A closer look
At the threshold
By day, the shelf offers a mile of white with little to tell a safe step from a crevasse. Under the aurora, colour supplies the missing route. The same ice becomes a different landscape when the sky chooses to illuminate it.
Concept notes for the illustrated atlas. The setting and its details may change as the world develops.
People and discoveries
On the Long Night the aurora lights a path across it to a giants' cache; by day the shelf is crevasses
A planned rule of this place
Cross it only under the aurora, on the lit path, in the one night in seven; the crevasses under the dark ice take you otherwise.
Keep wandering
