EremoterraThe chronicle of Casa del Hielo
The ice sheet, 65 m up, kept by Zoraida Méndez
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.
The people

They keep: silence in the long night; shared catch; the long migration. They like clear, ice, and snow. They dislike heat and fog. Closed to strangers. Their words: hearth alsu, river or sea raatingqii, winter or the rains miivuuirang, the dead ngiaaluungkaii, home siuuruutva, stranger naamkiaangan, feast iiruuvtaa, child ukuvkii, old one naaiiku, the place Manqan, the beast aaltim, the sky uqlaa. Founders: four. Lore: 2 lines.
