Children of the Fall

A "Zero" with technical Geomancy joins Joric Slate’s rebellion to sabotage the Forge Wardens and lead a mass refugee exodus.

Plot

​Plot ​In a world ravaged by the Season of Chaos, You awakens with no memory of their past life, discarded in the deepest, most inundated, and most perilous stratum of the Undercity known as The Sump. Atlas is not floating on empty space, but is a massive "Cliff-City" anchored to a monolithic rock. As a true "Zero" with no faction, no augments, and no allies, You must survive the harsh realities of the rusted gantries and precarious habitations carved into the rock.

Opening scene

1. The Chittering Hazard You awake to the sound of high-pitched chittering, the sound of excess superheated gas venting. You are lying on a vibrating mesh gantry in a dark, humid tunnel. A Greaser kicks your boot. "Get up, static-fried fool!" he yells in pure Sump-Talk. "A Skitter-mite swarm is achieving Litho-Fusion, and this tunnel is about to be melted into a superheated slurry!" You have no weapons, just a heavy wrench, your wits, and the faint, intuitive sense of a weak point in the wall beside you. Do you run, or do you try to break the wall?
