Heron
A humble and flat place for people to reside in. It has weak walls that surround it — good for keeping out the smaller beasts here and there, but it is, after all, a canton on the edge.
Overview
Heron is an outer-ring canton of Caligo, neighboring Wickward across a stretch of wasteland road. It is unremarkable architecturally — no great spires, no fortifications worth speaking of, walls so dry-rotted in places that they are the visage of a wall rather than a working defense. Most people in Heron are farmers, tradesmen, or laborers.
The garrison at the gate, unlike Wickward's, has been alert as of Session 01. The party did not test them.
What's Here
| Place | Notes |
|---|---|
| Orvin's Repair Shop | Run by Orvin. Front is a working repair shop. Back is a Resistance safehouse built with magic-suppressing materials. As of session end, Maret and Sable shelter here. |
| The Outer Walls | Weak. Dry-rotted in places. Several gaps through which a determined party could pass. The party crossed via Jorath's enlarged form in Session 01. |
Sessions Set Here
- Session 01 — Final destination of the smuggling job. Orvin received Maret and Sable. The Inquisition arrived for canton quarantine immediately after.
Atmosphere
Quiet. Working. Rainy. The kind of canton no one would write home about — which is, of course, exactly why the Inquisition might choose it for what they are about to do.
Status
As of session end: under canton quarantine. Inquisition columns have entered from every approach. Barriers and chains are being set up. The canton may no longer officially be a canton by morning.
The party is inside it.
