Feat of Iron
The Iron Hands and Meduson
Meduson’s core route: Meduson → The Hand Elect → Old Earth. Ferrus before Isstvan, the Veritas Ferrum crew and Pythos, Crius and the Keys of Hel, and the Sisypheum crew are separate Iron Hands stories. Each has its own route in Reading order. Vengeful Spirit’s Dwell episode adds to Meduson’s war without making the entire novel an Iron Hands story.
