Amberwick

Tucked into the glowing bones of a fractured canyon, Amberwick is the sanctuary nobody knew they needed until it grew in them like the bioluminescent fungus on the walls. Those cast out of the Dusk Continent gathered here, devoted to the very curiosity and community the Dusk tried to kill in them. They became alchemists, scientists, keepers of old secrets and breathers of new life.
These people are rebels, in the purest sense, rejecting the very idea of them not being born "Correctly". Chosen families are built between former strangers, and whole streets carry the quiet intimacy of people who have rebuilt themselves from the shards of loss. Very few here are related by blood, but that matters very little.

Beep changed things. The citizens called her to calm the core that powered their civilization, but instead she awakened it. Due to her proximity, things only seemed to get worse. After removing Beep from the city, the core calmed slightly, but the city still felt it. The magic was fractured, destabilized, and every system they relied on became unstable. Beep's arrival had threatened to destroy their entire way of life, or so it seemed, but the Guild opened communication one more time. The Guildmaster argued that the fact that she had been called at all was proof enough that she was not solely to blame. Amberwick's elders agreed, and allowed us to help. Our adventurers found the core to be a hatching egg, proving that Beep's presence had quickened a process that had already begun.

The Guild and Elders agreed that the guild should remove the egg and replace its function with a far less volatile power source, but there are those within these canyons that say they miss the "Heartbeat" that once flickered through these streets, and those who blame the Guild, still, for its removal.
