The franchise

Morrow-Kade

From the world of Gate Six. This page is written in the voice of the franchise; it is fiction.

Morrow-Kade is the franchise that runs Calder. It maintains the sea wall, issues the scrip that pays the Sump, and owns the rain. What follows is its own brochure, so read it with care.

A bare corporate lobby high in a tower, a lone figure watching the rain-lashed city far below.

Welcome to Morrow-Kade

Keeping Calder dry since before you were born.

At Morrow-Kade we believe that every resident of Calder deserves a roof, a floor and a sea that stays where we put it. For generations our people have worked quietly behind the wall so that you can work quietly in front of it.

Our promises

  • Dry streets. The wall will hold.
  • Fair pay. Morrow-Kade scrip is accepted in every franchise establishment across Calder, from the Lift to the Sump.
  • Clear skies. Rain is a managed resource. We manage it.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the rain? We do. It is a great responsibility and we take it seriously.

Is the wall safe? The wall will hold.

What is behind gate six? Gate six is a numbered sluice gate. We are not aware of any other information that residents require.
