EremoterraThe chronicle of Nothing Yet
The ice sheet, 734 m up, kept by Tamsin Vane
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
THE PEOPLE OF NOTHING YET — ice hunters and hunters, wandering, in bands. No given names; each is known by what they do. They hold the sky sacred. 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 numnguumsu, river or sea riiurii, winter or the rains akaan, the dead kungaang, home suunquun, stranger qinaa, feast liira, child angkuun, old one ngiitaangru, the place Quuaamuuvaan, the beast qiuuraavaang, the sky limaav. Founders: four. Lore: 2 lines.
4 of the folk have names, in a household of 0.
