I'm unimaginative right now, but just to answer your question about Polaris.
The lifespan of a Polaris character is 3-12 sessions, depending on how conservative the Heart is about experience, and whether the Mistaken is doing her job right. But the lifespan of a Polaris character is not the lifespan of the Polaris game. My vision of the game involves long-term play—when your character turns or dies, you pick up a new knight and continue the war.
The world doesn't stop ending. If you end the game when your character ends, you might start to think that you = the world.
