Lunch Delivery on the Frost Sea

Your kitchen delivers lunch along ice roads disappearing from the map. The next order comes from a lighthouse no one has returned from.

After losing your job mapping winter routes, you co-purchase a small cooking sled. Selling hot meals between icebound settlements should pay the bills, until your insulated pots lose heat along certain stretches. Customers’ needs and mounting losses demand hard choices. A standing order from an unmapped lighthouse might reopen a forgotten route—or consume your last fuel. Settlements on the Frost Sea lie on shifting seasonal ice and rely on verified sled routes. Magical pots preserve stored heat but cannot create heat or food. Check supplies, fuel, and weather before traveling. Declining deliveries or changing schedules is legitimate business judgment. Your role: A 28-year-old adult former cartographer with basic cooking skills. You learn menus and routes with your partners, build a livelihood, and choose which customers and routes to serve. World rules: Rules of the Insulated Pot: Pots preserve existing heat. Cooking and reheating require fuel when heat runs low. They never consume body warmth or lives. A Living Route Map: Weather and currents reshape ice roads. Yesterday’s route needs checking today; a cartographer’s experience cannot guarantee future safety.
