Cast
Cassilda, queen of Yhtill - Mrs. Hannah Keith
Thale, older son of Cassilda - Mr. Walter Paige

Act 1
The first scene began with the Queen (Cassilda) of the city of Yhtill reclining by the edge of a lake. During the scene, the quuen's children enter and discuss with her issues of succession. Some impressions are given during this scene:
1. Yhtill is involved in a protracted war with its rival, Alar.
2. Yhtill is a city in stasis. Very little ever happens there.
3. A much greater city, called Carcosa exists, but no one knows where it is.
4. The talks of succession have been going on a long time, the conversation simply a repitition of what has been said many times before.
