: And there's a little town downstream! Some kind of Counting-Priest settlement, or the descendants of people sent as tribute as part of the hoard? In any case I am suddenly super-interested in the agrarian practices and economics of Treasuretown.

I'm hoping Mammon surfaces and is all "WHAT ARE YOU DO-" and she's all "Okay hold that thought big guy be right back gotta go check on a buddy" and goes back and he just has to stand there awkwardly.

So is it pronounced I nuh mon?

the perspective's a little unclear but if I'm reading the sizes of those pillars and the stream right it's probably literally a little town fashioned by ferocious coin-sized goldgobs out of fragments of loot crate

Mammon's dark secret is that he's actually about as big as an iguana, and has spent long millennia surrounding himself with an inner circle of the eensiest little accountant-priests in the multiverse in order to spread wide the legends of his terrible might

Nah there's a cliff before the first set of pillars, they're further back and their waterfalls make the stream a river.

I think the most likely explanation is that the town and viaduct belong to whatever culture used to live here before Mammon genocided them to turn the pocket dimension into his private Scrooge McDuck vault.

They look far too well-preserved for that, though, and seem to be built on top of the treasure layer rather than submerged beneath it. Also, I don't think Mammon's the Four from Planetary, I think he could build his own fractal universe treasure vault rather than steal someone else's.

I'm pretty sure the Seven's shtick is actually very similar to the Four's. (Monsters ruling over creation with stolen power, killing as they please, brutally crushing all threats to their hegemony. Also, their title is the number of people in their club, c'mon.)

yeah I don't get the impression Mammon or Mottom do much building of anything, if the demiurges were running around creating their own universes they'd be significantly closer to the old gods than parasites feasting on their decaying corpses

As far as we know Mottom built her interdimensional hover palace - in fact, all that keeps it aloft is her terrible will.
She definitely built that, with the plunder of a hundred thousand worlds.

Similarly I'd bet Mammon built Yre and its infinite interior himself, to hold the plunder of a hundred thousand worlds.
