Pan

The sound of far-off pipes. You near Pan, the unruly heart of Eleutheria.

You approach Pan. Pan of the crimson mysteries. Pan of the pipe-haunted groves. Pan: the dusky, delirious, divided heart of Eleutheria.

Pan is a settlement at the center of Eleutheria. It's a bastion of criminals and outcasts, where the thieves, smugglers, murderers, and rebels of the High Wilderness reside.

The "ruler" of Pan is the Cypress King, whose only purpose is to break up disagreements between factions during the Hour of Argument. The position of the Cypress King can be challenged during the Hour of Thorns. Because of this, the occupant of the position changes constantly. As of 1906, its current occupant is none other than January, of London's Calendar Council.

Sub-Factions

• The Brazen Brigade, devils and non-devils that venerate the saints of Hell. They aspire to replace the Judgements as the rulers of the heavens.
• The Calendar Council, revolutionaries from Old London who have founded a new base of operations here known as Winter's Reside.
• The Heart-Catchers, plants whose fruit look like human heads. They can apparently capture deaths; this strange concept would be a means of averting one's own manner of death and shoving it on some other poor unfortunate soul.
• The Neonocturnals, a new artistic movement spearheaded by the Masked Citizen. They moderate the forum of Pan during the Hour of Argument.
• The Gentlemen, a coalition of experienced smugglers. They mainly smuggle Starshine, water combed from the pools of Eleutheria by star-rakers. The water is laced with starlight and induces nostalgia for Earth.
