As far as I can tell Fu-peng is supposed to be mystery plot hook #52.  He *is* involved in the Coin of Luck mission from Corporate Intrigue…

25) I keep seeing a reference to some sort of magic or magically caused earthquake in Richmond, Vancouver, Salish lands. Can't find the details. Anyone point me to a source or info?

[Sendaz]

The earthquake hit back in '59 and you have to remember that particular range of mountains also contains Mt Rainier, which was caused to erupt back during the GGD and the range remains an active spot, so this might not have been intentionally caused and just a bit of ongoing rumbling.

If it was done intentionally, I have never come across any credible groups claiming responsibility.

Plus from a game POV, it created a nice little Barrens area now filled with vagrants, ghouls and other oddities making a perfect area for more shadowy business, whether offloading that t-bird or just laying low for a while.

hmmm. One of my sources definitely says caused by magic. I wonder why that detail if it was never addressed?

[Sendaz]

well it could well be of magical origin.

The earthquake hit the region, yet the areas surrounding the devastation were not even affected by a quake, which some probably took to mean it was magical in nature due to the tight area affected.

But beyond that tantalizing detail, there is not really a whole lot else.

Actually did find something in "Tails you lose" that would make sense, but that is 3 years later. Grr. I hate lose ends...

Might be left open for GMs to use it as a plot hook.

26) Big one. The shadows have been connecting Damien Knight, David Gavilan, Fuchi, Lucien Cross, and Big-D for some time. The info is spread all over. Is there either a paragraph run down or a consolidated thread/upload about this, laying out the pieces?

27) Further, what specifically has Ares been up to (what have they learned) regarding Vogel and Daviar? What have they been doing from 2073 to present?

28) Any bleeding edge current info on Damien Knight/Ares' Excalibur project?

[Reaver]

Storm Front for Excaliber.

Basically a dead end mana-tech weapon that never worked. Got refitted to AR specs and is blowing up in user's faces. Other then that, nadda.

The Dragon Heart trilogy of novels which starts the day Big D checked out unearths much of the relationship between Big D, DK and Galivan Industries. It also digs deeper into Crash 1.0 and Big D's connection to it. Big D might have been one of the few individuals who knew DK from before the Nanosecond-Buy-Out so that info might still exist somewhere in his former datastores.

I'll admit that most of the novels aren't as cannon as the RPG material.

[DeathStrobe]

Clockwork Asylum I think had some of the skinny on Knight/Gavilan, but that's assuming you trust a brain in a jar.

[Opti]

Now that I have just finished the Dragon Heart Trilogy, I pretty much have the answers I needed. Roxx's info was pretty much confirmed by Alice and even some by Damien Knight, so it seems as good info as any. Thanks for pointing me there.

29) ANY info on Mag Mell? Source would be appreciated.

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Never even heard of Mag Mell.

Edit: Having thrown it into Google, apparently it's the Irish version of the Elysian Fields.  Here's your Wikipedia article.

[Sendaz]

Sounds like someone is planning a trip to Tir na nOg maybe or having guests over from same?

According to legends, Mag Mell (or Magh Meall s some spell it) is sort of the Valhalla of Irish mythology, although you don't have to be dead to get there as it was rumoured to be an island off the Irish coast so maybe a bit closer to being like Olympus as it was where the Irish 'gods' were said to hang out.

As for SR, not much there beyond a word or two scattered a bit.

In Aetherology pg 7 we have this:

Old legends tell of battles between the courts over rule
of the metaplane. At one point the Seelie Court tried to
create a ritual to banish the Unseelie Court. At the same
time, the Unseelie Court was doing the same. What occurred
was a sophisticated fracturing of the Faerie Plane
that placed both courts in limbo, meaning they did not exist
in any metaplane. However they both found themselves
bordering on the physical realm and Faerie metaplane. The
Seelie Court was able cross into the world in what became
Tír na nÓg, while the Unseelie Court crossed into what
became known as Mag Mell. Lady Brane Deigh currently
rules over the Seelie Court, though while it is known that
the Unseelie Court is ruled by Lord Gwyn, associations
with him are mere speculation.

So like it's legends there seems to be a physical location to the place, but not a lot on it yet.
