2023-08-29 - Fort Sunward - Completed
Steven and Prim plummet to the ground a short trip from Fort Sunward. They find Tyrfing there, who has seemingly been slumbering beneath the sands for a while, and who has lost his scabbard. They meet Aurelia, the fort's daytime guard, who describes the function and history of the fort to the newcomers and elucidates Sojaveña's political situation. They are brought to the fort, where a reticent Estelle reunites Tyrfing with his scabbard and offers board for the night before Prim, Steven and Tyrfing are warped to Frontier Town via Travel Orb.

Aurelia revealed that Fort Sunward is a site of religious significance and a popular destination for pilgrims. The story of the Sun's Sacrifice, as she recounts it, goes that in the earliest days of Forlas, a series of severe volcanic eruptions threatened life on the planet. Civilization was saved by the Sun, who lit herself ablaze to provide warmth and light until the ash clouds retreated. Exhausted by the deed, she has allegedly been sleeping ever since. Aurelia attributes the unique skies of Sunward to the ancient sacrifice.
