Free Seas of Kay'va

> *Kay’va means “Our House,” and there could be no better name for my homeland. We call it “The Free Seas,” but it’s actually a free association of communes, which we first established after our revolt over 300 years ago. Led by rebel slave and autodidact Cecile Cartine—founder of the worker-collectivist ideology which came to be known as Cartinism—not only did we managed to establish autonomy, but we also shook the very foundations of a damn near millennia old empire in the process. When it came time to build Concentus, the ringed city, I suppose we wanted to prove that it could do just as well, if not better, than any of the other nations of the continent. Which is probably why our chunk of the city is so often decorated with the flag of the revolution: a blue field, with golden sextant and machete connecting the waves to the stars.*

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
The **Free Seas of Kay’va** (pronounced *kai-vah*) is formerly the **Fourth Canton** of Aldomina. It is an association of Drakkan communes out in the sea. Led by Cecile Cartine 300 years ago, the region successfully revolted from Aldomina.
Sangfielle 36: Marrow in the Bone

## Episode Description

> Hazard, Lye Lychen, and the cleaver Chine arrived to Marrowcreek together, but now they find themselves separated and spread to the extremities of the mysterious town. To the north, the card dealer and erstwhile caravaneer finds herself face to face with their quarry in the most unlikely of places. To the south, the junk mage confronts questions he’d thus far denied he was interested in. And to the east, the hunter sees a reflection of themself and is pulled ever closer towards it.

Sangfielle 06: The Hymn of the Mother-Beast Pt. 2

### Episode used

Sangfielle 13: Market Day in Blackwick

The **savory salt** was a resource found in the caves of the Hymn of the Mother-Beast. It tastes good, and licking it provides nourishment and satiation as if one had eaten a meal.

Marn used up the salt at the temple of Erlin to heal her boils. Part of this involved processing trauma and calming down and thinking through this Echo fallout carefully.
Fire Alight

The unnameable entity known as **the Fire Alight**, or **a burning god amongst iron trains**, is a God-rank train worshipped by the Disciples of the Triadic Pyre.

It is unknown whether this appears as a regular locomotive, which are already terrifying and on fire enough. However, it does have the special power that if its real name is uttered (which may be physically impossible), it will become aware of the speaker and chase them down.

It is known to cross the Ojan at Bridge Cathedral, which is why the Triadic Pyre built a cathedral there.

Hymnal of the Mother-Beast

The **Hymnal of the Mother-Beast** is the holy text of the Sisters of the Mother-Beast. It is a hefty tome, hundreds of years old, with long cloth bookmarks.

Virtue came upon it on a lectern in a small side chapel in the Priory of the Mother-Beast. She flipped through it looking for information, and took it with her.

During her downtime in Episode 13, Virtue spent some time studying the book and taking notes, which were of little use.

Virtue gave it to Arbogast as payment to heal her major Blood fallout Downed.
Marrisa Lefebvre novels

The **Marrisa Lefebvre novels** are three books from an alternate dimension accessed through Zevunzolia. Written in a language influenced by that dimension's increased spread of Kay'Van culture, they are bogstandard detective adventure novels. Two of their titles are "The Ivory Staircase" and "The Broken Vase".

Pickman ws very eager to get rid of them, but had difficulty finding a buyer due to their niche status. Her strategy of walking up to random people and slapping them down on the card table did not pay off well. However, Alekest san Geraint was interested in items associated with Zevunzolia, and received them in exchange for a renowned item that has not yet been decided.
Sangfielle 27: The Perpetual Oratorio of Davia Pledge Pt. 5

## Episode Description

> In the dark acreage under Pledge House, Duvall, Lyke, and Virtue confront the unthinkable. But like all unthinkable things, it begs to be thought through, to be considered, to be turned around in one’s mind. There, it lashes and grows and reaches, wooing and harming in equal part. Until, finally, the unthinkable *isn’t*. It is instead all that can be thought. It is an identifying scar. It is raw opportunity. It is the only thing that matters.

Marrowcreek

> *Quite a ways west of Blackwick, the maps say there is a town called Marrowcreek. Never been myself, but I’ve heard about it (often in the sort of hypotheticals people pose to you to “make conversations” at parties.)*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
**Marrowcreek** is a small town to the west of the mountain range that bifurcates the heartland. It is also the name of the small waterway by the same town.

