EremoterraThe chronicle of Old Pebble
Open sea, 4479 m deep, kept by Beatrix
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), penguin (nesting), albatross (feeding), gull (nesting).
