ASHLY: Okay.
MATT: You have a question?
LIAM: There is a difference between Crownsguard
and Empire soldiers? Is one higher than the other?
MATT: Well there’s the military. The Crownsguard
are essentially the general guardians of every
township and they do day to day law enforcement.
MARISHA and SAM: Cops.
MATT: The actual military soldiers, you saw
gathering on the outskirts of Zadash when the war
first kicked in, and passed one of the large
armies traveling eastward from up by the western
side of the Silberquel Ridge.
LIAM: Yeah, I don’t think we’ve ever discussed
this, but is Caleb’s father Crownsguard, or Empire?
MATT: No. Your father would have been low-level
military.
LIAM: Which is below both of those?
MATT: No. It’s slightly above Crownsguard.
LIAM: Okay.
ASHLY: They’re the Grudge Gang that we see?
MATT: Yes, and watching as you pass by. You get
the sense that it looks like the Empire is hiring
mercenaries for the war.
ASHLY: Okay.
MATT: Coasting around the north side. You tell the
group to make a wide berth outside of the trench.
Which is on the northern end of the plaza.
Following the directive of Keelyn you start
weaving toward what’s called North Clover. Clover
Street, you’ve now begun to note is the large
central street that is the one throughline of the
entire city. It runs all around the treeline of
the Savalierwood. It’s strange and not straight in
places, and it was designed to follow the southern
border of this forest. The northern side of it,
North Clover is built directly into this forest.
You know– Make a history check, actually. Caleb,
you can make a history check too.
ASHLY: 17.
MATT: Not bad. That works. You’ve been at this for
a while. The Savalierwood has been cursed for many
centuries. The once-green forest now stands a
greyish purple ashen color that it now holds and
the superstition and mythology around it has
allowed the city of Shadycreek Run to prevent
Empire encroachment. They built the city into the
space, and every time the Empire has attempted to
move forward they’ve pulled back and used it as a
defensive position. Essentially, over a number of
conflicts, the Empire just gave up, and let the
region exist on its own. It is dangerous, the
wood. The deeper in, the more dangerous it gets.
ASHLY: And The Sour Nest is nestled into it.
MATT: It’s nestled into the forest even further
north of where the city stops in the forest.
Continuing on you begin to enter the canopy of the
south Savalierwood. The shade completely consumes
the city at this point, even though it’s
mid-morning and the clouds are broken up so that
occasional bits of warmth and sunlight would
occasionally pass through the city, now it seems
