Chapter Ten

Central Wisconsin, September of the forty-third year of the Kurian Order: North of the road and rail arc connectingMilwaukee with the Twin Cities,Wisconsin under the Kurians has lain fallow.

Dense forests of pine and oak shelter deer, moose, and feral pigs. Four-legged wolves prey on both, and occasionally have to give up their kills to prowling bears and wolverines. A few logging camps dot the area around Oshkosh and Green Bay, taking oak and cedar for use in the south.

Menominee trappers and hunters also traverse the woods and lakes, traveling down theWisconsin River to the Dells Country to trade pelts.

Within the gloom of their dominant hilltop dome in the oldWisconsinState Capitol building, they command Reapers fromFond du Lac to Platte-ville,Eau Claire toBeloit .

collectives ofNebraska ,Kansas , andOklahoma . But recently, a new shadow has fallen over the region. Rumors spread by milk-truck drivers and road crews tell of a new Kurian Lord turning the picturesquevillageofNew Glarus into a hilltop fortress. To the fearful smallholders and townspeople of the area, this means thirteen more thirsty Reapers taking their human toll by night.
