The lobstermen gave you a word. A secret one, they say. You will know with whom to share it, but only when it is time, and not upon the waters of the world.

Under the vines, Illa Secunda is littered with barrows. Within them: Withered bodies. Masks of eyeless steel.

Hey, so Incunabuli is an insanely cool RPG setting, and I feel like it doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves. I mean, it is full of ideas that just set my brain ON FIRE. Great short fiction, too! For real: Check it out, hit the lore link, and just get obsessed. incunabuli.com

Illa Secunda is known for its crab fishing. Giant crabs caught on tiny boats by drunks with nets and spears. A national sport. A terrible fatality rate.

A pat of butter on your stoop.
A thimbleful of génépy on your sill.
A wreath of hollyhock on your door.
A horseshoe nailed above your bed.
Accords and boundaries made with invisible friends.

If in the cool night you spot an ælf and the ælf doesn't spot you; take great care. They are cruelly dangerous when surprised.

I did run a oneshot with white apes underground, but I don’t recall publishing it, I don’t know where the original notes went, and I don’t know how you know.

Are you me from an alternate timeline?
