"Curtain Call" Tickets on Sale Now!

The locals are whispering about something in the lake. Its quiet beauty has been interrupted by loud rumblings; mysterious ripples have been disturbing its calm surface. There is something happening below. Join us at The Pike on Sept 18-20th to see what secrets the lake is hiding, and what (or who?) will emerge from its depths.

Other postings pepper the board in preparation of the night market.

"Let our brews light you way to a healthier life," advertises the Umbra Lunae Medicinals.

Another calls to all who look to the Cult of the Fallow Hopes in Claimer's Quarry.

A business card can easily be seen posted up or pinned near Local Businesses, Rest Stops, and Waystations outside of Claimers Quarry.

"Fortuna Opportunities

Imports, Exports,
Shipping and Receiving

Written on the back of the card are the words:

The locals, be they Port Barreners above or Last Eve below, or those heading back from the Quarry, note a new sign with a new name hammered into the ground. There's many night market postings all around town. Despite the horrors of the wasteland, ever-present, there's talk of who's doing what, when, and how, and quiet festival excitement builds.