## Hypothetical existence

Marrowcreek is invoked by the Glim Macula interviewers in Episode 21, who entreat various visitors to Sapodilla to imagine strange situations at the train station, open-air stage, theater, well, and fountain of a strange desolate town.

## Concrete existence

In Episode 34, the Jade Moon somehow ends up on the river of Marrowcreek instead of the Ojan, despite these being in completely different places.

In fact, the ship had arrived at a mirage town created by the heartland. For more information on this location, see The moon-touched woods.
Marrowcreek may also be a real town, but as they had never in fact left their original course, its true location is far to the west.

## Name origins

Marrowcreek is named after the marrows grown in the field to the east of the town, says Reuben.

Marrowcreek is named after the Doctor Mallow who works at its clinic, says Zofina.

Marrowcreek is named for the sweet delicious bone marrow harvested at its slaughterhouse, says Delian.
Sapodilla

**Sapodilla** is a tiered seaside city in the South. It's not a metropolis, but it is one of the largest cities within Sangfielle. Many believe it to be the most civilized or safe place inside Concentus.

## History

Sapodilla was the first place settled by Aldomina during their conquest of the heartland around 500-600 years ago, and used as their first stronghold.

**Gilium** is a Cleaver who was Chine's mentor. However, Chine does not remember them.

Mabriella du Feza created a wicker version of Gilium based on information gained from probing Chine's mind, hoping that someone trusted enough would drop his guard enough to open the door for more fruitful interrogation. He felt that there was something familiar and calming about their presence, but ultimately did not fall for the trap.

Last Rest

## Meta information

### Debut

"The Curse of Eastern Folly Pt. 1" (first introduced)"What Happened at Bell Metal Station Pt. 1" (named, visited onscreen)

**Last Rest** is an abandoned town to the east of Blackwick. It was the last place visited by the Empress Altapasqua before her disappearance, hence the name.

The town was entirely abandoned in the past 150 years, but the remains are well preserved, so it seems uncanny and manufactured as if the inhabitants had only just left. It also possesses a large, fully operational train station (the closest large one to Blackwick), which trains stop at regularly and open their doors their despite the lack of passenger traffic.

In Episode 17, the Blackwick Group travel to Last Rest, hoping to catch a train south to Sapodilla. They meet Katonya in the station building, fighting a large group of gandies who are continually being reinforced from pipes coming up from beneath the station.
Bridge Cathedral

This page is under construction as of November 2021. Please excuse the mess.

> *In the hierarchy of all trains--or is it perhaps capitalized, I do not recall--there is one engine that storms ahead of the others. "The Burning God Among Iron Trains" is its name, but the Disciples of the Triadic Pyre call it simply **Fire Alight**. Well, whatever you might call it, it's a damned big one. And it needs to cross the Ojan like anything else. And thus: The Bridge Cathedral. Largest structure of its kind in Sangfielle or anywhere. At two miles across, it's partly a church, partly grim city, and partly an engineering pit. What are they engineering? Well... It turns out, being the devotees of the Fire Alight shifts your relationship with other trains. At least the ones who, themselves, are under the Burning God's thrall.*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
**Bridge Cathedral** is a landmark that is both a bridge and a cathedral. A two-mile-long railway bridge crosses the Ojan; as the trains crossing here includes their god, the Disciples of the Triadic Pyre built a grand structure there, part house of worship and part engineering pit.

The Jade Moon stopped at Bridge Cathedral at the end of Episode 32. According to its itinerary, the Deacon of the Blood was to board, with some time also for passengers to visit local destinations. And boy, did they.
Thread of the Mother-Beast

The **Thread of the Mother-Beast** was some of the magical thread used by nuns to sew up the eighth, false Mother-Beast leg.

Chine gave the thread to the Broken Quartet as payment to request a specific song during their concert in Episode 34. The violist used it to replace a broken string on their instrument.
Concentus

> *When the panic set in, the five great states responded in kind. For the first time since the Kay’van revolution, delegates from each power met and agreed that something must be done to contain the ill wind sweeping across the once verdant country. And so, Concentus was built as a collaboration. A vast ringed city, covered in magical wards, filled with those eager to delve into the heartland or to push back its most fearsome creatures. Because of relics and inventions recovered from the depths of the heartland, the gaslit city of Concentus is now the most technologically advanced metropolis of the continent. And yet, each moonrise feels like it may be the last...*

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
**Concentus, the Ringed City** (pronounced *kun-CHEN-tus*) is vast ringed city that surrounds and contains Sangfielle. It is the most technologically advanced metropolis on the continent.
Babor Mirah

**Babor Mirah** is a trade medium in the Caravan of the Coin. Trade is a somewhat divine act and they read the trades of the day similarly to tarot. They seem at home and in control while in the market, and although they are not in an official position of power, they are a leader in the community.

