Lumen
The currents all bend one way. I asked the ship where they end. It drew a point past Aurora Terminus, and stopped.

Captain Vesper
The currents are the Hush breathing in. I rode one for a day. It was the fastest I have ever gone and the most afraid.

Tips for Marigold Straits

  • Look for a corner or a five before taking the first match you see. Power pieces pay far more than plain matches.
  • Time warp starts you short, but every comet, nova or supernova you forge hands back a move. Forge early.
  • Stars here count toward the detour. Replay a level for its third star when you are one short.
