Bitterly Cold Conditions

Still signs of civilisation, but all who live there are sheltered

The land is a great, desolate world, where nights are clear and the moon glows with awful clearness. The icy world is silent, as every living thing goes to ground and nothing moves; the land is locked tight as a drum. The silence bludgeons you dumb. And every movement is stiff and numb, as you lumber along in heavy dun.