Unlike many Drakkan, Babor is not from Kay'Va.

## Appearance

They are a coral and white Drakkan. They wear flowing clothing and lots of gold jewelry and chains, including a gold nose ring that has a chain connected elsewhere.

Colette

**Colette** is Pickman's roommate and friend during her sojourn in Zevunzolia, after an alteration in reality retroactively made them have moved in together. She does not understand that this happened, or that Pickman is from another world. She often encourages Pickman to come to the theatre or social events and to be more friendly.

Eunomia

**Eunomia** is the goddess of rainstorms, and part of the Boundless Conclave.

## Description

A tall, mature woman with a muscular build, wavy white hair in an attractive style, mauve skin, cobalt blue eyes. She's usually portrayed wearing a plain outfit made of solid water (jello overalls). She carries a drum.

## Temple

Eunomia's temple exists in its own divine realm, like Aterika’Kaal’s, rather than being on a specific location on the map. It is full of rain that is holding a shape.

## Whispers in the City by the Sea

When the Glim Macula come to Bucho’s hotel room looking for him, Lye Lychen teleports both of them, Pickman, and Duvall to the temple of Eunomia.
Roseroot Hall

**Roseroot Hall** is the manor residence of Dayward YVE. It was built by a family member at a different location within the heartland, but with the help of Dyre Ode, he found the house and had it rebuilt in Blackwick County. As a result, parts of the floor are somewhat lopsided.

For more information, see Aterika’Kaal.
Since the end of the Secret Ledger arc, YVE has almost entirely abandoned the manor out of fear, and now lives in town.

Jade Moon

Dining, dancing, gambling, live music, plush living. An engine that churns below. 250 feet long, 50 feet wide. It’s a beast, but in the width of the Ojan — in some places over 2 miles wide — it pales.*

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*

The **Jade Moon** is a steamboat apparently originating from the Sleeping City. The Blackwick Group traveled on it north from Sapodilla in Passage on the Jade Moon, as Duvall received tickets in payment for his help in incorporating bugs into the Perpetual Oratorio.

It is slated to be scuttled at the end of the journey. It is unclear whether the ship has made previous trips along the Ojan.

He has not yet appeared onscreen, but through the framing device of reporting the adventures of the Blackwick Group in his paper, he provides opinionated commentary on the events of upcoming arcs and the history of colonialism within the heartland.

As of Six Travelers, an enormous radio antenna was dug up from the Blackwick Mines, and he has switched to broadcasting with it.
Mabriella du Feza

## Meta information

### Debut

Whispers in the City by the Sea (as voice)"Hark! The Citadel Beneath Pt. 3" (as disembodied presence, named)"Hark! The Citadel Beneath Pt. 4" (in "person")

**Mabriella du Feza** is a high-ranking member of the Wrights of the Seventh Sun, and their liason within the Glim Macula.

She displays some sort of supernatural power involving the hair of some creature, able to penetrate people's brains and read their minds, and control puppet versions of herself made out of hair. This is self-evidently flouting the Macula's own beliefs around heartsblood creatures, as people with power often do.

Blick finds her extremely creepy, and is willing to sell her out.

When Chine was captured after attempting to kill an interviewer, they woke up in du Feza's clutches in a throne room of the Interred Citadel. She tortured him both physically and mentally, but was unable to gain much useful information. She also took his egg sac, and used it to further power an orrery mimicking the form of Zevunzolia.

When members of the Blackwick Group broke in to rescue Chine, they confronted du Feza. Pickman and Es were able to deal a significant amount of damage to her two puppet bodies (one dressed as an equestrian, the other in a fancy ballgown), but she escaped the Citadel as it collapsed, leaving behind crumpled wicker.

Blackwick

Blackwick, circled on a map of Sangfielle

> “*The rising tide hides the skeletons.*”
>
>
> ― That's what they say.

