Recall Earlier Generations

Halcyon City has had several generations of heroes. The city is built on the shoulders of those who came before—their triumphs, their mistakes, their successes, their failures. Many of those characters are still around in Halcyon City to this day. Current problems have their origins in the past, too, in the prior generations and their ﬂaws.

Never let the PCs forget that there were several other generations before them, that those characters shaped the world the PCs live in today, and that in many ways, those older generations are still in power. The PCs aren’t pioneers— they’re denizens of realms already explored and colonized.
