The letter

He knew better than to try and change your mind, but he couldn't keep himself from leaving a few words of wisdom for you. The letter said he'd pray for your return, and was weighted with one of his charms - a tablet of clay, engraved with magic words.

That was your father: piety and paganism, side by side.

Spirit has not changed from 10 because it's higher than 9.

Your father may become a part of your story.

Away from the world

Rosling Abbey

Wind-bitten. Bleak. Home, for all the ordered years of your novitiate.

You remember the hardy roses crawling up the cloisters. The groan of the night-wind outside your cell. Sweet plainsong, and sweeter honey from the hives along the south wall.

High on the Red Cliffs, balanced on the edge of the sea and the sky...

The priest's past

You went to the church...

A chancy challenge

...and listened to the sermon.

You will recover some Spirit (more on a success) and gain a Memory of Home.

The priest's sermons were earthy, but he was unquestionably pious. He never brought his sword into the chapel, instead leaning it outside against a gravestone, and was careful to curtail his swearing while under the Lord's roof.

At the summer fair he drank flagons of mead and told stories of his days as a wanderer, selling his labour and sword to whatever master he could find.

Afterwards he usually remembered to thank the Lord's grace for saving him from vagabondry, but there was something wolfish and wistful in his eyes as he took another drink.

This is tested when you need to think clearly.

You succeeded in a Wits challenge!

The Hall

The roof was high and steep, supported by crossed beams of pine. Light blazed in its windows. Wooden columns supported the eaves, and on each was carved a different beast: an eager hound, a rearing bull, a soaring eagle, a leaping salmon, a proud gryphon, a flame-wrapped dragon, a coiled snake, and on the very last a tiny mouse, hidden at the bottom.

A Village on the Road

A handful of honey-coloured stone cottages nestle in the trees along the road. An inn provides for travellers. A small market bustles with drovers, pedlars, and folk from the surrounding hamlets. The villagers are frank, even-tempered, but wary of strangers.

In the village you can cure conditions, visit the market to buy Gear and spend Experience to improve your character before returning to the dungeon or - if your quest and complications are complete - taking the road to end your adventure.

Life as normal

The Market

The market clamours under the eaves of oak and elder. Some stalls have bright banners to catch the eye; others are just blankets spread on the grass with a handful of wares laid out. Hawkers compete for your attention. Entertainers dance for coins. Dogs bark. And over it all, haggling voices and the jingle of coins.

Children shriek and chase each other around your legs. Drovers curse at stubborn cattle. Geese honk. Pedlars bray. You push through the crowds, examining the merchants' wares.

The Hall

The roof was high and steep, supported by crossed beams of pine. Light blazed in its windows. Wooden columns supported the eaves, and on each was carved a different beast: an eager hound, a rearing bull, a soaring eagle, a leaping salmon, a proud gryphon, a flame-wrapped dragon, a coiled snake, and on the very last a tiny mouse, hidden at the bottom.

Above Deck

You joined your neighbours at the feast

A chancy challenge

The alderman knew to show generosity if he wanted to retain his standing.

You will recover some Spirit (more on a success) and gain a Memory of Home.

A very chancy challenge

Some of the farmers were acting like lords, and some of the lords like kings. They'd benefit from being taken down a peg.

You will gain 3 Memories of Home, and on a success you will gain a Cunning Plan.

You attended the althing

Word had gone out. The Moorsfolk were summoned to council.

Spend 5 Memories of Home to add a powerful new card to your Above Deck.

The roads bustled with traffic heading to the moot. Travellers shared a little news, a lot of hearsay and endless speculation.

The great hall rose on its hill. Its doorway was busy with arrivals, trampling the fresh rushes that spilled from within. You pushed your way inside. The althing was about to begin.

You have a new card in your Above Deck: the Althing.

You've lost 5 x Memories of Home (new total 0).

When a matter needed to be settled, the Moorsolk called a moot.

You remember the Althing, where the moorsfolk held council. A new card has been added to your Above Deck.

Learning the Giant-Tongue

You know something of the speech of giants.

An almost impossible challenge

You can almost remember the faint patterns of their runes

Perhaps, with what you now know of the Giant-Tongue, you could translate them...

Spend two Memories of Home for a chance to gain Forgotten Lore. The more you know of the Giant-Tongue, the more you can gain. If you fail, you will learn a little more of the Giant-Tongue.

            Unlocked when Learning the Giant-Tongue is:

A handful of lumbering phrases

A heavy word or two

A few dozen words, like rocks tumbling down a mountain

You understand its bones, if not its stony skin. Who else could say the same?

You manage clumsy sentences. It sounds like the earth grinding its teeth

            2
            You need 2 x Memories of Home  (you have 0)

Your cousin climbed the stones

He was as sure as a hill-goat.

Gain a Reckless Folly and a Cunning Plan.


On the shoulders of...

You climbed the tallest of the stones

Boldness

Tested in challenges of courage.

A chancy challenge

Many had tried to climb the stone. Few succeeded. The handholds were shallow and the edges sharp, and, once, you were certain the stone tried to shrug you off.

But you persisted. When you stood astride the great grey stone you were the tallest thing for miles around.

You succeeded in a Boldness challenge!

Your memories sustain you. You can spend them in Camp or on Above cards.

You now have 3 x Memories of Home.

You've gained 1 x Reckless Folly (new total 2).