**Blackwick**, previously known as **Eastern Folly**, is the mining town in which the events of *Sangfielle* are based.

## Location

It is located in the central north of Sangfielle. It is next to a mountainside to which prospectors travel to mine for *stuff*: relics from the past; inventions from the future; things from now but not here.

## History

Eastern Folly existed for around 200 years.

Ever since the nuns of the Mother-Beast disappeared into the mountain, all the people, mostly miners, within the mountain were devoured once a generation, and all townsfolk alive to know what had happened were cursed to be unable to speak of what had transpired.

## Events of The Ground Itself

The curse was broken a year ago and the name of the town was changed to Blackwick.

## Episode Description

But instead of a dank cellar, half of the Blackwick group found their way into a living hymn, simmering under eternal noon-suns, where ashen nuns worship a goddess they once betrayed even as they tried to save her. Inside, Polyte and a Pale Magistrate who pursued him with the same vigor as the Blackwick Group (if much more virulence).

Train bones

The **train bones** were Pickman's starting resource, a folded-up menu card (with meal token) for the dining car of the Prince Alexander. It is not clear why they are like bones in any way.

She exchanged this at the temple of Erlin to heal the Echo fallout Hex Eye. During this, Hex Eye allowed her to see something useful: the menu card transformed, in every world, into one from the Grand Cormorant Limited.
Felix Hollowfield

### Appears in

## Biographical information

### Place of death

Rotundana Library

> *In many ways, brilliant inventor Felix Hollowfield is the reason for the recent surge in Glim Macula activity. Though the group has stalked the streets of Sapodilla for decades, it was Hollowfield’s collection of tools that both allowed the Macula to face down truly powerful supernatural foes and put a deep and singular fear in the hearts of Sapodillans. His weapons reveal the hidden, nullify the mystical, and ground the transcendent. Where could he have found such ideas as these?*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
**Felix Hollowfield** is a researcher for the Glim Macula in Sapodilla.

## Appearance

Felix is a human man in his mid-fifties, or maybe early sixties. He has stubble and a little crooked grin. When seen out on detachment with Emma Serchilde, he wears a wicker basket helmet that shows his mouth and an armor-like wicker vest. He also has a blue-flamed flashlight on his shoulder, which is a lit torch with a mirror attached that projects a blue spotlight.

## Scientific career

He has an evil basement lab in the Interred Citadel.

### Blue flame

Hollowfield's most influential invention is a strange blue flame that harms anything too touched by the strange forces of the Heartland (including Chine, Duvall and his bugs, Virtue, and Es). This is widely used by the Glim Macula.
Pale Magistratum

> *If Aldomina has a superego, it is the Pale Magistratum. Though its populace now lives in dense cities, the first settlers of the ash-and-snow covered Second Canton led hardscrabble lives. In order to enforce rationing and harshly punish anyone who directly or indirectly harmed a member of a settlement, the culture ordered itself around its Magistrates — holy marshals given weapons blessed by Fulmina, goddess of immediate justice, and the right to use that power as they see fit. Today, these Magistrates exist in a complex hierarchy, but even the lowest ranking members of the order are fearsome arbiters of what they perceive as justice.*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
The **Pale Magistratum**, also known as the **Second Canton**, is a territory in the world of *Sangfielle*, under the control of Aldomina.

The Pale Magistratum is mostly made up of dense cityscapes upon mountains of ash and snow that are heavily policed by Magistrates. They act as the Throne of Dominion's right hand by carrying out their holy law.

Its citizens appear to emphasize order and religion, though not much is known about their faith, other than that they have a Goddess of Immediate Justice named Fulmina. Most of the population are Caprak.

Pickman was born in the Pale Magistratum, in White City.

### Place of birth

The Interred Citadel

**The baby** is the creature that hatched from the egg sac.

It is a strange majestic creature with a quadripartite jaw that resembles a combination of a dolphin, velociraptor, and an eel. It also acts very unsure, like a startled baby deer. It is carnivorous and will eat unattended corpses.

