Endgame:North Sheva: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

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]] concluding the quest [[We Are Starfreight]] 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, the [[Endgame:graphene ribbon|graphene ribbon]] that was used to ascend the Spindle will become inoperable. 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.

The North Sheva's traversable area is vast, constituting several explorable zones and several ~~inaccessible zones visible~~ in the world map. After the player has ascended the Spindle, they will arrive at the Arrivarium. From there, they can access the Point of Tifaret, which is the first {{f|mover}} stop available from the Arrivarium.

===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==

The North Sheva's traversable area is vast, constituting several explorable zones and several locations that the player cannot visit, existing exclusively in the world map. After the player has ascended the Spindle, they will arrive at the Arrivarium. From there, they can access the Point of Tifaret, which is the first {{f|mover}} stop available from the Arrivarium.

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.
