The patrons, hello. Casual visitors, greetings to you, too. As you may have heard or seen, patreon has decided to change their revenue structure, impacting me and you with larger fees. This is not something that makes me very jolly, but for now, I don't have a solution yet. However, I'm open to ideas and solutions and revolutions. Now, back to the semi-scheduled mini-update.

A few weeks ago Andrew Downs pleasantly surprised me with a very nice email about his gaming group's adventures in the UVG, and with tales of a small town he invented for them. After a bit of back and forth, I've decided to add the small town of Cerulean Five Oasis onto a side branch of the Low Road and the High, as a place a group of heroes could call home - if they so wished.

Here it is, along with a few PCs, a few watering holes, and a few hooks. It's a bit different from Andrew's, but he said, "do what thou wilt," so I didst. Without further ado: Oasis.

---///---

Cerulean Five is a thriving stop, just a day’s trudge south of the Low Road and the High. Dusters, cutters, mercos and merchos rest in the oasis en route to the Plantation of the Porcupines, south of the Plasteel Slag. Dilettantes and aristos often go out of their way just to visit the fabled Sky Well.

Ah, the Sky Well, the heart of Cerulean Five. It pulls water from the very air itself, a network of condensers tunneled into the petrified hulk of a gigantic cactacean landcoral and powered by the grumbling crystal machine, Bessergott VI, that pulls energy from the fast stars as they flitter overhead. St. Wavy, grizzled veteran of some Limbo War, tends to Bessergott and keeps the waters flowing.

Five ancient fountains of porphyr and red coral burble with the cerulean-tinged water of the Sky Well and a ring-worked fortified encampment of dead landcoral slabs has over time grown into a small safehold against the mind-blasting hardships of the steppe trails.

A little map will make it into the month's update.

Amazing! You have a curious mind and an acrobatic imagination, my friend. I love it! I'm honored to be a part of this, and happy to support you, fees be damned.

Thank you Andrew! With the fees, I think my patreon is comparatively less affected, because I manage just one update a month, and that is one is comparatively longer, compared to some other patreons that just do individual art pieces or maps. I've got some ideas about how this will spin out going forward, but I still have to figure out the right format for the stories I want to tell.

Methinks I'll use the Grasslands as an alternate plane that can only be accessed when in the death-like slumber of crimson nightmare brought on by the use of Black Lotus dust (Stygian, the best!). Stay groovy.
