Description

The same Egyptian city that in other layers houses the GRDT and the Akashic Records (Uchronic Alexandria), shifted and darkened from its terrestrial model.

The 1891 season

  • Platform of Libra — the city’s sign in the Game of Shadows; the Aries→Libra leap “has a price in years”.
  • Barrio Delta and the club “Hooligans” — the cosmopolitan underworld where the season opens.
  • Classical monuments: the Serapeum, Pompey’s Pillar, the tomb of Alexander.
  • Guardians of Libra: the guardian called “Valor” is found dead; by the Game’s rule (whoever kills the guardian becomes the guardian) a member of the company inherits the post. The Fever, the millennial collector of souls, is the platform’s second guardian.

Chronologically, Alexandria falls between the gesta of the Deep Ones (1888–89) and the 1901 close of the Regulators.
