The Opening

“Please, help us! Our house is eating our shoes and my bed is underwater already! Nobody in the village listens, but the mud is hungrier today than it was yesterday!”

— Hook · Diplomatic

Set the Scene

The party is walking through the central square of Lowater, where the stench of stagnant water is thick and the wooden walkways groan. Three small children, caked in drying grey mud, run up to intercept the party, tears streaking their dirty faces.

Milo and Pip Lowater

The children are desperate and grab at the characters' gear, pointing toward a thatch-roofed hut that is currently tilted at a forty-five-degree angle into a slurry of thick silt.

Stakes

If the water isn't diverted back, Lowater will be entirely reclaimed by the marsh, leaving hundreds of villagers homeless and vulnerable to predators.

Ticking Clock·Every six hours, another building collapses. After three days, the village center will be submerged.

Background Lore

Lowater was built on a stable delta, but recent geological shifts or interference have turned the earth into a non-Newtonian fluid. The village leadership is paralyzed by indecision, believing the flooding is a divine curse rather than a physical problem.

What the World Knows

The village of Lowater is sinking due to an unprecedented surge in silt levels from the Upriver Run, threatening to submerge every home within a week.
