Frozen Shores
A restless farmhand from Gawler, South Australia, transformed by a chance encounter in a country pub. At nineteen, Cody Jennings crossed through a Portal into another world and never truly returned. What followed was a life split between dimensions—founding the frozen settlement of Belkeep, raising twin children without their mother, and carrying secrets that isolated him from everyone he loved. His archive preserves the consciousness of a man who gambled everything on an audacious plan he would never see fulfilled.
Cody Brian Jennings never intended to become a man of two worlds. The middle child of a Gawler farming family, he spent his youth tending wheat fields and nursing a restlessness he couldn't name—until a spilled pint at the Kingsford Smith pub brought him face to face with the mysterious Jeremiah Atkins.
That night in October 1987 changed everything. At nineteen, Cody activated a Portal Key and stepped into Clivilius, stumbling into a frozen landscape that would become both his purpose and his prison. He founded the settlement of Belkeep, fell in love with a woman named Grace, and became father to twins—only to watch Grace die shortly after their birth, leaving him to raise Fryar and Freya alone in a world of perpetual winter.
For thirty years, Cody walked between dimensions, teaching his children about the Luke Smith Prophecy they grew to doubt, maintaining secrets that erected invisible walls between himself and his Earth family, and carrying the weight of the souls trapped in the harsh dominion he had inadvertently created. When he finally discovered Luke Smith and encountered Gladys Cramer, hope and desperation collided in an audacious plan he would never live to see completed.
This archive contains the complete preserved consciousness of a guardian, father, and lover—every moment from sunlit barley fields to frozen lake shores, every burden he shouldered, and the secrets he took to his grave.
