Description

Nearly three-quarters of a thousand kilometers about, Hegira has, against all the laws of science, Earth-normal gravity; its various events have a typical background: all the accumulated understanding of the Very First-born, graven on large Obelisks that rise out-of-sight to the atmosphere, beyond humanity's forces to achieve and study. But as knowledge advances, therefore the enigmas of Hegirais character become continuously more difficult to describe or even to comprehend. The ill-assorted group who attempt their individual missions understand little of the world's oddities and treatment less,until Hegira's changeless secrets start to change; until the very first excellent Obelisk tumbles.
