“A fixed law does not survive the swelling sea.”

• Taelith Legal Commentary
  
  

Ithrenn is defined by vast, shifting transit corridors shaped by ocean currents. Cities are engineered as floating, mobile structures anchored to these routes, circulating slowly through thousands of carefully maintained biomes. No settlement remains within a single ecosystem long enough to exhaust it.

Ecological equilibrium is sacred on Ithrenn, but it is never assumed. Cities function as semi-autonomous flotillas, recalibrating their industry, population density, and governance as they pass through changing environments. Balance is preserved through constant adjustment rather than fixed limits or static regulation.

The planetary crossing rite is central to Taelith identity. Travel across Ithrenn is slow, exposed, and deliberately uncertain, demanding preparation, patience, and restraint. The rite produces leaders accustomed to acting without complete information, comfortable making measured decisions while conditions shift around them. On Ithrenn, motion is discipline, and adaptation is duty.
