Perched on Top of the Dome

ID: 339815

Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions.

Up here, you have a place to sit for a moment, and a clear view in every direction. […]

Description summary:
The view will be impacted by warfare.

Ravages	Description
0 - 3	You can see closer things, too: the jungle canopy, the edges of your Base-Camp. Far off, the Smoking Shore.
4 - 7	Parabola has not been too damaged recently: there are no armies moving on the horizon, no burnt swathes in the foliage. Your Base-Camp is safe, and not very distant.
8 - 11	Here and there, the traces of battle are still visible – dead trees in the jungle, meadows that have ceased to bloom. At least your Base-Camp is safe.
12 - 19	The terrain still shows the destruction of recent battles. Whole areas of the forest are laid low, and the hulks of siege-machines have been left to rot. Your Base-Camp bristles with guards.
20+	Destruction from the recent war is visible everywhere. Smoke hangs in the air; ash blows across your cheek. Carrion birds circle over a field of the vanquished.
