A couple of days ago, the Westbreaker pulled into Stageport, and now it is time to pull away again. Such is the way of things. It's time to bid farewell to friends new and old, and take to the sea once more. Farewell, Stageport!

Five years ago, two men came to a small, secluded spot in an abandoned part of Stageport. One, a stranger, had only the clothes on his back. The other, a local, only the urn he rested in. The two were not alone, however; a young woman who had taken it upon herself to protect this part of the town stumbled upon them and watched as the man in the urn was returned to the house he lived in so very long ago.

To this day, the woman still doesn't know why, but she struck up a conversation with the stranger, and the two have been fast friends ever since.

The defeat of the Glacier Legion was absolute and devastating, but we’re not here to talk about that right now. A year after the defeat, two men met in an art gallery, one trying to avoid talking to an old subordinate, and one hoping to find someone to talk to about the beauty in the world. And they did talk. They talked all day. When they parted, they arranged to meet again.

And no matter how far apart they found themselves over the following years, they talked. They sent letters, they sent messages. Letters about art, about beauty, about travel. Letters about – and they both found this very funny – meeting new friends.

Most importantly, they argued over when they would find themselves parted for the last time.

History is soft. It doesn't take much to leave a deep mark; sometimes these marks come about my sheer chance.

One hundred twelve years ago, a predator walked the streets of Stageport. A human predator: the worst kind. Their mark was left, not by their own deeds, thoughts, or feelings, but by the scars they left on others. Those scars, given time, took form.

Now, they seek to inflict similar scars on history, and will leave a deeper mark unless brought to an end.

Five years ago, the Glacier Legion was shattered. The survivors, left directionless in the wastes, were faced with a sort of terrifying freedom; the burden of choosing for themselves what comes next.

Their god said little to help.

Some joined other legions, choosing to continue the fight for the North. At least one gave up, and went in search of a new front line to preserve.

Five years ago, the Glacier Legion was defeated, its remnants scattered, and found new lives for themselves. Eight years ago, the merchantman Red Lotus put in at Stageport, and left a few crew members lighter. Two years ago, there was a fateful meeting at an art gallery, not far from the docks.

Now, because of all of this, Stageport has the Albatross Legion. Their wingspan isn't very broad, and they're not really even much of a legion, but they're the Albatross Legion, nonetheless. Welcome to Sword of Symphonies.

One hundred years ago, the Cloudcomb Mountains crumbled to mud, flooding the interior of Amylte with earth, and burying most signs of human occupation under the Goathome Veldt. They buried the battlefields of the Last War, yes, and the Old Capital too, but also countless farming villages, small towns, and homesteads.The flood stopped short of a ring of cliffs they call Miracle Bluffs today, held back from swallowing the seaside trading city of Stageport.

Now, with the Old Capital dead and buried, Stageport is Amylte's greatest city, depending of course on how one measures greatness.Today, the crew of the Westbreaker puts ashore in this ancient city to see its greatness, or, what passes for greatness, for themselves.
