📍 Jarilo-VI Qlipoth Fort
Investigate
System
In front of you is a spherical device that is almost as tall as a person. The amount of dust on it suggests it has not been used for a while.
System
"Don't Belobogians care about geography?" This question crosses your mind. However, given what this planet has been through, it's not all that surprising that people here have little to no interest in geography.
System
To Belobogians, this armillary sphere is but an antique plaything. It has no real practical use, especially when compared with a map of the Administrative District that explicitly depicts the locations of all shops.
Options
Spin the globe. Revive geography!
Ugh, great. I hate geography the most.
System
You now feel energized and confident. Give it a go and make geography great again!
Options
Find the location of Belobog.
Blindly look around.
System
You eventually pinpoint Belobog's location on the globe's surface after diligent inspection.
System
Of course, "Belobog" is not inscribed anywhere on the surface of this antique armillary sphere. The only reason you can pinpoint its exact location is that you've once seen Jarilo-VI's panoramic view on the Express.
System
Now that you finally have a starting point, what should be your next move? Concentrate your thoughts, fine-tune your vision, evict all distractions, and seek truth with your own eyes.
System
North, east, south, and west. You must first decide on the next trailblazing direction.
Options
Look to the east.
Look to the west.
Look to the south.
Look to the north.
End exploration.
System
You look to the east and see a vast inland plain that is partitioned into dozens of subdivisions by a labyrinthine web of borders. Each subdivision could be a city or even a whole country.
System
Your right cerebral hemisphere is now running at full speed, conjuring up a vision where you see orderly lined arrays of Geomarrow factories, merchants coming from various worlds, and tourists lingering in the city streets while sharing fascinating tales about their travels.
System
Where to go next?
Options
Go further east.
What is in the northeast?
What is in the southeast?
Now back to Belobog.
System
Situated at the farthest east of the inland plain are some tiny settlements with names that are hard to pronounce. Other than this, you fail to discover anything noteworthy.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
What can be found in the northeast are nothing but barren lands. Perhaps those lands are just too desolate to be habitable? Whatever the case might be, its secrets remain deeply buried in history.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
Laying in the southeast of the inland plain is a deserted realm isolated by canyons. The name is no longer legible. When the calamity fell, its people must have been devastated.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
You look to the west and see a great ocean that is yet to be permanently encased in ice by the Eternal Freeze.
System
Your right cerebral hemisphere is now running at full speed, conjuring up a vision where you seem to catch sight of a blue ocean with vessels of every shape sailing on its dazzling waves.
Options
Go further west.
What's in the northwest?
What's in the southwest?
Now back to Belobog.
System
The furthest west is an endless ocean. It's not known how long it took the inhabitants of this world to discover that their home is situated on a globe.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
Scattered in the ocean are a few unnamed isles. Perhaps there are journals left behind by drifters documenting their survival on those isolated islands?
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
You look to the southwest of the ocean and spot a colossal black circle. It once represented death and terror, a vortex engulfing all ships and lives. Truly fascinating.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
You look to the south and see a giant basin, where the whole region is decorated by many forests, lakes, and wetlands.
System
Your right cerebral hemisphere is now running at full speed, conjuring up a vision where you seem to witness nature's utmost exuberance, with animals of every shape thriving in the air, on the land, and in the water.
Options
Go further south.
What's in the southwest?
What is in the southeast?
Now back to Belobog.
System
A greenish lake with a warm climate. Many marvelous species choose to reside here, from dragonflies with wings that span six feet to giant crocodiles that weigh dozens of tons, and many besides...
System
Um. Don't make too much of it. Perhaps you should just change direction and explore again.
System
It's a forest so unbelievably large that it could almost match the size of an ocean. There must've been a great many soldiers of the Antimatter Legion who got lost in it.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
A desert very close to lakes and forests... What a peculiar landscape. There are a few named cities scattered in the desert. What sustains them must've been the trade fueled by the rich Geomarrow resources found underground.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
You look to the north and see stunningly high mountain ranges that extend all the way to the world's end.
System
Your right cerebral hemisphere is now running at full speed, conjuring up a vision where you seem to catch a glimpse of cloud-piercing summits and a breathtaking view on top of a mountain ridge that is yet to be covered by snow.
Options
Go further north.
What's in the northwest?
What is in the northeast?
Now back to Belobog.
System
North of the northern mountains is a summit called Zarathustrazapala, the name of which you've already given up trying to pronounce. That is indubitably Jarilo-VI's highest point.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
Northwest... Wait a minute, this is...
System
You set eyes upon a land surrounded by mountain ranges. It might just be a typical marshland, or perhaps some peculiar landscape exclusive to Jarilo-VI... But that makes little to no difference to you either way.
System
Perhaps the only meaningful aspect is how that piece of land on the armillary sphere is shaped exactly like Conductor Pom-Pom.
System
You can't help but think it might be a commemorative stamp left by Akivili the Trailblaze when he last paid a visit to this planet...
System
What a fascinating discovery. Look, there are jewels of wonder even in a seemingly dull discipline like geography.
System
Mountains, mountains, and even more mountains. You can almost see how miserable it must've been for all those refugees who fled into the mountains, seeking shelter after the Legion's attack while helplessly waiting for calamity's arrival.
System
Perhaps you should change direction and explore again.
System
You end this geographical journey spanning millennia. The armillary sphere comes to a quiet stop in front of you. There are now a few discernible handprints left on its previously dusty surface.
System
Now, it's time for an exam.
System
Just kidding. Everyone despises those good-for-nothing exams. Let's just keep the study of Jarilo-VI's ancient geography confined within the realm of extracurricular pursuits.
System
You looked around aimlessly, and all your thoughts are completely muddled together. All those random place names are reflected onto your visual receptors but are immediately discarded by your brain the very next second.
System
Despite your great aspirations, geography is a field that relies on memorization. To make a breakthrough, you will have to find an efficient mnemonic.
Options
Find the location of Belobog.
System
You eventually pinpoint Belobog's location on the globe's surface after much effort.
System
Of course, "Belobog" is not inscribed anywhere on the surface of this antique armillary sphere. The only reason you can pinpoint its exact location is that you've once seen Jarilo-VI's panoramic view on the Express.

You resist the urge to spit on the armillary sphere not just because that'd be rude. Mostly it's because Bronya is standing right behind you.
