People of the Moon

4.6(221)

The Chacoan rulers have conquered the First Moon People and built a great house above their communities, enforcing tribute through warriors commanded by Leather Hand. A prophecy from Cold Bringing Woman draws Ripple, Wrapped Wrist, Spots and Bad Cast into a rebellion against a system sustained by fear and sacred authority.

Leather Hand answers resistance with a campaign of terror, while the rebels seek allies among traders, warriors and the enigmatic Nightshade. Their struggle converges at Chimney Rock during a major lunar standstill, where political revolt and ceremony threaten to bring an imperial frontier down in fire.
