EremoterraThe chronicle of Slack Water
Open sea, 2959 m deep, kept by Rhea
Every line is a record the land wrote; the names in quotes are the owner's words. What the chronicle does not say did not happen. Most lines fade after half a year; the kept ones stay.
Animals here this month: orca (feeding), seal (moulting), whale (feeding), shark (feeding), dolphin (calving), albatross (feeding).
