Burgundy
The wine-dark province that gives sons, casks, silence, and trouble

Licensed mountain wounds of the middle Line, where pilgrims, relics, mules, Wardens, tokens, avalanches, and invoices cross by permission.

Codex Ref. XIII.1.62-005

The shortest border is the one behind the teeth

Lyon Academy of Horological Sciences

Montreval
The pass-town that taught Reason the road was closed
Montreval held three winters against Lucien Artois's clockwork guns, hunger, pamphlets, fever, and arithmetic; a southern pass-town where Severin bought time with walls, bells, broth, and burned bridges.
Codex Ref. II.1.09-015

Codex Ref. II.1.11-201
Saint Cadrin the Measured
A saint so useful the archive had no choice but to discover him

The Mimic Incident
When obedience heard the lawful sound and moved for the enemy

Codex Ref. VII.8.10-021
The Rhône
Water carries what paper refuses to keep dry

Zone 1
The rearward paradise that learned to invoice the war

Zones 1 through 5 are graded permissions for bread, sons, movement, fear, artillery, and the state’s appetite.
