The Walled Town of Gabled Green

The lonely silhouette of iron and wire that is a Lightning Caller is a familiar sight across Corrhéo. These towering monoliths of industry stand on grassy hilltops, along the quays of the wetlands, and atop mountainous peaks and ridges, reaching into the skies to harvest the power of storms. Yet, someone has found another use for these platforms.   Deeper: On cloudless nights, when the wind is still and the world glows under starlight, lightning moths swarm skyward to invisible corridors in the atmosphere. Their dust clouds glow with trailing arcs of lightning, tearing through the night sky like rivers of burning light, with the sharp scent of scorched ozone always near. In the moments of stillness between thunderclaps and crackling strikes, a voice like a tin snare echoes, uttering heresies and blasphemies.   The walled town of Gabled Green, founded on a gently sloped plateau on Mt. Jarlval's north face, is no stranger to the phenomenon brought by the lightning moth swarms on windless, rainless nights [1:10, Broadcast].   During such times, a voice resonates from within dark, hollowed vessels, filtering the sound as if heard through a long metal pipe. It speaks of dreadful portents, divinations and prophecies, but what is more unsettling is that, if a listener speaks a reply the message is sometimes heard—and answered.   D10 Broadcast
