===Blazing Beacon===
The old walls have seen better days.  The gates were torn down for scrap half a century ago.  The old market quarter is a ghost town, home to vermin and rubble, but no trade.  The old Magistrate’s Residence, sitting on the shore of Waning Moon Lake, has been boarded up longer than anyone can remember, and anything valuable in there was stolen long ago.  The willow district, once the finest on the Path, is closed for business.  The stately homes of the Hill Song District are now ramshackle residences, three or four families per.  The oases that once made the town an agricultural miracle still support the few hundred souls that live here, but most of the fertile land lies untended.<br>

Of all the things that made Blazing Beacon great, only two are still standing: the great brass brazier on its stonework tower in the center of town, and the Emperor's Rest Teahouse.  The latter is — for now, anyway — the first and last choice in restaurants, teahouses, taverns and brothels.  It’s a makeshift town hall, to boot; it’s Duke Ko’s place, and when the Duke thinks there’s something the needs to be discussed, that’s where it gets discussed.<br>
*'''0 Bonus''': All characters begin with 1 Involvement in Blazing Beacon.
*'''1+ Involvement''': Perhaps you're here to make a name for yourself, or to see civilization returned, or propriety restored, or what have you. You're in the mix in the soon-to-be-booming town.
**'''1-2 Status''': You’ve already made a name for yourself in town; have you done a good deed for the people, are you a friend of Duke Ko’s? If you’re new in town, how have you gotten such notice so quickly?
*'''2 Destiny''': Duke Ko has, by hook and by crook, kept this town alive through the lean years, and he’s bound and determined to keep his position in the town. Whether a local or a newcomer, your destiny is intertwined with his.
*'''2 Fortune''': Though still a small town, already a trickle of refugees from the east arrive, and soon the trickle will become a flood. Once per story, declare any newcomer to the town to be someone you know from 'back east'.
