"The world is a cold place, and it's a harsh place, and it's a violent place, but it doesn't have to be. All the coldness and harshness and violence are human (mortal) creations, and they can be overcome by human (mortal) effort! With a simple agreement, we could change everything by ourselves!"

- Nikolas during the final debate with Severian in Shallam at the Theatron Sarapin.

The Lockwood family accepts Nikolas' agreement and aknowledge that the world is indeed a cold and violent place. Through cooperation and understanding we believe the good that exists in every mortal heart can change everything.

We are a Family for those who never found a home, and for those who have over time drifted apart from their bloodlines. The Lockwoods are the family you choose.

Thank you for your time,
