Description summary:
The description varies with Identified with a School:.
![]() | Description |
---|---|
The Nocturnals | A mawkishly sentimental construction by Nocturnal standards, but some of the passengers may like it. |
The Bazaarines | An embarrassingly plain construction by Bazaarine standards, but some of the board members may like it. |
The Celestials | A building in the true Celestial mode would be difficult to build, out there, and in that environment. But this at least suggests the possibility of life under a sky. |
The Mycologenes | FATE |
The Terpsichoreans | FATE |
You reject all labels | A building in the true Celestial mode would be difficult to build, out there, and in that environment. But this at least suggests the possibility of life under a sky. |

[…]Description summary:
The second paragraph of the description varies with Identified with a School:
![]() | Second paragraph |
---|---|
The Nocturnals | […] It does not acknowledge the darkness that presses around; it has nothing to say about the nature of the Neath. […] But possibly the passengers of the Great Hellbound Railway will prefer it. They so seldom show any aesthetic understanding. |
The Bazaarines | It is more a Celestial building than you would ordinarily prefer. No mystery or allusion in its décor. No impression of wealth and elegance. Nothing that hints at the Masters or the Bazaar or even to the family in the Shuttered Palace. |
The Celestials | […] not a High or Golden Celestial. It does not soar, […] will not call angels to mind […]
No, this is […] Celestial Gothic […] a romantic, nostalgic style, but without theology or philosophy; only a reasonless yearning for thatched roofs and new-mown grass. |
The Mycologenes The Terpsichoreans | No reward narrative information available for Fate-locked actions. |
You reject all labels | It is architecture in the Celestial mode – or close to it – and perhaps it will speak to society passengers, and to those who miss the Surface. |
