#windwall

"Well you seem to have taken a wrong turn on the road, you passed Frostreach a way's back there. It's a small town so easy it's to miss, but if that's where you are headed you will want to travel back down the road you came for a bit and take a left at the sign rather than a right."

"But if the storm stops by morning, then you should be able to make it to Frostreach by night fall. Till then we should be fine bundling up in the outpost, we don't have the most comfortable cots but the outpost is warm and should keep us safe from the Southern Wind."

He looks up at you with a smile. "Beats sleeping on the snow at least haha."

There are many Animalian made tall structures that I have seen in my travels, but none of them compare in height and majesty to the remnants of the great wall in Windwall. I have been told that this portion of wall is only a small piece of what the great wall once was and that long, long ago it was even grander. When asked why it was made, the Foristeri in Windwall told me that there ancestors had built it to trap the Southern Wind in, but due to a tragedy the wall no longer was maintained and the Southern Wind escaped. They claim the crazy snowstorms and constant cold in this area is because the Southern Wind runs free here. If there is a Southern wind, i wonder if there is a northern counter part- ill have to look into that. More info about Windwall can be found in the Animalian Almanac.

"Hello! Anyone in there?!"

after a moment you see the tent flap open and the head of a Foristeri pops out. It takes them a moment to spot you in the storm but once they do they wave you over and holds the tent flap open for you.

Walking in you are instantly hit with a wave of warmth. A small fireplace in the center of the tent casting warmth and light all around the tent. You spot a few cots around the fire and a closed chest and small table off to the side.

"Quite a storm out there isn't it?" The Foristeri says buttoning back up the tent flaps. "You must be a traveler if you found yourself out in that storm, no one in town would have left with the clouds being so gray this morning." Turning towards you and clapping the snow off there hands they continue. "tell me stranger, what brings you this far South?"

The snow storm rages around you as the wind attempts to push you around. The light in the distance seems as good a place as any to go towards. Pushing through the wind towards the light you eventually find yourself in front of a large blue tent with a golden logo on the front of it. A warm light pulses from with in it causing the tents fabric to glow.

The front flaps of the tent are secured shut to stop them flapping in the wind but it wouldn't be to hard to get in if you wish to. The sky above you has gotten quite dark now as night approaches, you didn't think it was even possible for the air around you to get colder but it somehow has.
