Freemansundet

Freemansundet is the sound separating Barentsøya, to the north, from Edgeøya, in the Svalbard archipelago, Norway. It is named after Alderman Ralph Freeman, who was involved in the English whaling trade in the early 17th century.[1] The polar bear, Ursus maritimus, is a seasonal visitor to the Freemansundet; this species has a genetically distinct deme within the Barents Sea region.[2]

gollark: Practically, assuming you have remotely user-controllable computers and stuff, and you can't meddle with the network, you probably can't do much to stop people from doing necromancy outside of saying "WARNING: bargaining with mysterious entities on the extranet is a Bad Idea™".
gollark: I was referring to filtering "liches and other stuff necromancers stumble upon".
gollark: *Can* they actually filter that (EDIT: referring to "liches and other stuff necromancers stumble upon") in practice, given the whole "end to end encryption" thing, apart from somehow not letting those on the network?
gollark: SCP-2167 and the other demonics stuff (http://www.scp-wiki.net/a-brief-explanation-on-demonics) probably qualifies.
gollark: Yep, a few came.
