The Other Side of the Glass

Rosetta's Documentary

Rosetta's first documentary about the crawl, funded by Porthus, which resonated but changed nothing.

Story so far

After Rosetta finally exited the dungeon, it was Porthus who gave her the money and backing to make her first attempt at retribution. She had been a fledgling journalist before the crawl, in a country where that was one of the most dangerous, subversive jobs there was.

The result was the documentary The Other Side of the Glass, whose title recalls the Scolopendra Club glass where King Rust killed Brooks while the orcs laughed. It resonated — but like all things that are hard to look at, people clicked their tongues in sympathy and then immediately looked away. That failure is precisely why Rosetta came back into the dungeon, so that this time nobody could look away.
