Siket

Siket is the white of twilight snow and the blue of the coldest, most ancient ice. The child of explorers from Light who traveled a little too far into their dreams, something otherworldly gleams below her surface, like the deep blue opalescent patches that glimmer from beneath her skin. She belongs to two worlds but only knows of this one, and the shadows of things that she doesn't understand drive her to wander, seeking...something. One can sometimes feel a breath of winter in her presence, like a sudden cold snap in spring, or glimpse transparent forms falling and swirling all around her, like ethereal flowers of snow.

OLATHOË Olathoë is a city in Dreamland, located in the land of Lomar on the plateau of Sarkis. Nestled between two mountains, the city was full of marble towers, citadels, and fortifications. It is very near the pole, which makes it very cold. In winter, it would be left in twilit darkness, even during the day, so that the stars were always visible. The city looks ethereal and ghostly during these months. During the summer, the city would be under constant, pale sunlight. The city is inhabited by Lomarians refugees from Zobna, which was overtaken by advancing glacier fields. The Lomarians were tall, serious, beared men with long robes. The city eventually falls to invading Inutos, the ancient ancestors to the Eskimos. A guardian from the waking world kept watch in the tower, but he was put under a spell by the Pole Star: "Slumber, watcher, till the spheres/ Six and twenty thousand years/ Have revolv'd, and I return/ To the spot where now I burn."
