Fortitude: the Glass-Maker's Dragon
Once upon a time, a witch and a glass-maker made a dragon out of glass and taught it to hate the world. It raged and it would have destroyed everything; only, it shattered, instead.
Maybe it found some reason to love the world.
Maybe their hearts weren't really in it — not the glass-maker’s, not the witch’s.
Maybe it was just that the dragon was made of glass.
— Fortitude: the Glass-Maker’s Dragon,
a campaign for Chuubo’s Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine
Fortitude: By the Docks of Big Lake
The setting of the campaign is Fortitude. It's a quiet place, a peaceful place. Even a little boring. The following things are true here:
- Things must have simplicity.
- Things can't move quickly.
- Work must be fruitful.
- People must remember where they come from.
- You have a home in Fortitude.
These count as level 2 Bonds, for all who care to invoke them.
This campaign has the following conventions, counting as level 2 Afflictions:
- Masks are extremely effective disguises.
- Turning into a giant snake will not help.
- Your life will grow stagnant unless you reach for your dreams.
It is in service to that last convention that birthdays only come to those who earn them as a quest reward.
