<h1>STORY HOOKS</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When bringing Golden City into play, the GM may use the following points
|
||
to enrich the story by introducing artifacts, Villains, discoveries, and
|
||
rewards.
|
||

||

<h2>The Celestial Gardens</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
These magnificent vertical gardens climb up into the sky. Vibrant and
|
||
gargantuan flowers of unusual colors, meandering vines, and other plants
|
||
with incomprehensible genetics embellish streets and walls, but hidden
|
||
within are the sad truths of a lost civilization. There isn’t even a drop
|
||
of water.
|
||

|
||
>What is the secret of these plants’ vitality? Why does flora look so
|
||
different in this place?</strong

<h3>The Unliving</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
These mannequin-like creatures have been deprived of humanity. With
|
||
pale and expressionless features, they aimlessly wander through
|
||
streets and alleyways.
|
||
<strong
|
||
>Who are these creatures? For what purpose were they
|
||
created?</strong

|
||
<h3>A Cruel Experiment</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Forced to wander eternally, a hybrid similar to a shapeless chimera
|
||
slowly walks every path of the gardens. They have no defined shape,
|
||
looking more like a heterogeneous mass of animal limbs. Their eyes
|
||
look almost human and show sadness and resignation. If the PCs try to
|
||
speak to them, a human head and torso rise from beneath the skin. The
|
||
hybrid isn’t evil and fights only in self-defense (their attacks are
|
||
unpredictable and their Affinities change every turn).
|
||
<strong
|
||
>What is the true nature of this experiment? Which animals made up
|
||
their amorphous body?</strong
|
||

|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h3>A Harsh Reality</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Paintings and frescoes decorate the gardens’ inner walls. Studying
|
||
them for a while, Player Characters may discover a terrible truth
|
||
about this experimental greenhouse: it was the theater of macabre and
|
||
obsessive experimentation. Here, a now forgotten culture manipulated
|
||
life itself and molded nature and humanity according to a very
|
||
detailed plan.
|
||
<strong
|
||
>Who were they? What was their ultimate goal, and what interrupted
|
||
their plan? Which of campaign’s main antagonists made such an
|
||
obsession their own, to the point of trying to complete the work of
|
||
these merciless visionaries?</strong

<h2>Not All That Glitters Is Gold</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The glow of the Golden City shines beyond the clouds. Thousands of
|
||
luminous particles shimmer among the ruins, residuum of the essences that
|
||
have returned to the stream of souls. And yet, the heart of the city is
|
||
grim and dark. The secret of its civilization must remain buried and no
|
||
living being should ever set foot in the Golden City.
