* '''Ysilin Hollow''': A subterranean refuge beneath a wind-scoured ridge of broken ice. Known for its deep resonance chambers, it is home to Echo-Keepers who study the subtle vibrations of the past preserved in glacial layers.

* '''Tharrask Vein''': An outpost near the Fractured Scar, where temporal disturbances surface irregularly. It serves as a research site and frontier guardian, housing cadres of Resonants who monitor and stabilize rifts in time-flow.
