Description summary:
The description varies depending on the city's Chosen Site.
Chosen Site | Description |
---|---|
Ealing Gardens | Rubbery Men sometimes pass through town, and may […] be found wearing tracklayers' uniforms. If they stay more than three days, they do their work shifts, […] like anyone else. There's one now, […] carving lettering on […] a building. The letterforms are a bit free. |
The Magistracy of the Evenlode | A man in prisoner's garb sits on a low wall, eating a hunk of bread. He looks as though he has recently had a dunking; his hair is dried against his skull, and his clothes have come out stiff and briny. All the same, it's plain he's glad to be here […] |
Balmoral | On the corner stands a man with a striking ginger beard and a disreputable cloak. He is offering to sell Magisterial Lager, dried flowers, and 'genuine Surface meats' to the tracklayers for a tidy sum. |
Station VIII | The local population is quiet and cautious. People meeting on the street don't exchange many words; […] The lights of Station VIII can be seen just a little distance to the south, and one has a strong impression of being watched. |
Burrow | Somewhere, a few houses away, choir practice is in session: the melody and cadence of a track-laying song are unmistakable, but they have received a new and more pious set of verses. There is more about gratitude and daily bread, […] |
Moulin | Two photographers from Moulin are trying to capture a […] View of the Town, intended for an audience of […] armchair travellers in London. By their expressions and oaths, it's hard going: one already lost a lens this morning to the hoof of a goat-demon. |
Marigold | A devil in tracklayer's gear is […] asking passers-by whether they would be interested in divesting themselves of […] their souls […] He has warm blankets to offer, and chocolates, and cigars […] capturing just how tracklayers speak amongst themselves. |
