is the ASS merchants of the whitesummit region under merlot, are they in a union? this means the ASS has better working strategies than the Gravy !
the fact toymaker isle drifts around the entire planet means the toymakers have the means to survive the dark sea for extended periods of time completely fine and nobody else does
how do they do it 
they burrow into the ice like voles obviously
yk frostmill also does this? frostmill was never normally part of the bronze sea until they moved there
I can’t remember if the dialogue specifically states this, but I assumed it referred to the war seas rather than the whole world
yeah but the area notification when you go to frostmill always said the War Seas specifically so i assumed something stopped frostmill from drifting into the dark sea somehow
when you go to toymaker isle it says it drifts around the planet so i just assumed thats what it meant
I kinda assume it takes some time for them to drift and also just the paths entirely goes around the war seas for them, like a set path where they will always go but it takes a century
Theory accepted
