Wanderhome Module: Falling Back

Firetop in the Appleless Valley is a glorious time of year, with bountiful harvests and the leaves on the surrounding trees turning a vibrant gold.  But something is amiss.  At the centre of the valley is a tall moth-tower which, local folklore says, controls the seasons.  It is maintained by an oracular bear named Fleming, who has a huge and magnificent beard.  The locals still call the moth tower “The Dingle,” as for many years before it long ago acquired the orrery, there was a loud bell at the top.  But something in the Vale appears to have gone amiss this autumn -- Fleming has gone into hibernation for the first time in years, and time in the valley appears to have slipped behind by an hour….

This is a module for Wanderhome, complete with instructions, locations, and kith, that you can drop into any Wanderhome journey for a timeless interlude that raises more questions than it answers. 

Meet the kith and small gods of the Appleless Valley, and the sleeping caretaker of a magical orrery, and walk a valley that is starting to fall out of time. Ask and answer questions metaphysical, philosophical, and ridiculous. Discover what happens when time falls out of step. Make up your own mind what happens here.
