![]() The former were trapped in amber during the Verdancy, only now waking up to a world irrevocably changed. Most of the origins are simply kinds of settlements your character might come from, but they start off, in alphabetical order, with amberclad and anchored. Cactus people, mushroom people, swarms of spiders in human-shaped hives (my favourite), animated detritus, mutated jellyfish people with replaceable bones, and moth people that pupate and get reborn every twenty years. ![]() While humans (“ardents”) are present, the rest of the bloodlines get weird – the promised influence of Bas-Lag books. Each character is defined by three major elements: their bloodline, origin, and post. That’s what your characters will be: wildsailors with their own ship, sailing the wildsea in search of glory, adventure, or maybe new culinary experiences. With trees as the sea and survivor settlements as islands, ships capable of traversing between them were inevitable. All that survived found themselves sheltering on broken bits of the old world carried upwards by the massive branches, or trapped atop of mountains or otherwise isolated from one another. Living within the tangle of the trees wasn’t really an option: not only is everything ever-growing, not only are many animals and insects also of immense size now, but the trees themselves are full of highly mutagenic and acidic sap likely to blame for all the growth.
