Yesterday’s Stair
A difficult Pale Hours route notorious for clock disagreement and generations of mutually honest but incompatible journey records.
The name is local humor that outsiders repeatedly mistake for proof of literal time travel.
Route record
Cairns move with ice, guides refuse to promise arrival by a single clock, and ascent journals can contradict one another without either writer lying.
Archive interest
The Still Archive keeps an entire shelf of failed descriptions because repeated failure is itself evidence about the route.
