A narcoleptic man’s dreams are bleeding into his reality, forcing him to face a tragic past. As he makes sense of the dream underworld, he uncovers some startling truths.
The homeworld of Freia Skuld is as distant from the comfortable inner planets as it is different. Myrk orbits the blue gas giant Terrere at the farthest reaches of the System. While the Femmani moons get a boost of heat from bright Gallows, Myrk receives very little infrared energy from Terrere and instead relies on far-away Skopi, which appears as the grandest star in a sky filled with many others.
Few Myrkers see the stars, however, since Myrk’s cloud-covered atmosphere is packed with greenhouse gases that make life livable on its surface. Often described as "soggy," the air is filled with abundant water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone. Rain frequently falls on Myrk, often serving as the bigger indication of twilight than the dimming sky. Thanks to the lack of atmospheric energy, storms are rarely violent.
With its somber weather, Myrk is seen as a quiet corner of the System. Inhabitants are famous for their heavy garb, work ethic, and dedication to their families and communities, with whom they spend a great deal of time trying to stay warm and dry.
