Lords of Dust

When New Lilliput came across the Lords of Dust for the first time, they stumbled upon a stern and distrustful society. They lived in a world overtaken by grime. Their industry has generated an overwhelming amount of pollution in the form of dust, and they had their hands full dealing with that. They had no way to get rid of the dirt.

The Lords of Dust are a clever bunch, and they soon saw the potential of the Portals. They faked friendship with the New Lilliputian ambassadors, presented lavish gifts and pampered them with disingenuous hospitality, until they agreed to share the secrets of Portal technology. They then cast the foreigners away and began to explore the Inner-space. Most of that was only tiny worlds with little potential, but as soon as they gazed upon our world for the first time, they knew they had found the garbage dump they had been eager to discover. They organized their finest into teams, and sent them to our homes to coordinate the transport of dust from their world into ours efficiently.

They are well equipped and organized. They know how to roll the specks of dirt and hair into balls, and hide them under our beds. They dispose of their piles of dust carefully laying them down in thin layers onto our books and shelves. The ironic thing is that this huge undertaking is forcing them to increase the productivity of their factories in their own world, which in turn is generating even much more dust that they can actually spit into our world! They desperately need to control more and more spaces in our homes in order to avoid the collapse of their civilization under a mountain of filth.

When the Lords of Dust get a hold in a new home, dust just keeps piling on all the time. No matter how often people broom or mop the floors, they always seem to remain filthy. When rays of light shine through window blinds, little specks of dust float in the air. Black chunks of unknown matter stick under the chairs, and flocks of fluff congregate under the beds and armchairs of the house.
