A Meeting at Corvallis

In the 10th year after the Change, survivors in western Oregon navigate a world devoid of technology, with the city-state of Corvallis thriving under Michael Havel's leadership and trade flourishing via riverboats and horse-drawn railways. The Clan Mackenzie, led by the charismatic Juniper Mackenzie, stands as a formidable force against the warlord Norman Arminger of Portland, who aims to establish a neofeudal empire. As tensions escalate, Arminger’s daughter is taken captive by Clan Mackenzie, prompting Lady Sandra, Arminger's cunning consort, to devise a perilous plan that could ignite open warfare across the region.
