Gate Traffic

Musto depends on the knowledge it can retain, retrain, or that comes through the Arrival Gate. If everyone who knows how to build structures higher than two stories dies, all buildings are capped at two stories until that knowledge can be relearned. Arrival Gate intake includes an extensive talent questionnaire so the Criers can determine if someone needs to be “fast-tracked” out of isolation. 

There is no pattern for when people will arrive through the gate. There are stories of no one coming out for years. These “downtimes” are used to advance arcane technology and significantly improve the world.

People can arrive in various configurations. Some show up alone, some in groups. Some groups have people from the same area or planet, and some have people from different planets. Time and space seem to have no governance over where or when people appear in the cave system. Once, a man’s missing grandfather arrived the day after he did. His grandfather was the age he was when he went missing, not the age he should have been in relation to his grandson's age.

PLAY VARIATION - Your group arrives in Musto after a long spell of no new arrivals. The Ruins of Refuge have not been occupied in years.
