North Pole

First Appearance and Context

The North Pole is referenced during a description of the great clock housed within the Mynster and its central Præsidium. Black volcanic stone for the clock’s geometric counterweights is said to have been quarried from the Cliffs of Ecba and hauled "on sledge trains over the North Pole," situating the pole as part of a long-distance transport route on Arbre.

Description and Role

Within the context provided so far, the North Pole functions as a traversed polar region rather than a detailed destination. It is notable for being part of a route suitable for moving heavy cargo by sledge trains, implying established long-range paths across the far north when major materials must be conveyed.

Relationships and Functions

• Logistics and Materials: The pole is associated with the movement of large, hewn stones used to fabricate the cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron counterweights housed on the pillars of the Præsidium. Those stones originate at the Cliffs of Ecba.
• Institutional Context: The mention arises in connection with the working of the great clock central to the Mynster, which ties the pole to mathic infrastructure and its long-term projects.

Current Status

No further details have been provided regarding settlements, climate, or ongoing activity at the North Pole. Its role is currently limited to the historical and logistical reference noted above.
