I've had great fun imagining the tension and denial between Pele and Gabriel, both of whom have powerfully strong ties to Kilauea. I even thought about writing some more IN stuff for Hawaii, but since I've never been there I'm at a disadvantage.

I've also flirted with a War tether along the defense perimeter of Busan, South Korea. There's a film "71 Into the Fire" or variations on (the title's a translation) that treats it in a very inspiring way. There's also a cathedral in Seoul dedicated to 103 Korean Christian martyrs and their generally gruesome deaths---to Faith, or to Death? And which Death? And the DMZ to Jordi, though it would probably be a short writeup.

I could make a case for Dokdo/Takeshima/Liancourt Rocks as a tether to Factions, but that would mean writing about something that irritates me personally and I'd find it impossible not to get snarky.

Alas, my best excuse in all of those is time.
