Nice catch, Podarge! I didn't remember that bit about how the Emperor found Orpheus. The Morphic Pool/Upper City segment was a bit of a binge for me because I had an IRL deadline to get done with the game in July. While not trusting the Emperor, I neither believed the Netherbrain when it was rambling about how it planned all this. There was still reasonable doubt it was bluffing.
@Ranxerox A description that matches many paper & pencil adventures as well. They're designed to be mouldable, but many suffer from a lack of QA, continuity control and verisimilitude. Building a head/campaign canon from these sources is part of being a role-playing gamer and if done right also good fun.
