Boldness has vast, clear skies and crisp and cold. Boldness glaciers rise from the Boldness seas.
Miss Emeline Traveler looks out from the edge of the cliff at the milky sea filled with churning waves and ice chunks.
She leaps from the cliff and her thick robes fly up around her.
She lands gently atop the sea and walks to Bold island, with its slick green shore, stepping around the ice chunks.
“I feel the mastery of this place,” Miss Emeline says.
Visitors climb the stairs to Boldness Mountaintop and shout their claim and their words echo — heard around the land.
"They seem impervious to harm and criticism," says Miss Doe Friend.
The island Pointless rises in the icy Bold sea.
Adventurers climb the Pointless Mountaintop where they proclaim their heart’s intent which echoes over the land.
The denizens of Pointlessness keep fires lit along the island shores. The drink from the streams and write poetry upon tiny leaves and sail them down the Pointless rivers. They eat the Pointless grasses and slowly digest them. Their bellies are bloated with grass and their teeth are green.
“Ha! What do you hope to accomplish? You’ll merely wind up here like us,” the Guide says as Miss Emeline Traveler and her merry band passes.
