'Naturally, all of the factions would love to get hold of Shangri-La for themselves (except for the Dragons, who don't work that way, and the Jammers, who would like to blow it up). Needless to say, a city that can phase in and out of the Netherworld and throughout time would be a tremendous asset to anyone who controlled it. So far, none of the groups have been able to locate it, much less control it, and what little they know comes from stories of those who claim to have visited or lived there. Shangri-La has gone undiscovered for so long partially because of its remote location and partially because it never stays in one time for very long, but also because the priesthood have employed and maintain a number of spells designed to hide the city from detection. Although Shangri-La welcomes visitors, they also know that the survival of their city depends upon it remaining largely a mystery.'
