Keosz
Keosz is a humble trading post, populated by pilgrims who left populous cities to establish a communitarian utopian movement, without hierarchy, traditions, religion, or laws. Visitors are welcomed, and those passing through will be able to purchase basic supplies. Many of the pilgrims are artisans and also offer unique items.
What about the pilgrims?
- They throw their dead into a nearby well.
- They are fanatics. The colony has collapsed into severe dysfunction.
- Many of them are twins.
- They worship a majestic stone egg and pray it will hatch and transform the world.
- They can smell heartbreak on someone’s breath at 6 ft distance.
