Dates are counted from the party’s arrival at Godshome, Day 1, a Saturday. No in-world year or month has been set yet.
| Event | Date | Current Day | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arrived at Godshome | Day 1 (Saturday) | No | The Indomitable moored at the ivory towers below the Divine Mountain. The party climbed the stair, met the goblin guide, Thalan floored the priest of Gruumsh, and the Baronet Sorrel hired them to recover a relic from the Valley of Lost Bearings, to be back in three weeks. They spent the afternoon stocking up for the desert. |
| Gruumsh finds them | Day 2 (Sunday) | No | At midday, on the way to the airfield, the orc priest and his berserkers cornered the party in a dead-end alley. Korath became a clockwork sabre-tooth; Elunia’s darkness ended it. |
| Flight to Bitter End | Day 2 (Sunday) | No | Ouroboros Airways flew them out over the desert in the evening, six hours to Bitter End. A night on the floor of the Stewpot, and drugged people found sealed in crates in a warehouse. |
| Into the Valley of Lost Bearings | Day 3 (Monday) | No | The march began. Past the warning sign, the hooded procession crossed their path, and Elunia found a hidden camp in a hollow between the dunes. The girl Sandy rescued from the Baronet’s house turns a year older today. |
| Toward the sunrise | Day 4 (Tuesday) | No | The sun came up in the wrong place. Lucia pointed out that the verse says dawn, not east, and they walked into the sunrise through a freezing rain. Three legs to the dawn were done by evening; camp in a downpour. |
| The lost things | Day 5 (Wednesday) | No | Frogs everywhere the rain had fallen. The first leg toward the star, through floating rocks and blue cracks, and a valley floor scattered with lost belongings. Lucia found a tool from her own workshop. |
| Camp on the salt pan | Day 6 (Thursday) | No | The star hung in the daytime sky to the west. The second leg toward it, and a camp in the open on a salt pan, with a barrel of water Korath dug out of the salt. |
| Thalan returns | Day 7 (Friday) | No | Korath’s and Varys’s tents were gone at dawn, and Thalan walked in out of the desert. The first leg toward the dusk; glass spiders at noon; spider fricassee in a camp among the rocks. |
| The worm and the Black Queen’s soldiers | Day 8 (Saturday) | Yes | The sun rose in the east for the first time in days. The memory of the sea rolled down a wadi, the purple worm rose, and soldiers of the Black Queen pulled the party onto their rock, then crumbled to sand. One leg to the dusk remains. |
| The Baronet’s deadline | Day 22 (Saturday) | No | Three weeks after the commission. If the party hasn’t returned, the Baronet sends the next team. |
