The House of Rods and Chains
he House of Rods and Chains; a ruined palace atop a rotting Messenger. Now home to uninvited guests of a rubbery persuasion
You near the House of Rods and Chains, a ruined complex atop a great dead beast. Once it was the favourite Messenger of the sun. Before it disobeyed.
The Repentant Devil examines the House of Rods and Chains from the window. "A reminder of how the Judgements treat those who defy them."
Your Aunt is lost in thought. "Hm? Oh, sorry. It reminds me of old London, and the Echo Bazaar."
The House of Rods and Chains
The House of Rods and Chains is what has become of the Echo Bazaarin Sunless Skies. It is home to Rubbery men, and one remaining Master.
What Happened to the Echo Bazaar?
In the Sunless Skies Timeline, The Echo Bazaar has been destroyed for Disobeying the Judgements. It is implied that it failed to deliver the message to the sun, and was killed for it, probably by the halved.
Notes
- It is not outright said the this port is the Bazaar. However, it can be assumed for a few reasons.
- The Rubbery Men inside carry copies of the Gazette, meaning they either brought them there, or they were there in the first place.
- The Port is refered to as "the favourite Messenger of the sun" As the Bazaar was.
- The President of the Royal Society in Albion, is particularally interested in this port.
- The Doors, and names of the Masters, have changed. (Leather, Rubber, Chitin, Scale, Fur, Flesh and Feather For the House; Ormolu, Teeth, Copper, Glass, Ivory, Paper, Steel. For the Echo Bazaar) It is said that the Masters change their names over time, and with new cities, so perhaps this occured at some point in the timeline. Or this could be evidence that the House of Rods and Chains is not the Echo Bazaar.
