Setting

[12:24 AM] Zuhayr: my pitch is an island city around a keep with supernaturally bad tides restricting passage to a periodic ferry
[12:25 AM] Zuhayr: the keep being built on the bones of a sprawling elder horror crypt

[12:31 AM] Techhead: No, I was thinking more like a sacred light keeping dark mists at bay.
[12:32 AM] Techhead: I like the symbolism of a lighthouse.
[12:33 AM] Techhead: I think I was more influenced by "The Watcher of Yaathagggu"
[12:37 AM] Techhead: I found this image on google, though...
