one particular exception being cats. No one ever seems to see how they make their way up, but they inevitably find the top of the wall, causing the worshipers to believe their deity moves through them. It’s rare to find a building atop the wall without at least one feline inhabitant as a result.

(1) Congregant’s Hall

braving the darkness of the towers that bookend the wall segment. Then came the trappers and rangers, looking for trade and company among the wilds. Erelong the roots of a tiny settlement started to be put down, eventually blossoming into the ramshackle, claustrophobic hamlet upon the giant’s...

Character Idea: An Unregulated character monitoring the work of their proxies on a bank of monitors as they butler prepares the purple venom tea; that’s the great thing about having underlings, if any of them get… “retired,” there is always two more ready to take their place (After p. 49)
Character Idea: An Unregulated character that scoffs at the idea that any of these hoi polloi are actually making choices about cyberware; they are just buying the formats and designs that they chose 9 months ago and often buying the pale imitations from the fast-cybertech corps (After p. 47)

Character Idea: An Unknowable character that has just always found it much easier talking to the arcane monolith they dug up in their backyard rather than any of their neighbors; sure communing with this ancient, eldritch standing stone has caused certain alterations, but, worth it (After p. 44)

Character Idea: A Renown character that has been unstoppable politician ever since they had this cyberware enhancement allowing them to turn literally any group of two or more people into a press conference; these other suckers on city council are going to be left in the dust! (After p. 41)

The Throbbing Oasis calls to those whose minds occupy liminal spaces; those slipping from consciousness to sleep, those in a state of distress, the desperate, the forlorn, the seeking. The particulars of how the Oasis chooses to communicate vary person by person, though as the small camp of...

Character Idea: An Opposed character that just needs a bit of rest among their acolytes after a hard day of blowing up the headquarters of the Mongoose Brotherhood; it’s important to take time and put in the effort to keep one’s fanatical cultists happy and they always love story time
