INTRODUCTION
It is not to be done. The seepage has
rotted out the curtain. The mesh
is decayed. Loosen the flesh
from the machine, build no more
bridges. Through what air will you
fly to span the continents? Let the words
fall any way at all—that they may
hit love aslant. It will be a rare
visitation. They want to rescue too much,
the flood has done its work.
—William Carlos Williams, “Paterson”
Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.
—Arthur C Clarke
Hidden away in the folds of Elsewhere, Autochthonia
is both a world and the living flesh of a Primordial. Mil-
lions of humans and spirits live in this vast tabernacle
of brass, steam and industry, but their world is failing.
Autochthon is sick, and the vast bellows and engines that
are his heart fall silent one by one. The Autochthonians
and their mighty champions, the Alchemical Exalted,
formulate desperate stratagems to save their world, even
as they turn on one another for the precious resources to
survive one more day.
