Ciem: Inferno: The Grand Tour

Ciem: Inferno: The Grand Tour is a tourism event that took place between July 29th and August 1st of 2019, to do geographic research on the cities of Evansville and Boonville for The Gerosha Chronicles.

Stories affected
The stories most affected by this tour are the following:


 * The Battle for Gerosha (understanding pre-Gerosha Boonville geography, as it would have affected Stan and Shalia Flippo's lives and legacy)
 * Of Emeralds and Sapphires (knowing more about where Donte was born and raised)
 * Ciem: Inferno (retracing the steps of Candi's early life, and in the Inferno timeline)
 * Ciem: Caldera (knowing which locations would be of interest to Quoll)
 * Sodality: Instigation (knowing what's left of the town after Affadidah's ravaged it, as Candi and her allies begin their exodus)
 * The Gerosha Chronicles: Centipede + 49 (knowing what's left for Candi to reclaim from Affadidah's dying regime)
 * Ciem Tomorrow (knowing what gets rebuilt after Affadidah is gone)

Locations excluded from the tour
Under ideal circumstances, the tour would have included Madison (particularly the former juvenile center) and Cincinnati also. Under extremely ideal circumstances, Boulder and Yellowstone would have also been included for good measure. However, these areas were not possible to include. The city of Madison may feature a little in Inferno, but features much more prominently in Kahoopiliana and Ash Cloud. Cincinnati, likewise, features much more prominently in Ash Cloud than in Inferno. There weren't enough days available off from work for the Dozerfleet founder, nor enough money in the bank to afford gas or lodging, to cover the costs of doing the entire Centipede and Fire Saga all at once.

Inspiration for future tours
The locations still legally permissible to enter and tour that were omitted from the "Grand" Tour for Inferno could become locations for other tours.


 * Ciem: Ash Cloud: The Grand Tour would cover primarily Cincinnati, and all locations where Candi would have done something to either rescue civilians or else try to get the Heart of Pele away from Korsicht
