Cobar, a strong-willed man, living alone, is an outer builder of the wall, waking up before most and risking his life to restore the exterior of the wall. Every morning it's the same, inspect the beams, check for scratches and blood, clean and fix any impurities to the majesty's great barrier that keeps them all safe. The builders of the outer wall are a small group sent outside the wall to do repairs and inspections every morning after any nightly attacks. No one knows why the wall is often damaged in the early morning, no one besides the crew of the outer wall. "There are things out there, beyond the wall, I've seen them for myself. They all starve and moan as they fight for survival, there is no food for them, I see no crops or berries as far as the horizon." Cobar attempts to persuade anyone who will listen, but it's too late for that now. All the village folk has listened to this outer wall nonsense from the miners and the repair crew, but they know better than to listen to them. Nova Iris, and young Lilith, find themselves in a similar place as one another, scared, hopeless, and lost. Knowing mainly one thing as does the rest of the world. Leave.
