The Northern Plateau is first introduced in Book 1 as a remote, windswept expanse whose very existence is treated as little more than rumor. Over the course of the series it transforms from an uncharted wilderness into the fulcrum of the Hierarchy’s greatest secret: a dormant gateway to the long-lost realm of the Founders. By the final volumes, the Plateau is no longer a backdrop but an active battleground whose shifting ley-lines and buried ruins decide the fate of the entire empire.
