The space fills with ice that never melts. A single continent drifts across a sea of glass.
Settlements build on high ground because lightning strikes the low spots so often.

The Drift
The drift direction changes every two centuries without warning.
from The Drift Almanac, by Tacea
The land sits on a thick crust of ice that never melts despite the slow motion below. A single continent drifts slowly across a sea of glass at three metres per year before the drift stops and turns.
The Gate
Rival factions control access to it under the old agreement that prevents either side from locking the other out.
from Ledauci Primer, by Flewaft
The entrance is a cargo-sized mouth that a ship can fly into directly from the sea of glass.
- Cost
- Ten credits a head and a thousand a hull.
The Light
Nothing flies here because wings fail in the air, so Hoyihon traders carry all goods by hand instead of using carts on wheels.
from Sermon on the Glass Roof, by Kodun
The light has a green cast, making red look purple and blue look green to anyone visiting from elsewhere. Glass forms the great material for lenses, pipes and whole houses since stone is scarce on the drifting shelf.
- Flight
- Wings fail in the air because nothing flies here.
