On the side of Summer Court, the front lines are secured by thorny magical vines, suggestive of the sleeping Beauty myth. Forest elves, gnomes, fairies, and animated objects dig into trenches. A krampus patrols the front line.Geography
Lugubria features a single massive island continent, floating in and slowly rotating above a terrifying void. Lugubria's surface is generally flat. At Lugubria's exact center, an immense (yet elegant) marble fountain, surrounded by mist, rainbows, and enchanted forests, magically produces three mighty rivers. These rivers divide Lugubria into three distinct lands, suggestive of Anaxamander's T-and-O map of Earth. Each river ends in an infinite waterfall, creating twisting rainbows in the ominous, misty depths beneath. Lugubria's underside shows evidence of various ores, crystals, and gemstones, practically inacessible to Lugubria's inhabitants.
Lugubria is orbited by twelve tiny planetoids, **each just large enough to look humorously fake and not blocking the sky, reminiscent of the scale and gravity in 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry**, arranged around Lugubria like the Ptolemaic model.
