From the desk of Melody Rice, Reporting from Crooked Mile

MRice Log Date 1907
Melody Rice is a Crooked Mile local, who takes her reporting position seriously. If her reviews do not appeal to readers, she asks they contact her supervisor at the Gazette News, a flighty gentleman who doesn't take her seriously. It is likely her supervisor won't bother to discuss concerns and complaints with Melody. Nothing he says seems to go through her ear and out the other. Neither does his admonition take residence inside her brain matter.

The Crooked Mile Chapter House was founded by Jason Garamund in 1892, six years before the six years’ war. Because Crooked Mile was a rural area barely known by Otherwhere, the few farmers and explorers who lived there suffered less than its neighbor west of the Bridleborne Mountains. For years, a steam train shipped only coal through the tunnel (no people).
Neither did the Bulkhead shipyard did not yet exist. Smugglers used a village small port. Jason ran a small bootlegging business with his brother Lenny while they were in college. Jason rationalized his venture. It was a family emergency when their Seasway Hotel lost tourist and vacationers to the ravages of war. By the end of the war, it fell to ruins. The Scarlet proceeds kept his family from starving to death.
The downside is that friends of criminals are not trustworthy or moral. Amorality, along with the thinning in the flare, resulted in an urgent reason for starting a Candela Obscura Circle with neighbors he could trust. Trusting any Garamund was a matter of accepting his predilection to compartmentalize. His fuzzy truth confused the empathetic and noble residents of Crooked Mile.
