Success
A campaign on two fronts
[…]
Meanwhile at home you've seeded round two ideas: first, that the newcomers have a great deal in common with the Union really; and second, that wherever they have differences, those differences will certainly help to shore up the city's identity.Description summary:
The first paragraph varies based on the city's Chosen Site.
Chosen Site | First Paragraph |
---|---|
Ealing | They begin arriving within days, and then in greater numbers [...] Some turn up with only a bag of clothes, others with entire wagons. One Rubbery magnate arrives with sufficient inventory for a vast amber shop, enough to deck out the whole city. |
Evenlode | Newcomers from the Evenlode arrive by night, sometimes dripping wet and accompanied by a lamp-cat. They don't speak of what they've endured. [...] But they're quiet neighbours, even if they do prefer the side of the city that faces away from the Magistracy. |
Balmoral | The newcomers from Balmoral arrive with odd clothes and odder manners – not to mention suitcases full of luxuries that can only have come from Upstairs. |
Station VIII | |
Burrow | The newcomers from Burrow-infra-Mump are very keen on organisation at a local level: on neighbourhood nicknames and block parties [...] There are more statues in the gardens after they arrive; more candles set in niches; more bells hung beside the doors. |
Moulin | |
Marigold | The newcomers are mostly devils. They know how to ingratiate themselves; and they are experts on exile. They know just what to say to make a person glad he left his old home behind. Soon each Tracklayer believes themself the hero of a grand revolt. |

Alternative Success
An influx of [Arrivals]
It is not perhaps what you expected, but not everyone who comes here arrives from the immediate vicinity.
[...]
There's a certain amount of resentful feeling from some who already live here. "We don't need them in this city as haven't built the way here," [...]Description summary:
The identity of the arrivals and the second paragraph vary based on the city's Founding Body.
Founding Body | Arrivals |
---|---|
Furnace Ancona | workers from Iron and Misery |
Furnace Ancona, Starved | Starved persons tired of the roof |
Cornelius | displaced tomb colonists |
Your Own Double | folk from the Surface |
The Double of the Manager | Clay men and women |
Founding Body | Second Paragraph |
---|---|
Furnace Ancona | They arrive with work clothes and boxes of possessions. No: boxes of contraband. No one leaves those taskmasters without wanting to filch a little something for oneself. |
Furnace Ancona, Starved | |
Cornelius | It is the architecture that draws them, and a musty quality in the air. The city is not old, but it is understanding about scars, and about not wanting to put all of oneself on show. |
Your Own Double | The reputation of the place has reached Upward. That will be your Double's doing: you are well-known, and your memories of the Surface clear. [...] almost all have come because there was something above they needed to leave behind. |
The Double of the Manager | Polythreme has heard of this city. How could it be otherwise? Some arrive in curiosity; some because they wish to choose this city over their own King; some simply because there are other Clay men here. |
