Because of the Wall, the settlements no longer have internet (beyond any local network) or any magical means of communicating, traveling, or sending goods (e.g., clairvoyance, teleportation).

The colors have meaning:
 
* Black is the dark past of slavery by the Reavers. This also includes the Years of Ravening Winter (1189-1340): the 150 years after the Great Freeze, when the Sihblosians struggled to survive.
 
* White is the Great Freeze and the eight centuries since. It is the present endless winter.
 
* Blue is faith in a better future. It is the oceans turned liquid again. It is blue sky, instead of the frequent clouds and storms.
 
* The two sides of the green pyramid are the twin pillars of the Republic: Vigilance and Unity. The sides are also the two peoples made one: the Sihblosians and the Expats. The pyramid extends from the past to the future: the Sihblosians endured the Reavers and the Great Freeze, and they will endure to see Sihblos green again.

Place
See also: Childstealers; Free Republic of Sihblos


Sihblos is a hostile, sparsely-populated planet. Its entire surface is covered by a crust of frozen water miles deep. The weather is often bad and massive blizzards and ice storms are common. Small, fragile biomes have survived on and around the mountain peaks, especially around geothermal vents.

Sihblos is in the Closeness. It was the first world Elias Rossman discovered in his explorations.

Notable denizens include Childstealers, Expats, the Free Republic of Sihblos, and the Mother's Children.

Unique denizens include Sihblos Banes and Sihblos Guardians.

Astronomy

Sihblos is a planet in the Goldilocks zone of its yellow giant star. Sihblos has two moons: the Defiant Mother and the Humbled Crone.

After the Wall

Because of the Wall, the settlements no longer have internet (beyond any local network) or any magical means of communicating, traveling, or sending goods (e.g., clairvoyance, teleportation). Radio is unreliable. The Republic has a few satellites in orbit but they're in high demand. The orbital station of New Arcadia has ground-facing sensors but the station is fixed in place by the space elevator. The weather often severely interferes with whether the satellites and Arcadia's sensors can even collect information, much less transmit it. (Arcadia can transmit down the elevator.)
