Major deviations From canon as described in the Scavenger Lands sourcebook:

• The local dialect of Great Forks has a lot of prayer 'built in'. People habitually speak in flowery, 'prayerful' language.

Status

• ECONOMY: -
  • The economic collapse of the east has caused the demand for slaves to diminish significantly
  • The economic collapse of the east has caused the supply of slaves to increase greatly.
  • The economic collapse of the east has caused demand for medicines to decrease significantly
  • The economic collapse of the east has caused supply of medicines to increase greatly due to lack of export.
  • The impact of this upon the economy of Great Forks is significant; these industries provided for a large amount of economic activity
  • Orduin of the Tools has assisted Philokrates in creating a self-contained Prosperity-Enhancing Trade pattern amongst the refugee populations.
  • Philokrates funded a wholesale renovation of the slave barracks on public funds, putting the treasury deep in the red, and under extremely dubious authority.
• QUALITY OF LIFE: +
  • The influence of divine entities and Exalted have made life in Great Forks significantly better than many other locales currently
  • The percieved quality of life that Great Forks citizens enjoy has created a flood of refugees that can exceed thousands in a week
  • The reality of the situation for the refugees is that they do not, in fact, enjoy the Great Forks standard of living and have formed an 'underclass'
• GOVERNMENT:
  • Solar Exalted are involved at high levels of government with undefined power and limitations
  • Some of these Exalted have killed corrupt divinities that displeased them, or, mortal bandit lords.
  • Due to the activites of the Exalted, banditry is still rampant but subdued to an extent from what it would otherwise be.
  • While a majority would maintain these Exalted are 'sane', many remain concerned that they are unstable.
  • Philokrates commanded a wholesale renovation of the slave barracks on public funds, putting the treasury deep in the red, and under extremely dubious authority.

Current Issues

• The Three embracing Solar Exalted as agents or peers; is this wisdom, or is it folly? Will they go mad?
• Do we 'close the gates', turning away further refugees or killing them outright?
• Major slavers owe outstanding debts to large mercenary companies based upon purchases of large numbers of slaves at obsolete rates.
• Walker and Darkness has refused to engage in diplomatic discourse, though he has stopped short of belligerence.
