The Binding

Typically you set The Binding about a year before your story picks up. You want time to explain how your formerly loner-demigods developed interesting Tangles now that they can work together.

Go through these questions and fill in the blanks. You don’t need to play out the whole scene, you’re just narrating what happened last year. Try to make sure everyone at the table gets a chance to contribute to these answers.

There’s space on the Herald sheet to jot down the answers to these questions:


 * Your Spindle was facing a supernatural disaster (a monster, an evil demigod, etc) but we saved it. What did we save it from?
 * There was substantial collateral damage. What was destroyed, and how did we make it look less supernatural in nature?
 * We earned the favor of a major divine being. Who was it, and why did they want to save The Spindle?
 * We angered a different divine being. Who was it, and what did they have against The Spindle? Why was our Spindle targeted for this?
