Water: The Red River and Clear Water Aqueduct

The Red River


When the Tarrasque was first bound, a large, sweet stream -almost a river in its own right- ran nearby the fortress Salzinwuun. Along with several wells the watch drug, the denizens of the fortress and early binders felt that they would always be well supplied with ample water to sustain the men and animals.
The spreading of the Tarrasque’s essence into the stream, the soil, and the surrounding water tables proved this early optimism unfounded.

Salt in Wounds Patreon Campaign

I just launched the Salt in Wounds Patreon campaign, for anyone interested in financially supporting the development of Salt in Wounds. You can check out the campaign here.



If you're not familiar with Patreon, it's a crowdfunding service where you can become 'patrons' of artists and creators you like (like me, for instance). By giving at a certain dollar amount per month (or per article/creation for other creators) you can help a campaign/creator reach goals; putting out more content, putting out better content, or any number of things. (We've already reached the first goal for Salt in Wounds to become a weekly project for me.) Also, depending on your support level you get bonuses and special rewards. These rewards for Salt in Wounds include things like gaining access to my notes, playing in the 'canonical' master game, getting to vote on what part of Salt in Wounds I work on next, etc. and so on.



If you're interested in financially supporting my work, please pledge today! And even if you're not, if you could take a look at the campaign and message me any suggestions you might have about rewards, goals, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and thanks for being a fan of Salt in Wounds.

5th Meridian Binder-Lady Keolemita & her Consort Merrin Chyn

Kuolemita is a tall, middle aged, female human with onyx black skin. Whenever seen, the powerful aristocrat is dressed in incredible finery; always well-tailored and at the height of fashionability. As Binder-Lady & command word possessor of 5th House, Kuolemita is extremely politically powerful, with the influence and fortunes of her house only growing since the influx of numerous undead into the ranks of 5th. Kuolemita is viewed as being extremely shrewd, unfailingly polite, 'fair' enough although with a ruthlessness to be expected as one of Salt in Wound's oligarchs. However, most can only scratch their heads at her choice of husband.
Merrin Chyn is the non-aristocratic consort of Kuolemita. He is a male human of middling height with gray hair and tan skin. He can usually be found in soiled, ill-fitting clothing wherever drink is to be served, and whether he imbibes to excess in the seediest establishments amidst of Tail Stones or at lordly functions seems to make no difference to the man. Unlike Kuolemita, Merrin is viewed by the town as a drunken fool, infamous for his philandering ways.
