Heyo. In Act 2, there's a pretty clear 'dropped thread', potentially a rather interesting one, concerning the Children of Hewanharimau. Betronga is defensive of Ingatan’s Refuge. Though his people do not worship Ingatan specifically, they know this place is holy. They believe that, though most...

I can dig that. In this magical universe, stars are not just stars- they have a separate, magical identity as the glimmering lights in the sky. Move away from the actual stars and these identities fall, symbolizing and reflecting the transition. Thanks.

Meteors definitely exist in this world. It's specifically stated that they're the source for much of the lantern fuel- and that some of the meteors come from Triegenes calling them down. I'm just a little confused because the Book 9 climax doesn't seem to describe meteors- it describes the...

Wotcher, me again. In the Zeitgeist universe, stars seem to fall a lot. How, and why? What are they? Arsenal of Dhebisu The greatest warrior of her day snatched a falling star and used it to slay a rakshasa. Skyseer Vision of Avilona You float, the constellation Draco beside you, and beneath...

I did run Bonds with my group, though to avoid metagaming and spoilers I excised a decent chunk of his backstory from his character sheet. Maybe it's my fault. On the bright side, I got to invent and then hint at Stanfield's former relationship and failed sinister plans with the Red Contessa...

Honestly, I think you did a fairly good job. I find the AP is a little hamstrung by the necessity of avoiding the PCs guessing major plot clues and averting them. The end of Act 2 has to execute in a very specific way, so the PCs can't discover too much too early about the voice. But, he's still...

Well, I come newly enlightened. And with good news- Ranger, I don't think you forgot about this thread. At least, not completely. Diving into the lore of Gorged on Ruins, I was struck by something I hadn't noticed before- the fact that the Voice of Rot is originally- or previously- from Drakr...

Heh, aye, fair enough. :):):):) gets lost down the cracks. I just wanted to confirm there wasn't stuff ahead that I needed to foreshadow. Now I know there isn't, I can and will make up my own stuff. Thanks again for writing this AP, it's terribly good.

Hrm. So, the Eschatologist theme mission- "The skull of the dragon Cheshimox will hint at a coming doom for Drakr." That's just graffiti speculating about the imminence of a general doom, not any one specific doom? And the reason it's on both the Lich and Cheshimox is because it's a universal...

Kvarti specifically says that he got his gun part from the lich. I take it that either the words are about the lich, or there's some other strange force carving bones. Reading ahead, I don't think it relates to the Lost Riders in Act 3. Nothing there seems to reference this.

Afternoon, all. I come with two questions. The words carved into the stock of Kvarti Gorbatiy's gun; "Cry out/for at the end of time/I Rise." What do they refer to? The Lich in Knutpara? Why are the same words carved into the skull of Cheshimox?

I feel a little guilty sometimes. I take and take from this community- asking questions on forums, taking all the maps and asking for more, searching everywhere for further clarifying details on this brilliant AP. Well, not today. Today I give back. In meme form!

Y'know, Shantus doesn't really come off as 'paranoid'- heck, he maintains *Pardo* as Minister of Rebellion. Some great ideas, though I definitely get what you mean about the changes not finishing playing out by the time the Campaign messes with things dramatically; Last Starry Sky-level...

My party's at book 6 and they're far from enamored with his Bruseness, Shantus. They'd rather like a regime change. The problem is that, as far as I can tell, the only mechanism is Tinker managing to assassinate the Bruse in his ambush. Anything else seems like a regime-destabilizing...

Supremely interesting, thanks for the info and the story. You know, it never occurred to me that Nic possessed some poor schmuck to set up Pala. Quite an interesting little demonstration of his ruthlessness even at a time when he was at his most benevolent, setting up an enlightened nation...

So, a quick question. Nicodemus, Nicodemus the Gnostic. At what stage of the AP should one reveal the 'Gnostic' part? The book doesn't seem to offer much guidance on that point. Is it something anyone in the Ob actually knows? It doesn't seem like 'Nicodemus the Gnostic' is an important enough...

I can appreciate that logic- but come the end of the AP, when the party is attempting to knit a world together from these disparate planes, it seems quite odd to say that there are these aspects which simply don't matter, and are not mentioned. Thanks for the answer about the Gyre worlds. Maybe...

Heyo. My group is starting to ask questions about planes outside the system, and I've run into some problems. 1. In the Players' guide, Jiese governs war and important dates. Yet in Jiese's Act 3 entries it's all about industry and cunning. Which is it? It's a bit hard to say since Jiese oil in...

Let me set the scene- Book 8, a newspaper article. Two books after Lorcan Kell falls, and Morgan Cippiano (presumably) rises to power. The Primo Rising! A new crime lord has come to prominence in Flint, filling a void left since the collapse of the Kell guild. Known as ‘the Primo’—a subtle...