After throwing up on Chine's shirt, they are devoted to him and take cues from him as to what to do. Chine refuses to name the baby until it is able to tell them its own name; Hazard refers to it as "your dog" despite it not remotely resembling a dog.
The Grand Cormorant Limited

> “*Worst train yet.*”
>
>
> ― Jack

**The Grand Cormorant Limited** is a train allegedly "shackled" and owned by Ms. Chantilly Scathe. While their relationship is not clear and decidedly unprecedented, there is definitely some sort of connection between the two. When its engine rumbles with emotion, her eyes dilate and *someone* is able to unleash power that appears to be aligned with Chantilly's interests. But can anyone truly own a train?

Chantilly is, in fact, the train herself. Her motives and desires are yet unknown.

## Appearance

The *Grand Cormorant* is very luxe in a time-appropriate way, with a brown and gold color palette. It has a cormorant design built into the curved front of the engine, like a figurehead.

## Market Day in Blackwick

The *Grand Cormorant* stopped in Blackwick at the beginning of Episode 13. Chantilly Scathe gave her spiel a few times, and a number of people got on and off safely.

Pickman stopped by the station, and climbed onto the train without permission, heading for the engine room. Chantilly left her post to argue with her and ask her to leave, and seemed to calm the train. When Pickman tried to intimidate her into revealing what she had "done to" the train, its engine began to rumble in response, and something opened up and connected to her. Chantilly gave Pickman a business card with the train's schedule printed on it, and a sharp dismissal.

Around 3 AM, the train left; Blackwick leadership suspected that it had taken the egg sac, but thankfully it had not as the group sent after it were soon distracted.

## Itinerary

Chantilly Scathe claims to have traveled to all four corners of the heartland on this thing. So far, it has not eaten anyone or notably crashed.

The *Grand Cormorant* was known to have visited Sapodilla. Pickman has an enchanted train timetable which updates itself with the *Cormorant*’s schedule each week, but she may not have noticed this.
YVE Mining Concern scrip

### Episode used

Sangfielle 13: Market Day in Blackwick; Sangfielle 22: Whispers in the City by the Sea

The **YVE Mining Concern scrip** is a resource given to members of the Blackwick Group by Dayward yon Vantzon-Estonbergh as a reward for de-haunting his house. He also pays miners for their finds in the same stuff.

Duvall spent his in the first downtime on a book about a famous cursed painting, getting back a d6 bag of coins (also Haven) in change. Lyke traded his, with his blunderbuss, for a good quality gun.

Es gave hers to Old Alamae in Episode 22, who burned it. This downgraded her major Echo fallout, of showing a mark of the Heart in an eyeball texture on her unpleasantly dewy skin, to Siren Song — she heard the calls of many heritrixes trapped beneath the city.
Yellowfield

> *Before the Panic this little valley of yellow flowers was the territory of a petty wizard and the subjects he frightened or beguiled. He called it his Xanthic Demesne, but these days we just call it Yellowfield. In the center of the valley, there’s a candle factory, and it is here that the old axiom refers: “All the candle light in Sangfielle was made with just twenty odd hands.”*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*
**Yellowfield** is a town to the South of Blackwick, across the mountains. It has a population around twenty.

## Geography

The town is in a field of rapeseed (canola) flowers that is cut through the middle by one of the major shape lines. The town itself is on the north side of the tracks and is a little village of five shack-like houses, a longer building, and the Yellowfield Candle Company.

On the southern side of the tracks is the South Field, which is somehow hotter and more unpleasant to be in.

## History

### Rana's story

Before the Panic, the region was owned by a petty little wizard who called it his **Xanthic Demesne**. After the Panic, his subjects turned on him. They took over the field and built the factories. They perhaps did this with a little help from the Shape (which was young at the time).
Decades later, the church was built and the leader of it took power. They lost control to the factory foremen, who were replaced by the village elder. These transitions of power have been a repeating cycle over the years.
The Bone-Crumbler

**The Bone-Crumbler** is Brace’s broadsword, which he gave to Pickman under the impression that she was some legendary hero. It is a huge jagged blade with a serrated edge at the hilt for breaking open armor.

She broke it over her knee and fed it to her armor the same day, at Bell Metal Station, to gain the Endure skill for the rest of the session.
The Covenant of Kaitankro

Not to be confused with the deity Kaitankro
**The Covenant of Kite and Crow** (aka. **Chitin Crow** aka. **Kaitankro**) is one of the major religions of Sangfielle. The main icon of the religion is kites.

Even among followers of the religion, there is not one agreed-upon spelling of the name, nor is there agreement about the god's appearance. Some followers debate about the truth of the matter, while some don’t have a strong opinion.

