The inhabitants of Domme must have felt some sympathy with those early people who believed the earth was flat and warned of sailing off the edge. The mostly flat town precinct of the world of Domme finished with a cliff drop at the edge of the town to the valley far, far below but there was a very solid stone wall to prevent toppling from Domme.
