Isn't it strange that so much focus is on the steam works in Shadgard? With all that's going on in the lands, trying to secure enough food, making the town safe, and fending off threats from far and near, they pursue something that can be so finicky and temperamental. Why does Shadgard bother with such a resource intense science?
The answer? The infestation. Here we go. Shadgard's steamy secret. I believe there's an underground locale in Shadgard where those afflicted with resen live. It started long ago with a prominent member of the community who suddenly and without warning left the public eye. They couldn't rightly continue lighting fires underground, all the smoke would cause too many problems. However, steam solves this problem. It keeps things warm and wet. Great conditions for the resen to thrive.
Those who are aware of Shadgard's past might recall strained relations with Tse Gaiyan for meddling in their business. Why would they care so much about an organization dedicated towards containing the resen and protecting free will? Because they're hiding it right below their feet.