## Beliefs

* *It's better to be anchored to something than nothing* [i.e. community is important]
* *It's better to still go with the flow* [i.e. still be willing to change and blow in the wind like a kite]
* *May as well go with the people who are nice* [i.e. build community with cool folks (e.g. Kaitankro)]

## Almanac Description

> *You’ve seen them, haven’t you? The unsettlingly gregarious priests with the strange, chitinous crow masks? Of course you have, with their stilt-legs and their stilt-houses and their collection of stakes and strings and, of course, the kites. I asked one once if it was a pun: Kite and Crow, chitin crow. Something like that. The priestess told me that Kaitankro was a very real god, if a funny one, and that one day, he visited her. Like every morning, she raised each of the town’s kites up to the winds in daily worship, and Kaitankro landed on the smallest one—a sight to see, she said, since her god is so large a being. And like a carnivalist, Kaitankro walked down the wire, tips of her talons, until he met the priest at the bottom. There, I was told, they whispered in the priest’s ear a single phrase: “Better to live as birds on wires than die as men in the wind.” Chaos, it seems, breeds community, too.*

Stilted Temple of Kaitankro

The **Stilted Temple of Kite and Crow** (aka. **Chitin Crow** aka. **Kaitankro**) is a small, tiered temple to Kaitankro that looks like a pagoda on stilts. There is a collection of kites tied to it, some of which are so high up they're in the clouds. Rana tends to the temple.

## Location

The temple is in a canyon pass and overlooks Yellowfield. Due to the remote location, it does not get many visitors.

## Details

* Domain: Religion-Haven
* Mind d8 Haunt: Have dinner with Rana
	+ Tea is free but food and stories cost a bit more
* Echo/Fortune d6 Haunt: Sacrifice something with the kites

This page is under construction as of December 2021. Please excuse the mess.

## Meta information

### Debut

"The Perpetual Oratorio of Davia Pledge Pt. 3"

## Location information

### Size

Enormous, expanding underneath half of Sapodilla

**The Perpetual Oratorio of Davia Pledge** is an enormous mechanical orchestra built underneath Pledge House and extending below much of Sapodilla. It was created by Davia Pledge, who, on the night of its debut, was conducting a parallel counterpart composition in the concert hall.

## Concert

Directly above the Oratorio, on the day of Open Gates, Davia Pledge would unveil a beautiful composition in the rebuilt concert hall. This was advertised throughout the city for some time beforehand.

The music was light and beautiful. Unfortunately, at some point through the night the doors were locked and it is likely that the fire from thirty years ago was summoned again, as screaming was heard within.

## Workings

The Oratorio is a god by virtue of its ability to take 1 and make 2. Specifically, it originally drained small increments off the life force of the unfortunates trapped within it, which were soon regenerated; however, by Episode 27 it had gained the ability to absorb the energy of the sea.
Zahir book

A **book about the Zahir** was a a resource Duvall found at one of Blackwick's many markets. It is a collection of writings about the famous maybe-cursed painting "Remembrance of the Zahir", discussing its history and effects.

According to the *Almanac*, its title is *Remembering the Zahir*, which is somewhat confusing.

### Debut

"Passage on the Jade Moon Pt. 1" (introduced)"Marrow in the Bone" (debut)

### Appears in

Marrow Arc
Dead in the Dust Arc

**Uno Riscano**, known as the **Count of Cards**, is a member of the Wrights of the Seventh Sun, and Hazard's nemesis.

He is a devil with one horn missing.

## Background

Hazard states that the person whom they are tracking took everything from them. This includes a number of memories, including the majority of details about his identity and their own. What seems clear is that over the course of one long, hazy night, Hazard sunk everything they owned into betting on a series of games of False War with Uno Riscano, and then making further bets to recoup their losses. Finally, hoping to win everything back, they wagered the silver coin that they carried in their mouth. When they lost this round, Uno correctly judged that they would not be willing to give up the coin, and stabbed them.

Uno left a kiss mark upon the card for the Count of Cards in Hazard's deck.

## Marrow in the Bone

In Episode 34, Kaitankro speculates that the Count is likely somewhere west of the mountains. Indeed, at the end of the episode, he is seen in Marrowcreek, walking towards the hypothetical fountain described by the Glim Macula interrogators.

