The city is loud, on edge, and three weeks from an election — pick a direction.
Chrysalis City greets newcomers with campaign posters on every wall, street debates between rival supporters, and noticeably more militia than usual keeping the peace. Look closer and the cracks show: fine black dust settling over Dawn Town, anti-dwarf sentiment spoken openly, workers in cloth masks, and a child near the river with crystal visibly growing on her skin.
Where to start
Wherever you choose. The Feygarden Tavern is the common first stop for travelers, where Frank the goblin trades cigars for gossip.
Hooks
- Frank has heard that Morlock, a high priest from Malachite, recently arrived escorting someone important
- Rumors are circulating about a silver being seen on the Highland Plateau
- Word is that parts of the old mine network have been sealed off — nobody’s saying why
- Every faction office is hiring: escorts, investigators, explorers, specialists
- The mayoral election is three weeks away (Rhaan 9th), and all three campaigns are recruiting
Rewards
None of these threads come with a posted bounty — but each is a door into the city, and what you find behind it may be worth more than gold.
Some details are left for the table to discover.
