Tupik

Tupik is the village in the living land where Yehuda Leib, Bluma, and Issur live with their families. The village is rather small but the residents provide for their basic needs with a butcher shop, bakery, church, cemetery, and more. The village is described as a “dead end.” There is nothing but swamp past the village but the town still maintains a ferry, which is how the Dark Messenger first arrives in Tupik. This is also how Yehuda Leib and Bluma return to Tupik after being in the Far Country for a long time.

The Cemeteries

Each cemetery provides the possibility of travel between the world of the living and the Far Country. The cemetery at Tupik is where Yehuda Leib's mother and Bluma's grandmother are buried. There is a secret cemetery in Zubinsk that Lilith uses as a travel place.
