Fresh Despatch
Two parcels this cycle, arriving from opposite ends of the map — one damp with sewer water, one smelling of woodsmoke and paper. The Keeper has shelved them apart and recommends them in either order.
Newly arrived:
- A Normal Guy Plays Dark Souls - Part 4 - The Depths and the Gaping Dragon — a channeler dies quietly so that something very large can die slowly.
- Tower of Elmarsh - A Paupers’ Ladder Adventure Game — an open world in three paperbacks, and a game that remembers what you did.
From the deeper stacks — the same world, earlier excavations:
- A Look at Moon Towers, an Expansion for Paupers’ Ladder — where the bone-white towers first rose, the nobles being too busy to attend to them.
- The Crows of Coppershell Bay - A Tiny Tin Tale (review) — the small tin dungeons that Elmarsh’s mini-maps are measured against.
- Pauper’s Ladder - a perfect level of abundance (a comprehensive overview) — the entire ecosystem in one sitting, for those arriving late to the ladder.
Planned excavations resume next cycle.

– The Keeper
Observes that one parcel descends to reach its monster and the other climbs, and finds it instructive that both journeys conclude in demolition.
