The Obsidian Spire

The mist does not merely drift over the Jotun-Spires; it breathes.

In the silence of the black peaks, the stone remains vigilant. Folklore suggests these jagged crowns are not rock, but the calcified remains of the First Kings—monstrous titans caught by the sun’s first rays an eon ago.

At the center of the ridge stands the Obsidian Spire, a sharp, singular tooth of basalt pointing toward the churning grey heavens. It is said that when the clouds thicken to the color of bruised iron, the veil between realms thins. Those who stand beneath the spire do not see shadows; they see the ancestors moving within the fog, waiting for the long winter when the sun never rises, and the stone will finally soften back into flesh.

The mountain is patient. It has outlasted the gods, and it will outlast the stars.

EU, Apple and Users

Hey there, fellow EU citizens and Mac lovers! We’re all feeling the heat of Apple’s ongoing drama with the European Union over the Digital Markets Act (DMA). It’s affecting our daily lives, with some of our favourite iOS 26 and macOS features being held back in the EU. Think iPhone Mirroring on Mac, SharePlay screen sharing, and Live Activities—all gone for now! Apple says that following the DMA to the letter could mess with our privacy and security, especially if we’re forced to use rival platforms. On the other hand, the App Store is changing, with complicated commission tiers and limited payment options. This could mean fewer apps available or higher prices. The EU wants us to have freedom and open competition, but for now, we’re stuck with delays, restrictions, and a mixed bag of experiences. It’s a real head-scratcher, and we’re all waiting to see what happens next. Stay tuned for more updates as the legal and regulatory battles continue!
