Bar length is season grit against the leader. Lost: no log two days in a row, back on the next met day.

1. Day17

   Veyr's patrol is closing on Greyhaven.

2. Day16

   Greyhaven's evacuees tell the Company how the warning line to the valley was abandoned.

3. Day15

   The Company escaped the patrol, but Veyr now knows someone is carrying his order north. Sera was hurt in the escape. The patrol's orders were to recover the fortress command seal — not to help anyone. The Company reaches Greyhaven, a small settlement sheltering evacuees. Here the Leader opens the final sealed page: the official mission is to retrieve the command seal, burn the fortress records, and withdraw before the ice shelf breaks. Greyhaven's people get no warning and no escort. The Leader admits the fortress commander, Captain Elian Vale, once saved his life. He does not tell the Company what to choose.

4. The Whiteout Patrol

   Not cleared · days 12–14

5. Day14

   Last day to get past the Whiteout Patrol. Tamsin's Bell Station stock closes tonight.

6. Day13

   In the whiteout, the patrol's colours show: they are Quartermaster Veyr's men.

7. Day12

   The Company raised the bell by hand. A scout from the Northern Fortress, Sera Anik, heard it and walked in openly. She carries a page signed by Crown Quartermaster Ors Veyr, ordering all northern supplies recalled. The Company must vote today on what to do with her. A whiteout is coming in, and a patrol with it.

   The Company chose: Accept Sera as a guide.

8. Ring the Silent Bell

   Cleared · days 8–11

9. Day11

   Last day to raise the Silent Bell. The Company feels watched from the treeline.

10. Day10

    Tamsin reaches the Bell Station with new stock.

11. Day9

    At the Bell Station the rope was cut clean and the logbook's pages torn out. This was done on purpose.

12. Day8

    The Company arrived with its supplies intact — and for one moment saw a single flash from the distant fortress. Someone there was alive, and recently. The Company reaches the Silent Bell Station: the bell hangs intact, but its rope has been cut.

13. The Broken Way

    Cleared · days 5–7

14. Day7

    The Company is on the frozen Glass River; the thaw has begun underneath the ice. Last day to get down the Broken Way. Tamsin's cart closes tonight.

15. Day6

    The Company is on the frozen Glass River; the thaw has begun underneath the ice.

16. Day5

    The pass is cleared. Beneath the fallen trees the Leader finds an old three-notch trail mark and goes quiet. Tamsin opens her cart. The road forks: the official ridge road or the frozen Glass River. The Company must vote today.

    The Company chose: Descend to the frozen Glass River — quicker, but the ice is old.

17. Black Pine Pass

    Cleared · days 2–4

18. Day4

    Last day to clear Black Pine Pass. Tamsin waits by her cart.

19. Day3

    The axe marks are fresh and deliberate: someone does not want travellers on this road. A travelling quartermaster, Tamsin Rook, catches up with a covered cart. She won't open it while the road is blocked.

20. Day2

    The North Road climbs into Black Pine Pass. Trees lie across the military road — cut, not fallen. The first obstacle is here.

21. Day1

    The Company forms on the North Road. The Leader shows the sealed iron tube with the Crown's crest: orders to reach the Northern Fortress before the thirtieth night. Nobody has said why. Every soldier should choose a class this week: Warrior, Rogue, Cleric, or Ranger.
