Perpetua 33: The Castle Eschatonica 01
Friends at the Table
The year is 397 BE—Before the End. And in the wide and colorful abyss known as the Dragon Path, fate spins two disparate threads together… This week on Perpetua: Castle Eschatonica 01 IRC Log started Dec 21 20:37 Channel: #perpetuaSpoilers 20:37 <Zelgadysk>: It’s not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums! 20:37 <FriendXofXNei>: It IS a big deal. I feel like I really F***d everything up with everyone relying on me and the faq. Plus, the same thing happened to me when I tried to do the Imago walkthrough at launch without knowing...

Fundraising for Immigrant Justice
Friends at the Table
On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we’re going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on to raise money for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! As Minnesota faces the brunt of a violent anti-immigrant crackdown, and ICE’s cruelty continues to spread nationwide, we are inspired by the solidarity, community, and mutual aid demonstrated by those on the front lines of immigration justice. The WFM’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief,...

Perpetua 32: A Picture of the Hills 05
Friends at the Table
Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town’s oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could’ve imagined.

This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death. A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks? Can it be reversed? And what might it mean for the Perpetuan Cycle… This week on Perpetua: A PIcture of the Hills 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] NPCs &...

Though the office of the Shining Star stands on the second of Spillaway Peaks’ three tiers, on a clear night, its rooftop beacon can be seen from miles away. This, Thelonious, the newspaper’s editor-in-chief says, is a recruitment strategy. Those who see the light and travel through the wilderness towards it tend to be inquisitive and adventurous enough to make good freelance reporters. And though they followed the Shining Star’s reputation before its shining light, couldn’t the same be said of the crew of the Little Snail?

The crew of the Little Snail has come to Spillaway Peaks in search of an ally: Thelonious, the editor-in-chief of the Shining Star newspaper and a member of the mysterious group called the Luminaries.

Friends at the Table
On the western continent of Perpetua, four fated adventurers set out on a prophesied journey. While to the east, in the Elevana League, a trio of travelers began to investigate a metaphysical sickness. What, if anything, connected these two groups? Who was powerful enough, invested enough, to watch each from above or below—besides you and I? Perhaps, if not for the impending stress of a familial reunion and the ever present struggle between one’s responsibilities to their culture and to themselves, the brilliant, Terrapine inventor Jonathan would find the perspective necessary not...

A sudden confrontation! Having ‘sniffed out’ a lead, Antistrophe, Brontë, and Caoimhe have dug their way towards the truth. That truth rests in the underground archive of the Hexcloaks’ regional headquarters in Cenn, City of Iron Chains. But such a basement does not go unguarded. To arms, Team ABC!

Castine, Living Metal, has retreated to his chambers to channel his power. An ancient dragon continues to slam at the city’s protective dome. Kley Kaina has been dragged away by Commander Thereus Aegir. Something suspicious lurks inside the Hexcloak Headquarters of Cenn, City of Iron Chains. And Antistrophe Landrace, Brontë Adelvys and Caoimhe Wake have pledged to get to the bottom of it… literally.

Perpetua 25: In Too Deep 01
Friends at the Table
A confrontation with the Hexcloak Commander, whose ominous air suggests dire motives. A conversation with the living god of metal, whose curious mind pries into their own. A conflict with an ancient draconic mole, whose thunderous anger threatens the city of chains. Antistrophe Landrace, Bronte Adelvys, and Caoimhe Wake have faced all of this and more during their stay in Cenn. And yet, for now, they’ve remained to help the city—now blocked off from the rest of the world by a massive sphere of pure iron—as it rebuilds from the dragon’s earth-shaking attack. A city as great as...

Town Maps [TNMP]
Spillaway Peaks [SPMP]
The Shell Barrow
You know that big dome you can see at Spillaway Peaks from the world map? Yeah, this is it. This is where they do their “Weekly Rehearsal,” which is like Church Sunday for them. Depending on how things go, you can visit this place at the end of the arc and get a buff.
The Clutch
This is where Terrapine kids grow up and go to school. You can get a pretty good Jonathan scene if you go here, but that’s about it for now.
The Docks and Administrative District
There’s not much here, except a way to get back on the Ferry and head back to Calstega Bay
Jonathan’s Family Home
This is the only of the Clan Homes you can actually enter, but it’s pretty big! It’s four or five levels high (depending on how you count) and there are a ton of rooms to explore, random NPCs to talk to, and some loot too! If you do a side quest for Jonathan’s dad, he can build you some gear in his workshop!
The Shining Star
The town newspaper. If you’re ready to advance the main plot, head up to the second floor of the Shining Star. You’ll automatically run into Theolonius (and Jonathan’s sister is working there as an intern or something, too). But if you aren’t ready yet, you can stay downstairs and use the quest board to grind out some XP and asta!
Shopping District
The highest level of the Spillaway City map (not counting the Spillaway Outskirts, but there you have to load out to the world map before getting there, so I don’t count it!) There are three main shops here. A general store, which basically just lets you recover IP and get basic items, and then Abelene’s Armory and Stokely’s Specialties.
Abelene’s Armory
Armor: Reinforced Mud Suit
300 asta | 11 Phys Def / INS size +1 Mdef | -5 Init | Earth Resistant
Armor: Meditation Robe
1000 asta | Def: DEX die +1 / MDEF: INS die +2 |-2 Init
Whenever you recover Mind Points, you recover 5 extra Mind Points.
Armor: Choir Robe
1000 asta | Def: DEX size +1 / Mdef: INS size +2 |-2 Init
Counts as 1 bonus SL of “Sound Barrier”: After you sing a verse with medium or high volume, all physical damage you suffer until the start of your next turn is reduced by【SL】(applied before Affinities).
Shield: Eyecatching Cape
800 z | +2 Def /+0 Mdef
As long as you don’t have a martial armor or another shield equipped, you may apply the effects of the Dodge Skill (see Core Rulebook, page 203).
Shield: Seasoned Potlid
1500 asta | Martial |+2 Def /+2 MDef
When you deal damage with a delicacy (see page 151), you deal 5 extra damage.
Shield: Plated Tambourine
1700 asta | +2 Def / +0 Mdef
If you have the Resonance Skill , consider your Skill Level in it increased by 2 (up to a maximum of SL 5).
Weapon: Giant Fork
1000 asta | DEX + MIG | HR + 16 | Martial | Physical Damage | Spear | Two-handed | Melee |
When you use this weapon with the Knife and Fork Skill, you may add the High Roll to the attack’s damage (you don’t have to treat it as being equal to 0).
Weapon: Electrified Flyswatter
1300 asta | MIG + DEX | HR+10 | Bolt Damage | One-handed | Melee
You may attack Flying creatures, but you take -3 to the roll.
Stokely’s Specialties
Accessory: Ring of the Occultist - 600 asta
Spells you cast with a target of “Up to three creatures” instead have a target of “Up to four creatures” (you must still spend additional Mind Points for the fourth target).
Accessory: Spare Magicannon Chamber - 800
When you summon a Magicannon, you also receive an extra Elemental Chamber, matching the previous elemental type you stored.
Accessory: Ring of Denial 600 asta
When you cast the Dispel spell (Core Rulebook, page 192), its MP cost becomes “10 × T” and its target becomes “Up to three creatures”.
Accessory: Lightcatcher Cage - 800 asta
You are Resistant to bolt and light damage. If you enter Crisis, the effect of this accessory ceases until your next rest.
Accessory: Ancient Pocketwatch - 600 Asta
When using the Entropist skill Stolen Time, you may use any of its options one additional time per skill use (paying requisite MP cost as normal).
