Description and lore
North Star Shard
A sharply faceted shard catches a small point of light, ready for a navigation fitting.
Lore and observations
Direction is valuable where a route can vanish under snow. A traveller keeps the shard with marked charts and notes of the landmarks already known.
A fitted setting protects the edges without hiding the shard's clean geometry. Scratches on its housing record how often the instrument has been carried and consulted.
