Player characters in the upcoming Navigator hexcrawl campaign start "grounded" - their sept-vessel shattered and their clan left to scrape out a life pinned to the earth. This provides them with a medium-term goal that creates a real sense of progression - reclaiming the Black Season (which grounded septs have to spend holding their breath in an airlocked camp), expanding the world, and entering them into the endless knife-fight of Assembly politics.
