The Coalition is a loose confederate of interest groups that meet to discuss issues at hand between a group of representatives and then send them back to relay the information to their communities, collect a vote on the issue, and report it back. They would like us to join them as an interest group, which would entail sending a representative or representatives over to the Second at least every season to take notes and bring back information about the current issues, arrange a vote here, and send the result back via relay. To test this theory, we are holding a vote about joining the Coalition! A ballot box will be available for the remainder of the season and into the start of summer (with collection by Summer 10 at the latest) for a yes or no vote to joining the Coalition. The results will be tallied and the decision relayed back; if the decision is yes and you wish to help act as representative, please add your name to the book beside the ballot box!
-----
Vote here as to whether or not Town should join the Coalition. Feel free to volunteer yourself to go take notes as well! (Note: this position has no decision making power, it is solely to take notes and bring back information on issues in groups of 2-3.)
Voting will end on February 9.
The Lore Mini-Thread
A holding area for lore that I haven't/won't write a full page about; things mentioned in passing.
| Knowledge Classification | Example | |
| 0 | Any Tom, Dick, or Joe off the street could tell you about this. | A bear could kill you. (Also, bears exist.) |
| 1 | If you've been outside of your hometown or to a major city, or if you're moderately literate, you know about this. | Shakespeare was a famous English author. |
| 2 | Pretty much any adventurer or worldly type would know this. | Lord Byron was a famous English author. |
| 3 | This isn't really everyday knowledge, but it's certainly not impossible to have stumbled upon | Knowing about a culture that is not your own (or a global powerhouse) |
| 4 | If you know this, you've almost certainly studied it specifically or had direct personal experience | Knowing about a specific time period in the history of a culture that is not your own (or a global powerhouse) |
| 5 | Highly specialized knowledge. This is something you have dedicated yourself to studying in order to know offhand. | This XKCD comic about how many chemical formulas for rocks people know. |
| 6 | Meta knowledge only. There is no reasonable way to know this in-universe. | If I knew any actual examples of level 6 knowledge, it wouldn't be level 6 knowledge anymore. |
Sherwood Stones ༓ 1
The world's most famous fictional detective, a series of short stories and novels about Stones and his sidekick Jack Batson solving crimes continued to be published--even several years past the start of the Freeze.
Shotgun Caiside and Jesse the Kid ༓ 2
A radio-relay serial about the notorious adventures (based on a true story!) of "Shotgun" Caiside Eden and his companion Jesse the Kid, a pair of rough-and-tumble vigilante lawmen out in the Wastes.
The Wastes ༓ 3
A few centuries ago, the Wastes were a burgeoning kingdom and a center of magical research. Did someone dig too deep, or did their expansion start to anger their neighbors? Whatever the reason, the Wastes, located beyond a mountain range to the northwest of the Galadorian Empire, became a badlands of strange creatures and magical radiation, occupied by the kind of people who couldn't find another place in society--or who didn't want to.
Martinez ༓ 4: The only city left on the outskirts of the Wastes, located near the most easily-traversed mountain pass between the Empire and the Wastes. Even the rich of Martinez are a little unusual by most standards, and a relatively large portion of the population consists of the allies and members of the Cloud Collective (5), a loose arrangement of anarchists and communal living co-ops. The best reputation Martinez has is as a perpetual safe haven for strays and the unwanted; a large number of orphans from nearby Empire towns and villages unable to care for them end up in Martinez, taken in by a web of adults raising children as a village.
The Stations ༓ 4: Out in the Wastes themselves, former towns and cities occupied by groups of homesteaders and political outsiders never exceeding the double-digits forms the Relay Network. Martinez fields and forwards Empire relay signals, and the clocktowers serving as stations are often the only point of contact that you can count on if you've chosen to set up a life out there.
The Radio Relay Broadcast Network ༓ 1
A piece of Galadorian empire infrastructure that functions as a radio off a modified version of Message. Some information:
1: The relay spans most of Galador and often past it, as free cities and city-states adopt the infrastructure to communicate with each other. A relay broadcasts almost always out of a clocktower; you can tune into a station with a specially created clock.
2: The relay works off of sigils carved into the gears of clockwork items. Technically it wouldn't have to be a clock. That's just kind of a cultural institution. You can broadcast to people directly with a radio relay the same way you might use Sending or Message, with the relay's range providing the range for the spell.
3: --
4: Private relays can be created, and the most secure method of making one is to pair a sigil in the receiving mechanism of the clock or watch with a sigil tattooed onto the body of the broadcaster. This effectively makes a network only accessible by those allowed in--or those who steal a calibrated clock.

Our Lady of the Crossroads ༓ 3
