The Stone Meridian, also known as The Shelter Adamantine, The Moving City, and The Sky-Pearl, is an Hour born in the moment of greatest peril, at the apex of the Collision. It was molded into the shape most desired by the thousands upon thousands of wounded hearts. And as they begged, it shall remain, no matter what.

It is hopeful, for nothing can remain for long without hope. It brings home, shelter, and comfort to those who are desperate for it, for home is essential if one is to persist. It brings purpose for those who were robbed of it, it gives second chances to those who were misled, and it reshapes those who are beyond the reach of mercy. And, at last, it remembers, for sacrifices fade, too.

Locations
The Mansus
Carmine Grazelands
A scarred, war-torn plain, painted with the blood of Mansus-spirits and dotted with rubble. This is where the Maiden met the Pearl and did battle. The soil reeks of strife and hunger. The Mire-Maiden's minions still roam this place, waiting for their mistress to return.
The Wake
The Dodekapolis
Venice, Venezia, Venedig, Venecija, Velence, Benátky, βενετία... This city has collected many names in many Histories, but they don't matter anymore, now that they have collided with each other and turned into dust. The Lagoon is a flaw, a poorly healed wound on the skin of the world. When the clock has struck thirteen and the Sun has become two, the first spark that flared up the forge of the Stone Meridian was born here, in every city. There are twelve iterations of Venice, and they didn't quite merge together into a union of broken geometries like with the most other major cities of the world. All of them "stacked" on top of each other, become woven sideways into the fabric of space-- there is always a city, but it may soon blink out of the Wake as we know it, and be replaced by one of its siblings.
