I'm building a setting using a modified Gygax 75 Framework i'm tentatively calling Phipps 23! You can read about that here. The Meteor Break main post is here.
Icons Representing the Idiotic, Destructive Power of the Hyper Wealthy
Event: The Waning. The autumn parade from the top of the city to the earth carrying the preserved corpse of the last moon elf king via palenquin, mourning the death of the moon and the founding of Loch Syzygy. It culminates in a feast to new beginnings and the future.
Landmark: The Vector Building. Downtown skyscraper of steel and glass evoking a rocket launch. Indirectly owned by multiple aristocratic houses, it is the foothold of the immortal aristocracy in the city.
Person: Nicolai Stone, CEO of Syzyrgy Liquidations. Former partner of a larger private military company who left abruptly and on bad terms to seize an opportunity to operate out of Loch Syzygy.
Creature: Blight Ochre. Industrial magic byproducts left to accumulate and gain life. Shared enemy of Fungal Bellringers and Forest Folk (though they differ greatly in approach).
Treasure: Telemetry Records of The Basilisk. A magnetic tape from the godhunter craft that shot the moon in pursuit of a new god. Contains both evidence of the house that funded the act and indicates where that god hid. Any house of the immortal aristocracy would kill to get their hands on it. The Loch Syzygy Council could use it to demand reparations, to know who pulled the trigger and destroyed their ancestral home.
Secret: Envoys of House Ecliptic are meeting in secret with the Terminal Authority board of directors to establish a shell company and smuggle goods in and out of the city.
