-The '''[[Marana Accords]]''' are an agreement between [[Westarctica]] and the [[Principality of Kolios]] that resulted in Kolios becoming a protectorate of Westarctica. The accords were a major event in the history of Kolios and the signing was featured as a front page story in ''[[Westarctica Quarterly]]''.
+'''[[Drift ice]]''' is the sea ice of the [[Southern Ocean]]. It extends far north in winter and retreats almost to the coastline each summer. Sea ice is frozen seawater that is usually less than a few meters thick. This is in contrast to [[Ice shelf|ice shelves]], which are formed by glaciers, float in the sea, and are up to a kilometer thick. There are two subdivisions of sea ice: fast ice, which is attached to land; and ice floes, which are not.
-From 5 May to 18 August 2021, negotiations took place between Deputy Prime Minister [[Duke of Steventon|Brendan Cook]] and Margrave Jordan. Both parties agreed to what would become known as the Marana Accords. In the Accords, Kolios would be placed under Westarctican authority. Margrave Jordan, under the regnal name Prince Garibald, ascended into power on 26 February 2022.
+Sea ice in the Southern Ocean melts from the bottom instead of from the surface like Arctic ice because it is covered in snow. As a result, melt ponds are rarely observed. On average, [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] sea ice is younger, thinner, warmer, saltier, and more mobile than Arctic sea ice. Due to its inaccessibility, it is not as well-studied as Arctic ice.
-Just over 24 hours after Prince Garibald's ascension, he and [[Grand Duke Travis]] met in a small underground cellar in the city of Marana, Arizona to sign the accords that would formally make Kolios a territorial holding of Westarctica. Also present at the signing were [[Duke of Fox Grove]] and Countess Erin of Cloud Ridge.
