Description summary:
The success description varies by .
Object | Description |
---|---|
100 - 130, 220 - 240, 300 - 320, 500 | The First City's fall defines every subsequent event in the history of the Neath. It is the moment of transition from a world of shadows and beasts to a world of men; that is to say, the boundary between pre-history and History. |
210 | Did the First City war against Hell? Is every Fallen city doomed to the same fate? Surely they would have been even more outmatched than London. Which begs the question: Could a Sixth City win the battle, if and when they fight it? […] An Eighth? |
400 | A myth about Nicator's life claims that he once sacked the First City, and brought back from it a collection of 77 jade statues, each one a life-sized depiction of a twelve-foot tall warrior. |
