The North Sheva is a space station located at the top of the [[Spindle]] in geostationary orbit over Qud. It is accessible by ascending the Spindle using the [[Golem]] as a part of the [[We Are Starfreight]] quest, after [[Reclamation]] is completed. Doing so will begin a short interlude where the player can talk to {{favilink|Barathrum the old}} if he is present, or wait to end the interlude if he is not.

Once the player ascends the ~~spindle~~, they cannot return back to Qud without [[Endgame:Ending|ending]] the game.

== Point of No Return ==

Once the player ascends the Spindle, they typically cannot return back to Qud without [[Endgame:Ending|ending]] the game. On arriving at the North Sheva, the [[Endgame:graphene ribbon|graphene ribbon]] that was used to ascend the Spindle will become inoperable.

From there, they can access~~ the ~~Point of Tifaret, which is the first~~ [[Endgame:~~Mover~~|~~mover~~]] ~~stop available from~~ the ~~Arrivarium~~.

If the player descends down the ribbon after breaking the {{f|nondeterministic core}} the game will end with a [[Endgame:Ending#Return|Return]] ending. Attempting to use a {{f|recoiler}} will simply state that "You cannot do that here." and {{favilink|Space-Time Vortex|Space-Time Vortices}} will teleport the player to another location within the current zone, not anywhere in Qud.

~~North Sheva~~ has ~~its own world map. Unlike Qud~~, the ~~North Sheva's world map consists of several isolated locations, which can be traversed between by using the~~ [[~~Endgame:Mover|mover~~]] ~~rail system~~.

===Exceptions===

* If the player has somehow obtained a {{f|life loop}}, then this will still work and teleport the player back to {{f|Grit Gate}} on death.

* [[Wishes]] such as <code>goto</code> can still be used to take the player back to Qud.

==World Map==

North Sheva has its own world map. Unlike Qud, the North Sheva's world map consists of several isolated locations which can be traversed between by using the {{f|mover}} rail system.
