Great stuff here, Sam! Your layout is top notch, and your clever use of public domain art elements is simply a masterclass in achieving 110% output with very little. Color me impressed.
I'll be honest and say that from your setup, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Your hooks and rumors section, however, is really where it all came together for me. Your random encounters are bespoke and evocative of the setting, but leave just enough to the imagination for the GM to fill in the blanks, which I appreciate. Your character work is fantastic, and each one feels worthy of a novel all their own. One of my regrets with my adventure is the lack of a fleshed out town, so the fact that you've managed to include both a city and a dungeon serves as inspiration for my own future revisions.
Cheers - and beware the Knacker sign!

I greatly appreciate this. I thought a lot about how to get the bare playable essence of Ellucid across in just one page. I've been reading The Valley of Flowers lately and find their parenthetical duos/trios of NPC adjectives do a lot of heavy lifting for minor characters. I realized that the hooks, rumours, and encounters are doing a big part of subtly establishing the flavour of the city too.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read it.
Beware the Knacker sign indeed, friend! I got an audible "eww" from my wife reading the phrase "pulped herd of barrow pigs" so I know I did something right there ;)
