Slivers & Shards: Plotting Post

[powersthatbe]

Week One begins outside Fallenheart, with the rescue of a refugee caravan during a dust storm. The Factors know there’s been a major psychic upheaval, and the refugees can tell them: Scatter-Spore has just fallen to the Nation-Eaters. No one present saw it happen - they were all in the Terraces when buildings in the Spire started collapsing and giant metallic roars began echoing, and they booked it. With them are also refugees from Lodestar’s terraces - nothing has happened to Lodestar, but they’re terrified, convinced for the sins of its past, Lodestar will be next.

This is, bluntly, terrible news - it’s the first city in this vale lost to Nation-Eaters in two decades, and it’s the city responsible for persuading foodstuffs to grow and making terraces stay fertile. Famine (already omnipresent) is likely to become starvation in under two years.

Fallenheart caravaneers, Wastelands bandits, and a group of Magnators and Cabalists all reach the same conclusion: they need to prepare an expedition to the High Tables. But that’s going to take time and resources - they either need to persuade Fallen Heaven and Fallen Wrath to contribute, or they need to raid the stocks of one of those cities, or Lodestar itself, to make the journey.
