The People of SolPorten

Scientists, soldiers, engineers, officials and one impossible guide hold Midgard’s place in the network between them.

Project SolPorten is small by necessity. Its members cannot separate scientific interpretation from field decisions: the archaeologist activates machinery, the physicist negotiates with custodians, the linguist carries intelligence orders and the engineer becomes legible to ancient systems. Liv’s arrival turns an expedition into a contested political unit. Vidar’s arrival turns it into the front line of an older war.
