I greatly appreciate this. I thought a lot about how to get the bare playable essence of Ellucid across in just one page. I've been reading The Valley of Flowers lately and find their parenthetical duos/trios of NPC adjectives do a lot of heavy lifting for minor characters. I realized that the hooks, rumours, and encounters are doing a big part of subtly establishing the flavour of the city too.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read it.
Beware the Knacker sign indeed, friend! I got an audible "eww" from my wife reading the phrase "pulped herd of barrow pigs" so I know I did something right there ;)
