The official reference kilogram kept in Paris appears to be losing weight, relative to the supposedly-identical copies kept elsewhere in the world. Only about the weight of a fingerprint, so far . . . but who could be behind this? Is there an adventure hook here? Sure there is! What super-criminal, what shadowy consortium of illuminated manipulators, could stand to benefit from making everything in the world officially heavier? To start with, the gold in Fort Knox is now worth more . . . and all those dieters are that fraction of a kilogram chubbier. Relatively speaking . . .

Exalted: The West is all about boats, the people who ride them, and the wacky, zany, kooky misadventures that plague the seafaring peoples of Creation. Or that's what we got from skimming the back cover, anyway. Kind of a busy day. If the book is actually a chemistry textbook, we humbly apologize.
