In this chapter, Nirgal wakes on a high platform overlooking a vast landscape and joins a nomadic hunter-gatherer group moving through the Juventa Chaos toward the Chryse Gulf. The group practices a cooperative, semi-agricultural lifestyle centered around disk houses and orchards, balancing hunting with gathering and preserving food. After a difficult and largely unsuccessful hunt for a caribou, they abandon the chase and descend to the coastal town of Nilokeras for medical care and communal celebration, highlighting their resilience and social bonds.
