[Northwest Central Zone of the Central Continent. Blue Leaf Village (Wasern Kingdom). 13th day of the 2nd month. Year 20,125 of the 5th age. 11:30 PM]
The Blue Leaf village owed its name to the tree in the center of the square, whose leaves, oddly enough, were blue. The tree had been planted by the founder of the village after returning from an expedition from the northern part of the continent.
Unlike other trees and plants, the blue-leaved tree only blossomed in late autumn and its white apple-like fruit ripened in mid-winter.
The most curious thing of all was that no matter whether the fruits were eaten raw, made into jam, or used to make liquor, they would always taste sweet and refreshing like a gentle icy breeze. As if they somehow retained the essence of winter, ice, and snow.
The Blue Leaf village was located far south of a mountain range and a few miles northwest of the capital city of the Wasern kingdom. Which was affiliated with the Solar Empire.
