The Antarctica Campaign (Vols 5-6) is one of the largest military operations of post-Cataclysm humanity. Triggered by a chain of hundreds of small Nightmare Gates — an unprecedented anomaly on the Obel Scale — it gathers Awakened from every Citadel.
Key Actors
- Jet: recruits Sunny for the campaign
- Sunny: agrees after the Valor Clan ball confrontation
- Nephis: has already begun her personal arc by the same time
- Great Clans: Valor and Song quietly compete for control of the campaign
Layout
- East Antarctica: main front
- Southern Quadrant: Sunny and Jet's approach corridor (Vol 6)
- Winter Beast: massive creature whose influence forces explorers to retreat
Outcome
The campaign collapses when the Song vs Valor war erupts, trapping Sunny and his companions in the Nightmare Desert — a forced entry into the Third Nightmare (Vol 7).
