Deadwake: The Silent City

What is Deadwake: The Silent City

What is the price of silence?

In the fractured world of Deadwake, the Cascade never stops screaming. Every faction has found its own way to survive the noise: the Choir sings it into scripture, the Compact builds shelter from shared belief, the Wayfinders chart the quiet paths between one shriek and the next. But beneath every one of those strategies runs the same older, stranger rumor, that somewhere in the wreckage of the old world, a place exists where the noise simply stops.

They call it a thousand things. The Wayfinders call it the Still Point. The Quietists call it Cognitive Zero. The Choir calls it the Great Heresy, a tumor of silence in their god's endless song. Nobody agrees on what it is. Everybody agrees it's real, and everybody wants it, for reasons that put them on a collision course with everyone else who wants it too.

The Silent City is a complete metaphysical expansion for the Deadwake universe, and it asks a question none of the setting's other sourcebooks dare to ask: what happens if you actually find what you're looking for?
