The study group is a cultural fixture in Quarcoxa, descending from Judaic traditions of group study. The Argot word is mahamad—the same word used for Fulco’s junta. Quarcoxans will also call any group of serious students, or perhaps a baseball team on a hot streak, a mahamad.

Far from Quarcoxa City stands the huge and towering range, erstwhile laboratory of the Edenite Order, the Mountains of Infinite Calvaries. Among these peaks, it is said, the brothers took their works to the most terrifying excess.

Page from Quarcoxa 2: Complete ignorance renders one a subject of La Farsa, manipulated by forces they can't perceive.
Partial knowledge makes one a participant in La Farsa, capable of navigating its currents but not controlling them.
Full knowledge transforms one into an agent of La Farsa, a vector for its spread but also bound by its logic.

La Farsa affects all who encounter it. Quarcoxans inherit susceptibility; foreigners become vulnerable through exposure. Study groups must navigate not just external threats but their own growing entanglement with forces they seek to understand.

And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.

The relationship between Rustic Borough 04 and the wider psychosphere remains poorly understood. Certain ritual practices continue, creating discontinuities that pass unregistered by state monitoring equipment.

Institute ruins. Known locally as "the Marked Place" but marked on tourist pamphlets as the historic "Pagota Sangre de Oeste", these decaying structures once hosted wealthy Quarcoxans seeking psychological transformation. Founded in 1922 by followers of Jung and Ferenczi, the Institute's isolation from European developments led its practitioners to increasingly heterodox methods. Drawing inspiration from Quarcoxan-Irish writer Margarita Llull's controversial novel The Eclectic Zone (1919), patients underwent extended periods of sensory deprivation, followed by "reintegration sequences" using mechanical apparatuses that modulated light, sound, and temperature to reconnect fragmented psyches with social reality.

In 197X, disposal has become simultaneously industrialized
and mythologized. The Information Directorate maintains a labyrinthine processing facility, where massive pulping machines
operate continuously, transforming the physical remains of bureaucracy into raw material for new state documents.

Black and white drawing of a rifle sitting in a jungle setting

Throughout history, Cartolandia (“Paperland”) has served as Quarcoxa’s primary document disposal site. The Edenite brothers and their enigmatic accomplices began the pratice, bringing “the pomace of their labors” to this liminal coastline for careful interment.

This industrialization exists in uneasy tension with older practices that persist throughout Cartolandia; an agglutination of Edenite disposal rituals, Rabbinic traditions, and local apotropaic beliefs.

As a long time Over the Edge fan, I'm not vibing with Al-Amarja as much as I used to these days, but swapping out the setting for Quarcoxa is sounding better and better the more I read.

"The seductions of Quarcoxa—the drift towards anomalies in culture, glimpses of an unveiled science, the terms of the diabolic contract—remain absolute. The world’s hidden pathways meet at this strange crossroads, one cannot help but sense it."
