Overview
Frozen land locked in the moment of the Eclipse. Eternal winter, icebound memories, and clans suspended between duty and loss.
Narrative role
Birthplace of the Ninth Wave revolution and a crucible for time-stilled stories. Serves as an early arc pressure point where rebellion, memory, and militarism collide.
Known facts
- Eternal winter; “frozen grave” of the East.
- Time-suspended clans; icebound memory fragments linger in terrain.
- Militarist regime collapsed/reformed, giving rise to the Ninth Wave.
- Origin for figures like Okashira/Kojiro; Arc 3-4 placement in regional flow.
Mechanics impact
Likely hosts time-stasis hazards, memory-fragment encounters, and rebel/loyalist reputation paths. Cold survival modifiers and frozen traversal puzzles should feature prominently.
Relationships
- Seigetsu Empire: Former occupier; their raids and rule sparked revolution.
- Ninth Wave: Emerged from Yukigami resistance; still exerts shadow influence.
- Western realms: Feared for spreading revolutionary tactics; occasionally ally against Seigetsu pressure.

Militarist regime Arc 3 Yukigami Eastern Frozen grave --- 2.3 Geopolitical Summary ● Eastern Continent: Aokuni-rooted nations intertwined in cycles of duty, honor, and collapse. The Seigetsu wars and Yukigami revolution birthed the Ninth Wave. ● Western Continent: Galport's trade fleets, Eddara's naturalism, Verdathal's organic --- 3.1 The Ninth Wave The Ninth Wave emerged only a few years before the current events. Originally a response militia against Seigetsu's brutal raids on Yukigami, it quickly transformed into the world's most feared force after the silent assassination of the Seigetsu Emperor. Controlling fragments of Seigetsu's military and government, the Ninth Wave now manipulates politics from the shadows.
