Svyavel

The Silent Sea of Shattered Glass

A closed space with a measurable edge. Someone built it.

Sound waves appear as glowing threads that drift through the air when a voice speaks or an engine hums.

The land of Svyavel
01

The Gate

"The aperture sits on a floating platform anchored near the ruins of Kraprabod."

from Gate Sector Five Log, by Gruprusk

This world's gate opens on Dimensional Station sector 5. A single drone meets any arrival carrying a weapon at the threshold.

Passage Cost
Ten credits per head and a thousand for every hull entering.
02

The Medium

"Dust storms close the sky for days and scatter the visible sound currents like broken glass."

from The Silence Trade, by Zistya

The space is filled with breathable air in every direction. No ground lies beneath it except what floats.

Danger
The air turns heavy without warning and sound threads snap into place.
03

The Economy

"Citizens spend money on bottled quietness to sleep without glare from auditory light."

from Song of the Heavy Air, by Krivlo

Water is sold by measure because wells constitute the richest property. Machines from any world run here on ambient power that feeds Ability Sets.

Trade
Others want a fibre grown here that is stronger than steel wire.
