Looking down from on high, one can be forgiven for thinking the mountains and rivers, canyons and seas are simple and trivial things. One can forget how easy it is for such things to turn on those on the ground, who rely on their unchanging nature.

Two suns. One moon. They all fight to exert their will over the planets that circle them. Vast, unknowable beings with wills as unchangeable as they are egocentric.

After all, of what value is a single ant to the stag that walks upon it, never knowing of the small life that just ended? Exactly none. Unless you are the ant.

In the distance a mountain range rises to tower above the horizon, The peaks tear at the clouds like the teeth of a giant beast.

So many dangers are represented in a mountain. The cold and exposure of the highest climes. The dark pressure of the warrens beneath. Or, the fiery destruction that waits within, slumbering.

People put far too much stock in the sheer numbers of an army. One million men can march, but without training, confidence, will, equipment and leadership they may fall to the swords of a few good men with the will to die for their cause. Those with the will to win can always defeat those fight for mere coin.

There is almost no item of greater potential and power, magically speaking, than an egg. This one, small, innocuous little container filled with life, energy, transformation, spirit, potential and change. Such things are magic in it’s most natural form.

And it doesn’t hurt that it is neatly packaged for transport.

Stained glass is, in itself, a story. Thousand of tiny gemstone-coloured shards each with their own history and personality. They join together and create vast and imposing monoliths of meaning and significance.

Is it any surprise then that some of these stories will change and grow over time? What once was pure and holy, becoming jaded and angry when they do not receive the worship and attention they had become accustomed to. What then?

Few things cut as efficiently as glass.

Politics are a tricky thing. The rule of one is more efficient, but the rule of many is more peaceful.

But, a society must organise, and vote, and cooperate. And that is just not in society's nature. There will always be one, and from that one will sprout a faction. And from that faction - a movement.

Deep beneath the beautiful edifice of society, the anarchist plans.

The people here were welcoming and friendly, giving freely of both their time and food to these strangers. The women especially took a special interest in entertaining and feeding the newcomers.

After a week the strangers felt bloated and lethargic. After a month they were struggling to walk.

And still, the people fed them. And fed them.

An Island. Alone in the middle of an otherwise barren sea. The wind is caught underneath the vast ornamentation and domes of the great buildings that grace the small isle, creating eerie whistles during the day and at night - screams.

What mystery could this island hold? And what are your player willing to sacrifice to find out?

Everybody needs a friend. A trusted confidant, attache, and adviser who can be trusted to stay by you through your trials.

But, you know what they say, familiarity breeds contempt. And where contempt leads hatred can soon follow.