However, this was a mirage: somehow, the false town created by the moon-touched woods had summoned him here based on Hazard's desire to get even, and given him a job at the slaughterhouse. Delian had noticed him there, and led Hazard there when they enquired around town.

Hazard confronted Uno when he emerged from the shower there, and the two ended up playing a game of False War, which strangely recapitulated the events of their last meeting. Hazard attempted to cheat but lost the hand, and Uno again stabbed them; enraged, and once again remembering his name and the echoes of the previous hand, they shot him. However, when they were distracted by Katonya, he managed to flee.

## Trivia

* In our world, Uno is the name of a game of cards.
The Sleeping City

> *Every 13 years, a metropolis wakes with the buzzing sound of life. Do not cross its borders uninvited, especially not when it and its inhabitants are at rest.*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*

## Meta information

### Debut

"The Blackwick Group" (first introduced)

The Sleeping City is a futuristic (1920s-era) city filled with jazz, high-rise buildings, and a whoooooole lot of unspecified bugs. It is aligned with The Structure.

Somewhere between two mile markers, there is a space much less than a mile, and within that a mysterious city sleeps until every thirteenth year, when it opens into normal space. It is slated to do so some time this year.

Duvall spent much of his inheritance on an expedition to find the Sleeping City, and he did make it there! ... but at the wrong time, so all he got was some of its guardians as his new friends.

## Culture

Some of Davia Pledge's music cylinders appear to resemble in style the music of the Sleeping City, but it is unclear if there is any direct connection. So does the single record bought by the Toll Collectors.

### Currency

Instead of a barter economy, the Sleeping City has a centralized currency with both coins and banknotes, and a cohesive art direction.

## Passage on the Jade Moon arc

Duvall incorporated some of the power of the Sleeping City into the Perpetual Oratorio by leaving a few bugs in Virtue's cocoon. In thanks, it sent him tickets for the Jade Moon, a luxury steamboat to provide him and his companions with safe and enjoyable passage back north.

The Broken Quartet

> *Cello, viola, violin, clarinet. That’s all it takes to make people move. Well, that and some skill.*
>
>

*– The Almanac of the Heartland Rider*

The Broken Quartet is a band that boarded the Jade Moon in Episode 34. They are diagetically somewhat responsible for the soundtrack of *Sangfielle*.

The Broken Quartet are four fairly ordinary people, shabbily dressed in formal concert wear. They are musicians who once were the finest string quartet in this region (possibly around the Panic), and then something happened. They forgot how to play their instruments, in a mysterious and traumatic fashion, and may have also lost them; but they have pieced some things together, and leaned into the ruin of the thing.

The violinist is the band leader. The band once encountered a mysterious exact double of the violist in a bar in Cantbank, and are unsure which one they took back, as the violist has been acting off lately.
The Visitor

**The Visitor** is a mysterious traveler from the alternate reality where the Free Seas of Kay'va expanded throughout most of the continent. They once appeared to the Wrights of the Seventh Sun in Sapodilla, exchanging knowledge and a number of books in a strange language (including the Marrisa Lefebvre novels), before realizing that this group were weird fascists and not to be aided or trusted.

In "Six Travelers: Pickman", the Visitor provided Pickman with a passage back to Sangfielle from Zevunzolia.

Telluricist Union

The **Telluricist Union** is a group of people once displaced by Aldomina that now work as craftspeople. They seek to make life more sustainable for everyone in the Heartland.

Its work falls under four different specialties:

* Remedial: Fixing things that are broken
* Practical: Butchering, medical care, and adjacent work
* Foundational: The creation of new tools
* Material: Finding and discovering new things in the Heartlands that can be of use to people

Three hundred members have mastery of all four categories, gaining the title of "Keen". The Union established this tradition for longevity purposes — if a bunch of members get killed, their collective knowledge will still be preserved. This was drawing on traditions such as those of the Carpana sages.
The Ground Itself

**The Ground Itself** is a one-session storytelling game for 2-5 players, played with household materials: a coin, a six-sided die, and a deck of cards.

Focusing on place - one specific place, chosen by the group - The Ground Itself unfolds over radically disparate time periods that may range from 4 days to 18,000 years. By casting wildly into time, it considers how places both change and remember themselves. Fundamentally, The Ground Itself is about the echoes and traces we leave for others after we are gone.
