The Founder’s Tree, located in the heart of Inner Trinity, is a ancient fruit-bearing tree roughly as old as the city itself. While historical details from the Withering (and subsequently the founding of Trinity) are hazy, the tree is rumored to have been planted by the founders themselves. Originally an apple tree, cuttings from various other fruit trees have been grafted on over the centuries. To Inner Trinity, it’s a symbol of the ongoing success of the city to both survive and prosper in the harsh world left behind by the Withering.

The power’s out, Julian is panicking, and Markesha has an idea on how to fix the situation. Orson might not be 100% on board, but that’s not going to slow her down.

Don’t you just hate it when the strange people you just met *also* have pressing problems, and now they’re also somehow your pressing problems?
