The various ports from the Southern Kingdoms had finally closed. It had been predicted by the mages in the Weather departments that the snow and blizzards would be harsher than usual and the seas might even experience a blitz of hailstorms.

Most kingdoms had already stockpiled sufficiently by this point and they even had enough rations to send the soldiers to the north according to the plan by the Southern Table of Kings in the alliance.
