Description
“A NEW VOYAGE TO THE FORBIDDEN LAND
It has been over one hundred years since the noble and tragic expedition of Il’Letitia and her gallant party met its end on the slopes of the Greatest Dividing Range. Let it never be said that Dheghom are a people that can be stopped by something as simple as inclement weather however, as of today Orn has erupted in plaudits and well-wishes as hundreds gather to cheer on their very own expert mountaineer and man of charitable endeavours Irvin Cuttling as he leaves with two miracles of modern science. The Cuttling Expedition, as named by the press, has laid out the specific goal of climbing no less than half-way up the terrible mountains of the Range and making for the unknown lands on the other side. While Mr. Cuttling has assured both his investors and the public that success in this historical endeavor is inevitable, the question on all of our lips is: ‘can the impossible truly be performed?’...” - excerpt from The Orn Mirror, unknown publication date.
A horror story about two people learning why climbing mountains is not necessarily the best idea.

- SleepieJawaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A really well paced, compelling short story that delivers a great journey of two characters as they ascend a peculiar mountain in an odd world. I particularly liked the unique dynamic between the protagonists Al’Gups & Cuttling and how it changed throughout the climb.
I was fascinated by the world and hope more stories seting will follow!
